It would also not subtly rearrange the letters in words such as "colour", "favourite", "centre", etc.
As a side note, I think some words should be expanded. "Centre" could be an organization (eg. "Medical Centre", "Centre for Disease Control"), while "center" could be a point (eg. "the center of the circle"). --------

He never said that. He said people with inflated views of their abilities are dangerous. That is true.
Also, considering your chances of survival decline exponentially with increasing speeds, driving 5 mph over the speed limit likely will mean the difference between life and death of you, the people in the other car, or your passenger(s).
Please, before you kill somebody, sell your car and buy a bus pass. --------

Multi-processor builds are faster because make (with the -j option) compiles several files in parallel (idealy, one per processor), not because data is piped from stage to stage in the compiler.
Or because it does pipe data from stage to stage without having to context-switch back and forth.
