It wouldn't be so terribly bad, except that the installation is in the ceter of my cranium, with no way for the User to access that part. <br /><br />For example, that Reply All message?

For that matter, neither is mine, as I grew up in East Texas. <br /><br />Lagniappe: while I'm writing this, they're testing the public announcement system system in my office. The tester is counting down from ten to one in some unmentionable, indistinguishable dialect, and the only reason I know they're doing that is because of the actual number of pauses in his speech pattern.Rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09924556230506190220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-49227147959281860962010-11-15T09:45:46.541-06:002010-11-15T09:45:46.541-06:00It's good to have a second language.
