Machine gun would still accurate, if the weapon in question was capable of firing more than one round per depression of the trigger. Of course some people choose to limit the scope of the word. Some differentiate between assault rifle and squad automatic weapons by calling the SAW a machine gun and the others rifles. Others draw the line between single opperator and multiple operators or man-portable and vehicle mounted. The SAW is man-portable and a single soldier can weild it effectively. Other machine guns are not portable by a single soldier and require a crew of two or more to effectively transport, setup, and weild.
How do you pronounce "ough"? Example/Rhymes with Through/Threw Cough/Off Rough/Stuff Thoug ht/dot Bough/cow Lough/Lock Dough/Throw In English, you can't pronounce it like it's written.
That's not necessarily the case. It all depends on the definition of insanity. A voice-hearing schizophrenic can realize the voices for what they are, hallucinations.

I think some people (not all, mind yea, so it doesn't necessarily apply to slahdotter scientologists)convert just so they don't look stupid in front of their friends.
Just my two cents, I apologize to any that might have been offended by my opinions.
I agree. I think that all authors should have to use the same vocabulary set and sentence structure. In fact, a Standard Author Stylesheet can be made and distributed. Or a text parsing program could be used that would have a set of approved sentences and paragraphs used to convey different situations.
You mean like newspeak. That way reading could be doubleplussimple.

For one thing, unemployment would sky-rocket.
There'd be a rash of hate crimes perpetrated againsts the deaders(or pasters or whatever their slur would be).

I think the point of alternate energy is to travel great distance without gasoline and quickly.
Your sig line reads "The floggings will continue until moral improves."
Under normal circumstances, I try not to be pedantic. But since it's in a sig line "moral" should be "morale".
Unless you're trying to go for something like the Spanish Inquisition, then "moral" should probably be "morals"

Your lawsuit is against SCO. But we're UNIX System Labratories.
