I started using chat rooms in the 4th grade, before we were ever taught to write essays, and while we were still having spelling tests. I'm sure you're familiar with "netspeak."
I learned to type and spell during the same formative years. At spelling bees, when I wasn't too nervous to think straight, I would type out words in the air while I thought, much the same way other people said they pretended to write them out in the air.
As long as you can go back and mime it, what does it matter if you think of typing first instead of longhand?
anyways, learning a foriegn language is far more detrimental to spelling.
I live "next" to a nuclear power plant (ANO). It's great. They drowned a few hundred acres, so there's roads going off into the middle of the lake, but the marina is popular, and personally, I like the perpetual clouds right at the sunset.
only thing is Entergy won't give us a rate break:p
On my road, one of our neighbors has a grading hook up for his tractor and every six months or so, he grades the road.
What was really awesome was the time someone got ahold of some busted up road (you could still see the yellow/white paint) and put it on the road. that settled it down for a couple of years.
Listen, there's a few hundred folders there. I use a mac afterall. If it's not presented as a choice between universal and powerpc then it's presented with too many choices:p
I might be confusing it with the train station, now that I think about it. Either way, mass transit in Paris asking for â0,5 to dispose of bodily fluids.
One eighth grade day in Science class, an attention seeking girl who had recently eaten a tunafish sandwich decided to play Morning Sickness all over her desk. We had to vacate the classroom, and several girls ran for the toilets to lose their breakfasts. I came pretty close myself, if only because I can't stand tunafish.
I keep trying to apply that logic to ebay, and when I say it in my head, to ebay *sounds* like a verb, and then I start trying to parse it in pig latin, and the whole thing just goes funny vegetable shaped.
the bit about bonding with the containers made me think of my dog. When he was a poor, orphaned puppy, he lived in a box. He outgrew many boxes, but still treats them like littermates, roughhousing with any that we bring around as though they were actual dogs. Christmas was difficult, getting down the boxes of ornaments and to wrap gifts in without him chewing them up.
Supposedly, Mr. Fahrenheit started his scale at the coldest winter temperature he knew of and ended up at the hottest summer temperature he knew of, and assigned water a value accordingly after dividing it into 100 parts.
That's what The Romance of Physics (1966?) tells me anecdotally, and it sounds very reasonable.

My generation, you mean?

I dunno about that. In my experience, librarians have only served as the gatekeepers. And with self-service book scanning, mere security guards.
Thanks to the internet, I have no need of a literary concierge.
Also, I apologize for my inability to use a thesaurus.

Would this be an issue if it were an anonymous contributor?
I needed that dose of sluggy; thank you!
My copy (student version) was about $78 or so, I think.

Should've started on the osx version instead!

Not hard to imagine an airport with no bathrooms. Go to Charles de Gaulle with no loose change.
Hey, if you want to judge by the lowest denominator, that's fine. There's plenty of teenaged brits out there for the opposing side to use.
"Innit?" "Cos." ;)

But if we give them our social security numbers, then they *know* we're proper US citizens, right?!
Sometimes one puker starts a chain reaction.

ever since I found out MS doesn't supply an OS disk with OEM computers, I haven't felt their company supports the product I bought. Just saying.
(and if you buy those dells with linux pre-installed, I'm pretty sure those don't require a bunch of technical questions)

'not excessively intrusive in light of [the student's] age and sex and the nature of her suspected infraction.'
This is the most ridiculous part, I think. As a 13 year old girl, I definitely could've used some ibuprofen once a month.
Well, it redirects to arkansas.gov, but we do have http://www.state.ar.us/ :]

Maybe they wo;uld prefer to take care of their kids as much as possible rather than giving them over to babysitters and daycares?
Of course it is possible, but it may not be desirable.
so wait, you're saying netbooks don't have screens large enough to use the net with?
32-bit processors might have something to do with it. Or getting your money's worth out of the computers we already had.
