While reading the thread on the command of the English language by some I
was amused by a lot of netters (you know who you are) who started using
really 'big' words. I guess you all dug up your Webster's dictionary to be
sure not make any mistakes defending someone spammed for making them in the
firstplace. I then concluded that once you got it all dusted off,some of you
started browsing to find clever new words to impress us all.
Well I am impressed, If only I could motivate my students this way.


Miata content : ordered some stuff from the always grammaticaly correct Bill
Cardel last month, total cost for everything was just under 700 us$, my
beloved country took one look at the package, cracked a croocked smile and
said, 'right, you'll pay an extra 230 dollars on that for import', together
with the 175 dollars shipping I almost could've flown to Colorado and picked
up the stuff myself. WHy oh why do all the good dealers live on the other
side of the pond...sigh
At least Little Red Rooster has some new toys
