- Well my complaint is also that the new standard, by its inconsistency,
- is a somewhat lamer standard, even if it does make more sense from an
- ergonomic..er, human reaction point of view.
-
- But I do indeed which the Quickeys button extension let you specify
- "starts with" or "is kinda like" or "contains" in its neverending
- search for button text.
-
- And of course I'm probably the only person in the world who is
- annoyed at the inconsistent usage of three dots for an ellipsis (...)
- vs. the option-semicolon-thingie.
-
- And I'm REALLY annoyed at the drugstore down the street whose sign
- says "Drug's". Also "Athen's" or "Burn's". And by the way, in your
- quote above, it's "your", not "you're."
-
- Maybe I'm just really annoyed in general. i'll try to mellow out.
