| 161279 | 2003-07-20 23:54:00 | I prefer programmes, myself, such as the ones I write. All correctly spelt (so no undeclared variables :D) and syntactically correct (so they compile). I also ensure that they are semantically correct (so they work). Lesser beings write programs in BASIC, Cobol, and Fortran. Others write progumes in word processor virus macro and other scripting dialects. And C, C++. ]:) Programmes work. :D |

| 161283 | 2003-07-21 03:08:00 | I've kept out of this up to now, just had a good chuckle every now and then, because as you all know I'm from "the old country", and everyone knows we had a much superior education over there :). Or maybe, we all had a good education, (even here), 50/60 years ago, and teachers knew how to speak and spell. It's the pronunciation and the great vowel change I like comment about that is one cause of poor spelling, even a major cause. Now hands up all those that think unknown is spelt unknowen :D Now hands up again those who know the difference between all ready and already. (I dont think Stu does in a nearby posting) |

| 161286 | 2003-07-21 03:34:00 | Not to worry, it is all good fun. I will take issue however with the complete urban myth that has grown up (notice I didnt say growen ) that Winston Churchill suffered from dyslexia. That is completely untrue, it seems to have been spread by those that re-write history. If that was true he would never have been able to have proof read his prolific writing output :) |
