152200 2003-06-13 06:01:00 Stu/Agent Perhaps the word should be practical

Babe.

152202 2003-06-13 06:16:00 >practicable:
1. Capable of being effected, done, or put into practice; feasible.
2. Usable for a specified purpose: a practicable way of entry.

Usage Note: It is easy to confuse practicable and practical because they look so much alike and overlap in meaning. Practicable means “feasible” as well as “usable,” and it cannot be applied to persons. Practical has at least eight meanings, including the sense “capable of being put into effect, useful,” wherein the confusion with practicable arises. But there is a subtle distinction between these words that is worth keeping. Someone with a practical knowledge of French may be able to order coffee in a café, though it may not be practicable to learn the language of every country in Europe.

I think it was the retro looking businessman on the right hand side...

152204 2003-06-13 06:51:00 While I admit similar colours are not very good (in text/background orientation), I can read it perfectly fine.

Is it just because I have an LCD, or what?

152205 2003-06-13 06:53:00 Well I've read it using an LCD too... and I found it harsh... mind you, it's a Friday now so am pretty jaded anyway.

152206 2003-06-13 08:01:00 The sentence where "may not be practicable" occurs makes sense and is correct... however, as shown by some of the comments on this site, many people may not understand the meaning :)

152207 2003-06-13 08:33:00 I agree with Mike. It is a clumsy use of a perfectly good word - just not in this context. Winston001 (3612)
152208 2003-06-13 10:00:00 Part from that grammar error any other problems/suggestions???? stu140103 (137)
152209 2003-06-13 10:43:00 Rather good in my opinion. I'd look at making the code all up to spec though http://validator.w3.org -=JM=- (16)
