I AM A f**kING PRICK

i can only assume from this mykey that you're still slogging away on
microsoft internet explorer, get thasen to www.mozilla.org and download
the firefox browser and you shall be introduced to the concept of tabbed
browsing.

every time you open another ie window in xp it starts another copy of the
program (tans system resources) whereas tabbed browsers use one copy
of the program ported out to lots of windows, or sub sections of one
window.

in safari (mac osx browser), which is very similar to firefox, i have all of
my forums links together and can open them all in discrete tabs with a
single click when i fire up my machine. i don't need to do that very often
as it happens as i only reboot my powerbook when there is a software
update that requires it. anyway, with one tab reserved for either
dictionary.com or google it is very easy to cross check spelling.

the exceedingly hypocritical point which some of you may have noticed is
my dogged refusal to use capital letters except for scientific notation.
there is no reason for this, it is merely company policy...

One thing that catches my eye every time is the word SIMULAR.

There's at least 3 guilty posters.

that'll be the wine you made from the course. good for merriment, bad for brain (esp if you use turps)

i cant be bothered to quote cos i'm lazy.. (@ james and norty)

but i would disagree about "perfect grammar" etc

i spend far too much time on the internet already, so try to minimise what i can, i also understand how the english language has evolved over thousands of years and how creative/or not so  minds and mistakes contribute to this process. read Roland Barthes "a myth of text" and listen to kurt schwitters sound poems, and other dada actions, even look in the new entry section of the oxford dictionary.

idiocy should not be tolerated but language should not become a fascist barrier either.

and i think that by far, forums like this only ever suffer from idiocy and not language. ie the title of this thread (haha ok thats language also, but..)

in fact i enjoy reading freddyi's's'es posts and think he is the grand daddy of the forum with his insessant k coupler offerings and like for banjo music . even if half of what he says doesnt seem to make much sense.

p.s. @freddyi dl venetian snares heres a snippet http://www.bleep.com/player.php?track=ZIQ056_DM-01 from "higgins ultra low glue funk hits". opera and breaks with rap lyrics all in one!    -and throbbing gristle were great when i saw them in london a few years ago (re-union gig) very noisey indeed.

Have downloaded Firefox. It took a bit of getting used to, but as Rog said "sometimes you have to forget the things you know in order to learn new stuff". Well something like that.

Freddyi, what is that thing in your room.
