choice: Pepsi or Coke

Lots of development going on. << What was the main reason they chucked M$? The industry sucks these days. Nothing but Java or M$. It is like choosing between Hitler or Mousilini. M$ with their point-and-click spehgetti-making wizards, and Java with it's spehgetti API's. sigh ________________ oop.ismad.com

Post #3,995 by tablizer 8/6/01 10:40:22 PM Reply	and something I notice about English Except for the emphasized syllabal and any final vowel, the the vowel sounds are rather de-emphasized (at least to my ears). ("Long vowels" may be exceptions.) Thus, you could have emphusized, emphisized, emphosized, emphusized, etc., and most people would pronounce them the same under normal speach. Thus, perhaps we should have a generic vowel: prnounced emphsized mooslni.....well, okay, moos*lini. Anybody with me to overhaul English? I like to FIX stupid things instead of live with them.

However since I consider my posts visual speech I rarely check spelling or punctuation. If I was submitting a document instead I would check both. thanx, bill Our bureaucracy and our laws have turned the world into a clean, safe work camp. We are raising a nation of slaves.

There are no spelling bees in Spanish speaking countries because you don't need them. (This is off-topic, but where should it be moved?) ________________ oop.ismad.com
