  1. You can't get these hash browns at denny's. by SomePoorSchmuck · · Score: 1 · on Microsoft, Starbucks To Offer Wireless Service
    Expresso is a dictionary accepted variant. Funny enough, they don't think ficking is a word.
    Actually, I think s/he was alluding to a David Sedaris segment from "Naked", but it should be "feck" not "fick", so maybe they're just mocking curse-word censorship, or just being a sorry typist [that "u" key is a whole .6 inches farther than "i", after all...]

    In any case, dictionaries are mere repositories of demi-traditional, but mutable, language forms. They should not be viewed as sources of authoritative validation of the orthodoxy of any given particle. Although to be honest, I'm not terribly concerned with whether people use language "properly". I occasionally do so because it pleases me, but as long as I can understand what others are saying I don't get terribly distressed with verbal fudging.

    Herbal fudging , on the other hand, gets me very excited.

  4. How to stop this by GeorgeH · · Score: 2 · on "They Are Watching Everyone"

    The easiest way to get laws passed in the US is to show the lawmakers how they are affected by them. Case in point: your video store records are more protected than your financial information, because about 15 years ago a politician was publicly embarassed when a newspaper got a list of videos he/she had rented.

    So what to do about it? Well dig up dirt. Compile it. Share it. Let the world know Richard Nixon's social security number. Find out exactly what George W. Bush had for breakfast, and call him on his home phone number to let him know. Let the politicos understand why privacy is important and they will make the laws.

    If we don't get privacy from them, why should they get privacy from us?

    Don't know how many others around here used to be on Nirvananet (TM), but I'm sure there's quite a few.

    It's just not the same, but go here to read the boards.
