"Sir, what you say is very likely true" is indeed what was meant, and said. :-) Your phonetic approach doesn't work well with Welsh. (Try this page for example: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cymru/gogleddorllewin/papurau_bro/papur_menai/newyddion/rhagfyr05.shtml ) Dd is not "d" ch is not "sh" ll is not "l" gallwn fynd ymlaen ... ;-)

Even though it's an "etymologizing alteration".

In America 100 years is a long time. In the UK 100 miles is a long way. :-) BTW: you still have to declare the tax you didn't pay in some states on your yearly return, so, you really save nothing. W.

A groove(y) synth at that - and not half bad - and at a price that's affordable. So, now we know ;-) http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xenon-groove-synthesizer/id385498073?mt=8 No connection, just like it among others.

That must have been a quite a while ago - it's been a criminal offense to sell quite a lot of things by pounds weight in the UK for some time. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CFUQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymail.co.uk%2Fnews%2Farticle-1074249%2FMetric-martyr-trader-gets-criminal-record-selling-fruit-veg-pound-stall-set-mother-Blitz.html&ei=gfu8T4L0IqbG6gGHr_Va&usg=AFQjCNEbzPLm9SDij6B0yK_7-th0-PEXrA&sig2=I2BPME0SSMgJC0zarfpTrQ

I work on a 27" monitor every day out of choice for clarity as well as resolution and do not see individual pixels. 27" is a great choice for 1920x1200 IMO. Anything below 27" is cramped ;-)
