OT Was z80 timing... 6502 timing - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

17 Apr 1999

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.
