Yes, its definitely a stupid rule. Isn't something vaguely ironic about someone relentlessly adhering to an outdated grammatical rule when commentlng on an article about creationism? Maybe its just me.
Some of these words seem to hint strongly at a post on a very popular messageboard reading along the lines of:
Hey Merriam-Webster have got this 'What's your favourite non-dictionary word' thing. Lets all submit 'cognitive displaysia' and see if we can get it in.
Well 'fess up then if you are still there. Did you buy your ID on ebay? If so i'm afraid he's got your number really hasn't he?

Do you reckon this is just a really good bit of marketing by Vodaphone? Ignoring the fact there are already several phones on the market which fit basically the same crtieria.

Largely I agree with you. There is an obsession with these things and many people don't really need to be in touch all of the time. I used to go to festivals before there were mobile phones and the sense of mystery that I had there will never be repeated now that everyone can just call up their friends and find out where they are whenever they want.
That said I really can't agree with your tirade against the former poster. That poster was argueing with the previous poster rather than with the article and considering that the arguements seem very reasonable.
Nah you just need to plug it into the mains a bit more regularly. Small price to pay for carrying one less thing around with you in my opinion.

I bought a nokia 6630 recently. Cost me £90 in addition to the upgrade cash I had accumulated from my provider. Its got a 1.3 megapixel camera in it and I must say that as a sort of casual snapshot sort of camerawielder it is as good a camera as I need. More to the point I know I am going to have it with me all the time whereas I always forget to carry a seperate camera. Got some great pictures now.
Not that good in low light though I'll admit.

And Diggory in 'The Magicians Nephew' is of course the same person as the professor in 'The Lion the Witch and the Warddrobe' although seperated by a few decades. Which explains the presence of the warddrobe in his house.

Why move your data to the new computer? Leave it on the old one and just use the new one for what it has to offer.
One word - Racism
No wonder the French keep so well abreast of current affairs.
Wow, I have a new addition to my list of favourite websites for a few days.

Sorry
I thought Jesus's first law was:
Thou shalt not harm another person nor through inaction shalt thou allow another person to come to harm.
That made me think about these things . Not so good for burning ships up but still a rather nifty way of using solar energy.
Use of 'all' and 'everything' in the top post validate the grandparent imho.
Judging by the taste and reputation of Fosters isn't that more a case of recycling than regeneration?

Dude thats exactly his point, you can't prove paternity from a picture of a man and a child.

Um, that is how they actually did get Capone isn't it?
Xanth, oh my god that would be awful. Both Oz and Narnia would be fairly terrible too I think.
