heh, I've obviously only taken note of those that felt it was uncouth before the feminists bandied it around. To answer your question, I'm from North Queensland, Australia. primary school is Prep(atory) - year 7, and high school is years 8 - 12. I presume middle school is a composite of ~ 6 - 8?
From your comment I am forced to conclude you are a 'middle'* school English teacher. You are incorrect. 'Their's use as an impersonal pronoun precedes the feminists by a significant amount of time. It was just consider vulgar, unsophisticated.
* we don't have middle school so I presume it would be equivalent to primary education.
If you acknowledge the common rules of grammar, you would recognise that 'their' can be used as an impersonal pronoun in cases where the gender is unknown. Less common but also correct is the use of 'one/s' as an impersonal pronoun. As neither suffice all the time we regularly see a case for a new word to cover all impersonal pronoun usage.
Perhaps as the fake islands would provide a greater surface area, increasing the potential places for creatures to live... much like sunken ships and other human structures do currently, but on a much larger scale.
It is, it is. Very wasteful. Do they know how many meter of dirt needs to be move just to provide them with their IP addresses? How much energy is consumed? It is incomprehensible! We should refuse all IP using products whether they are v4 or v6! Definitely don't want to waste any more IP addresses than we have to...
I use a free OS because if I tell it to do something, it does what I want. I used MS Powerpoint on my wife computer last night... I'd change the font then start typing... and it would change the font back to Ariel! Why? I had told it to change fonts... it knew I really wanted to use Ariel... gah.... The folks watching then had the gall to tell me... but I like Windows, it's what I grew up with... No wonder the business sector is so damn inefficient.
I'm curious, I've seen your signature around a few times and was wondering what prompts you to have it. It has been a while since I've read 1984, but I've never noticed blatant discrepancies you allude to.
Australia. The only equivalent we have shows only kids pictures... some of which I would enjoy. Had I children I may take them just see the movie myself:) Some times a stupid movie can hit the spot.. I've quite enjoyed the new Get Smart, Spaceballs etc...
In spite of our commonalities... I will not take you up on your offer.
They must have seen the previews. I used to hate previews but it has saved me from some appallingly dumb movies that I'm starting to like them. Of course that they had Ben Stiller's name up was also a hint that it may be neanderthal.
Yeah, I never got why the programmers didn't put a "This is gpl software... there is no restrictions on use, just distribution. We have to put this here because of the installer. One day we'll write our own but currently that's not our itch." instead of the gpl. I vaguely remember one developer did do something similar, but that was on Windows and it was shareware software.
Linux isn't the key, just a medium. I am more worried that it will become the new monoculture. I'm currently trying to get Plan 9 to run and learn that. Or solaris. or both.
While pp is funny, there are some who may agree with them. My wife for one
My wife is quite happy with WindowsXP and has Office 2003 (despite it being as slow as all buggery). She is currently going through a job application process, and the latest email contained a docx file. I groaned and moaned and told her to download the MS Word viewer -- from Microsoft's web page mind you for opening docx files -- and lo and behold it wouldn't open the file! "The file you are trying to open was written in an earlier version of Word, would you like to download the compatibility software?" We dutifully did and it hung or something. My heart is dropping that she is going to insist on buying the the latest Office. I gave it a go on my linux machine (OO.org 2.4) which it did without any noticeable problems.

As one of the fundamentalists, I believe you are mistaken. The Anthropic principle is the exact opposite of what you claim just as thasmudyan said...
Has USA begun investigating the kidnapping of Alaska?

No, but the grammar does...

Soo.. text only bittorrent?
Would it be too hard for a suitably knowledgeable person to reconfigure bittorrent into asciitorrent? Heck it's probably out there already!...
