Can we please depricate use of the non-word "stuph"?
Unless of course we have 'l33t d00dz" on this list that can't help but make
up annoying spellings of words.
I much prefer clarity and correct spelling to "coolness" on this list.
Thanks!

wrong Al, but I can't? Huh?
Nah, gorged on pizza myself. Though an animal lover,
I didn't plan on refraining from the bird. Just didn't
feel like spending the holiday with the relatives (one
of them called the cops on me recently LOL LOL LOL).
So I bought 2 really big pies yesterday. Uy.

And "puter". *barf*
You stand to offend alot of Aussies with that comment
Sridhar (from whom I learned it). If you've never
noticed, they abbreviate most everything. Like:
rego - registration
choc chip - chocolate chip
chocky milk - chocolate milk
prolly - probably
to name a few :)
Perhaps eat out next year Sridhar if the home cooking
is that lousy LOL LOL. There is a certain gnack to
cooking a turkey though, this I must admit...
Peace... Sridhar
Yeah, and happy Thanksgiving to you too you royal
PIMA.

Ah, the sweet smell of troll bait in the morning... It smells
like... bickering.

Excellent. Let's talk about "depricate."

When I went back to college as a grad student, I was worried that my bad
spelling would be an embarrassment. It turned out that MOST of the people
that I dealt with were substantially worse! So, now I have a license
plate frame that proudly proclaims that I am a "UC Berkeley Aluminum".

One day I sold a 80186 CPU with a heat sync on ebay. Somebody used that
earlier than me.

New subject: OT a bit How little we remember
I finally decided to take a look at the November 16 issue of
Electronic Design (sometimes it takes me several months to get around
to reading Bob Pease's rants--the current one is about sand, near as
I can figure).
At any rate, on page 50, there's an article title "March of the
Multibus MCUs". Says I to myself, "They've resurrected Intel
Multibus for microcontrollers? Now THAT's interesting!"
Turns out to be no such thing--"Multibus" here applies to "multiple
bus" devices.
Sigh, I guess I'm never going to find a use for those 86-conductor
edge connectors...

Just don't expect anyone to listen to you, or take you seriously.

As do I. An accidental/ignorant mis-spelling in a post deserves a
gentle correction, with the goal of improving world communications. The
"to be cool" variety deserves no more than a simple pistol-whipping; the
perpetrator is obviously not ready for refined instruction.
I much
prefer clarity and correct spelling to "coolness"
on this list.

Were it Oxford, rather than U.C.B., it might well read "Aluminium."
I saw a young man with a shirt which read "Your retarded." I had
already opened my mouth to correct the grammar, when it hit me that the
point of the shirt was to garner just that response, so the wearer could
say something to the effect of "Well, at least I'm not arguing about
grammar on a t-shirt." Since my mouth was already open, and not wishing
to appear to be either retarded, or attempting to catch flies, I said
"You almost caught me with that shirt." The wearer was impressed.
Slacker. Grumpy old Fred, indeed. Keep off my lawn. <Grin>
