My generation, you mean?

I started using chat rooms in the 4th grade, before we were ever taught to write essays, and while we were still having spelling tests. I'm sure you're familiar with "netspeak."

I learned to type and spell during the same formative years. At spelling bees, when I wasn't too nervous to think straight, I would type out words in the air while I thought, much the same way other people said they pretended to write them out in the air.

As long as you can go back and mime it, what does it matter if you think of typing first instead of longhand?

anyways, learning a foriegn language is far more detrimental to spelling.

I live "next" to a nuclear power plant (ANO). It's great. They drowned a few hundred acres, so there's roads going off into the middle of the lake, but the marina is popular, and personally, I like the perpetual clouds right at the sunset.

only thing is Entergy won't give us a rate break :p

I dunno about that. In my experience, librarians have only served as the gatekeepers. And with self-service book scanning, mere security guards.

Thanks to the internet, I have no need of a literary concierge.

Also, I apologize for my inability to use a thesaurus.
(road road road road rode road road road)

On my road, one of our neighbors has a grading hook up for his tractor and every six months or so, he grades the road.

What was really awesome was the time someone got ahold of some busted up road (you could still see the yellow/white paint) and put it on the road. that settled it down for a couple of years.

Would this be an issue if it were an anonymous contributor?

I needed that dose of sluggy; thank you!

My copy (student version) was about $78 or so, I think.

Listen, there's a few hundred folders there. I use a mac afterall. If it's not presented as a choice between universal and powerpc then it's presented with too many choices :p

Should've started on the osx version instead!

*impatient*

I might be confusing it with the train station, now that I think about it. Either way, mass transit in Paris asking for â0,5 to dispose of bodily fluids.

Not hard to imagine an airport with no bathrooms. Go to Charles de Gaulle with no loose change.

Hey, if you want to judge by the lowest denominator, that's fine. There's plenty of teenaged brits out there for the opposing side to use.

"Innit?" "Cos."
etc ;)

But if we give them our social security numbers, then they *know* we're proper US citizens, right?!
