    This guy at work noticed I was using firefox (he's an IE user), and said, slyly, "You know, there's a couple of really bad security holes." Good think FF fixes their holes faster than MS.

      That's like somebody seeing you kissing and saying "You can get diseases from that", yet they themselves are in a sexual relationship with somebody who is highly promiscuous with junkies.

    Why don't you upgrade your language from British English to American English?

    That would solve both problems.
