- Oh dearie me!!!!!

- Doesn't this conform to a DoD spelling flame rule? Whenever you flame somebody
- for a spelling mistake, the software automatically misspells one of your words
- to compensate.
-
- BTW, I believe it's avoirdupoi's. At least according to my Biker's addition
- of the Concise Oxford. Every biker should carry one. We would be flagged
- down by worried citizens, concerned over a particular word meaning or spelling.
- I can see it now, bikers advancing knowledge and culture throughout our
- wonderful lands. What a reputation we would build up for ourselves, how
- respectful we would become. Every biker would carry around a small collection
- of books such as a "decent" dictionary, a thesaurus, the complete works of
- Shakespear and collected poems from significant poets. Oh Brave New World,
- what wonders will you bring?
-
- "How do you spell insignificant?" "Hang on, I'll just nip outside and see
- if I can see a biker......"
