2 Things: The spelling of the word 'Building' and games for adults
Sunday, May 23, 2004 by joetheblow | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Ok... I am a weird guy. Everyone knows that (and yet I still get the ladies!!!!)
So here is my issue. I like to spell 'building' as this:
Biulding.
I like the way it looks and its far cooler than 'building'. I also have grave feelings about how the word 'Wednesday' is spelled. And don't get me started on January. I was upset for a few weeks because I had to spell January in a log book.
Second subject: Adult Games
===============================
I heard that the new 'in' thing to do is play Dodge Ball! that's right Dodge Ball. I LOVE DODGE BALL!!!!
I happen to think its the greatest game ever right behind that game where you have to toss a ball around to each other but when you catch it and toss it to the next person, you have to be in the air.
Anybody played Dodge Ball lately? There is an on-line groups for it and there might be a national league for it too.

Well, I lived there 3 months once, but that didn't influence my comment.
Anyways, it was my mistake.
I think I actually heard what I quoted in #54 on a Monty Python's Flying Circus episode and the guy pronounced human as "hoo-man".
What I really should have said was "I see people write ..."
A quick web search would probably lead you to conclude that Americans are more confused about it than are the Brits.
Anyways, it still chaps my a55. >

ok.....
So no one thinks the word 'lady' looks like a woman? or at least can related to a shape?
A shape doesn't come to mind when you read the word 'lady'???
BIULDING!!!!!!

Sorry, but I have never once thought of a shape when seeing the word lady. Now when seeing an actual LADY, now that's a different story...

I read this somewhere:
A teacher was explaining how a double negative, when spoken, always gives a positive. 'This,' he said, 'is true in every language accross the world. However, there is no example in any culture where a double positive gives a negative!' Looking proud, the teacher sits down, and there's a short silence, followed by a sarcastic voice: 'Yeah, right.'

Styl Skinner:
If you''re American, I wouldn''t blame you.
But I thought you were Dutch. If you are Dutch, doesn''t (in "proper" Dutch) the E in front of the IJ make the difference to pronounce it as in (english) hay, bay, play, say ??
Of course, if you speak one of the gazillions of Dutch or Flemish dialects, all bets are off !
Just curious...

Hi Style Skinner! Thanks for the vote of confidence on "Meijer"....I was going by hearing their tv ads and how everyone in Michigan says it!
That's not to say that us Michiganders were actually pronouncing it right! I get teased alot by how I say the the word "drawer", as in a desk and also the word "lilac"....of course, I also say "pop" for a soft drink, as I think a "soda" has to do with ice cream! So, we could be wrong!
Blessings to you!

In Oz, 'pop' is the sound a balloon makes when it argues with a pin...or what Britney sings.....'soda' is usually preceded by 'caustic' and it cleans drains...

Aw, Mr. Jafo! Balloons go "pop" here too! And, I have boxes of baking soda stored in my fridge to make it smell better inside it!
Have you ever had an ice cream soda? My Mom's first job as a 16 yr. old was working in a soda fountain and she taught me how to make them....boy, are they good!
Can't find them sold hardly anywhere now....pity one of life's better tastes....a chocolate ice cream soda. Yummy!

Oh, the dairy bar open? I'll have a frappe (pronounced "sap") and a clamroll. Mmmmm summer must be here Nothing better than an undercooked shellfish on a hot summer day 
Come on, ya gotta eat'em with the bellies attached and still soft in the middle like an over-easy egg. Clam strips are for whimps.
Pop Artists: Elton John, Michael Jackson (among other things), Billy Joel, Pat Benetar, Jackson Brown, ....Britney Spears is just a tool

So I took the wheel covers off the wife's Liberty the other day to clean the rims and notice that imprinted on the inside of the covers were the words "alloy alternative". Apparently "alloy alternative" is another phrase for "made of plastic"

Actually, that is incorrect. The standard arithmetic order of operations is:
1. Calculations must be done from left to right.
2. Calculations in brackets (parenthesis) are done first. When you have more than one set of brackets, do the inner brackets first.
3. Exponents (or radicals) must be done next.
4. Multiply and divide in the order the operations occur.
5. Add and subtract in the order the operations occur.
In your example, if a=24, b=2, C=3, and D=4, then
the expression a/b(C*D)=24/2(3*4)=24/2(12)=12(12)=144
when following the order of operations correctly.
Your description would result in the following expression and result:
a/[b(C*D)]=24/[2(3*4)]=24/[2(12)]=24/[24]=1.
