I feel like a character in The Sopranos, doing his impression of Michael Corlione in The Godfather: " I try to get out, but they keep suckin' me back in!"

I swore I would quit participating in this inane discussion, but just can't help myself!

Insofar as English has supplanted French (which had replaced Latin) as the default international language, it is American English that the world has adopted, essentially by way of computer usage. Or did I miss something? Is Bill Gates actually a Londoner?

So there!

Also, for someone who presents himslef as such a stickler for proper spelling to actually type the non-word "WEARD" ~ it's just unbelievable, downright EARY!
