Zelda misspelled it. That's why you didn't recognize it; actually it's âiìíméùúûhhh.

I was caught there fer a while too. It's an overpronunciation of the word "aime". We usually pronounce it "em". Means love as "we love".

I thought it looked a bit like aime followed by an air kiss... athough that's normally mwah...

The "Euh" puts emphasis on the "e", the last letter of "aime". In French it is pronounced quite differently...hmmm! an example: "Perusal" when not pronounced as "Peeerusal"
RRaarrgh! Frustrating to explain.

I would reply, but I can't even begin to think how to type what I'm hearing!

I think I understand though

My current average posting rate is approximately 1 post every 7,344 seconds.

--------- calculations were based on join date to and including today ----------------

From and including: Tuesday, November 18, 2008
To and including: Wednesday, May 6, 2009

It is 170 days from the start date to the end date, end date included

Or 5 months, 19 days including the end date
Alternative time units
170 days can be converted to one of these units:

* 14,688,000 seconds
* 244,800 minutes
* 4080 hours
* 24 weeks (rounded down)

WDE (I think Nick and his stats are having an influence on me!)

Congratulations. By my math that works out to one post every 7,344 seconds or one post every 122.4 minutes or one post every 2.04 hours.

I've just noticed that our friend Geoffc has just edged over his 5000th post.

Congratulations Geoff! Your posts are short but to the point and typically very clever...

Hats off!

Wetdogeared · 05-09-2009, 11:35 AM

Congratulations GeoffC on your 5,000th post, and for being the top of the top ten list of posters on MR, according to boardreader.com.

WDE.

GeoffC · 05-09-2009, 11:38 AM

Congrats, to GeoffC (and to zelda_pinwheel for being a very close runner-up)!!! Here were those results as posted recently on Boardreader.com:

Code:

Top authors on MobileRead Networks -
Community during last week:

Aside:

There was a time, long ago in late 2007, an era, that is best described as "BZ time" on MobileRead.com, that existed for which the same stats on Boardreader.com looked quite different, namely:

Code:

Top authors during last week:

JSWolf  	 49

Steve Jordan  	 22  
tribble  	 14  
Alexander Turcic 14  
astra_lestat  	 13  
Adam B.  	 13

That "BZ time" will forever be known as Before Zelda_pinwheel, and MobileRead.com was never the same afterwards,...good afterwards,.....really.....

p.s. ZP's MobileRead.com join date was Dec 6, 2007!
