I think I need an aspirin.
Can you imagine what Microsoft Text-to-Speech would do with DixieGal's posts? It would probably make as much sense as I can make out of them until I spend about three minutes working out each sentence. Bravo, DG! Even if you do make my head hurt! |

From Ellison, Ellison & Harlan Dear Forum Members (American sub-category)
I, Harlan Ellison, that God amongst men, that genius of the written word and all round suer of the wrong, have been taken on by Her Maj - Queen Elizabeth II - to make this official complaint. As you know, I, Harlan Ellsion, that God amongst men, that genius of the written word and all round suer of the wrong, have copyrighted all ideas from the moment just after the Big Bang until the End of Time(tm). In conjunction with her Maj - Queen Elizabeth II - I am now issuing a DMCA complaint against any American who continues to use English (the alphabet having been copyrighted by me also). If you wish to continue using "American-English" then you must pay royalties to me and Her Maj - Queen Elizabeth II. Rates are included below: Up to 500 words - $1 500 - 5,000 words - $10 5,0000 words and above $50 I think you'll agree that these fees are quite reasonable, and that I, Harlan Ellison, deserve every penny because I am a god amongst men and all round perfect human being. Yours Harlan *God of all* Ellison |

If such a thing is possible ...
Did I tell y'all that I dreamed the other night that the Queen was my Granny, but sort of the opposite way around? |

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." -- James D. Nicoll

And talking about language variants and meanings. Where I come from it's quite regular for Grandparents to take on the names "Mother" and "Father" instead of Granddad, Grandmother. Get's confusing at X-Mas though |
