I was trying to figure out whether it was politically correct to correct
someone else's spelling in this forum. I had the impression that there was
no orthographic police here. There certainly is a lot of error in that
department. Even my rented fingers don't spell any worse than the average
here.
Now . . .
What do you mean your money's on TONY? Which Tony?

Ooh! A machine code competition. I'm in!
I'll do the 6502 and whoop
EVERYONE'S ass!
Wait just a minute.....
Since we have been discussing various "ethnic" pronunciations, I am
compelled to point out that this statement may be interpeted differently
than intended.
As a born\bred survivor of the land of redneck, pickup truck, and chewing
tobacco, I assert that a "whoop" is a loud yelling type of activity. The
execution of which on someone's posterior will bring a certain confusion to
your enemy ( he will think you are a fruit ), but will not render him
defeated.
I laughed so hard at this mental image it made me hurt. :)
Try "whup" next time, as in "opening a can of whup-ass".

BTW, my money's on Tony.
