And, Max? What's a key-one-wee-one? Per se, that is.

Geez-Louise, no rest for the wicked on them typos, eh Max. We have some eagle-eyed ladies on Board, I tell ya. Pauvre chou. x( )x

Isn't our ex-pat kiwi (better Max?) off near the ocean somewhere in California? Now, I'm not saying it's right or anything, but ifn I had a choice between galavanting in the ocean or sitting inside at a computer desk, welllll, I'm thinking the ocean would win out at first.

Sorry, WW, K1W1 is no typo. Allah only knows whence it came, but it is a common affectation in these here parts.
As for the matter of expats, I know of none. I know of someone who has expressed an intent to voluntarily become an official prisoner of mother England, but such a person would surely not even want to be thought of as Kiwi. Else, why swap sides, and why pick such a damp, dreary, dismal side at that?

Um, but I assume "WW" is, since it was bel who made the original typo post? Or am I missing some subtle K1W1 humo(u)r? Wouldn't be the first time.

Well, nancy, you're nearly right. WW was a mistake but not a typo. It was what is often referred to in Usenet as a brain fart, caused by a critical, system-wide shortage of C8H10N4O2. please excuse me while I rectify this problem.

Yeah, Max, don't loose track of your coffee cup.

Yep, I've seen the cup with both the formula and the structure on it.

Going back, why 'riz' not 'ris' or is that 'rhiz'?
Re: Spelling - 09/25/04 09:27 PM
Because that's the way it's spelled. Why any spelling in preference to any other?
BTW, 'riz' outgoogles 'ris' 682 to 104, FWIW.

Perhaps because riz is the modern French word for rice and ris is the Old French word for rice and more people post more things in modern French on the web than in Old French?

Not when the google target is "spring is sprung" riz. Unless spring is sprung is modern French for 'to make your étoufée'
Re: Spelling - 09/26/04 03:21 PM

Touché.
