It's not a pond.. it's an ocean. Why
do some people insist on calling it a
pond?
I'm not sure that the definition of a
pond includes some form of boundary -
so if you zoom out far enough, it is a
pond, albeit a very big one. And "whilst" I'm at it, why do some
insist on using "blinkenlights" in re
CPU front panels instead of correct
English -- blinking lights?
Because it's mildly amusing.
