My mom was knitting socks for my father BEFORE they were married and was
ribbed by her co-workers about how large his feet were and how that
corresponds to OTHER attributes. What she told ME was "Don't believe
it...it's not reliable at all."

I remember we had a similar discussion, when I begged concert-goers to
measure MP's hands for me so that I could knit him a pair of mittens.

D---! I used to always win my school's spelling bees, but I missed five

Date: Fri, 3 Dec 1999 09:23:00 EST
Okay guys-
A doctor I work with on Tuesdays has posed me a riddle and I need to give him
an answer next Tuesday and I am thoroughly stumped. Here it is:
He who builds it, sells it.
He who buys it, doesn't use it.
He who uses it, doesn't know it.
What is it?
I'm inclined to think it can't be a material object- has to be something like
building a reputation, though that doesn't fit the other parameters. Any
whizzes out there with a solution?

Date: Fri, 03 Dec 1999 10:59:47 PST
Hi everyone,
i found at the video club the movie "The Lemon Sisters" starring (among
others) Kathryn Grody, Mandy's wife. Is it worth renting it? How is it?
I've read some reviews on www.imdb.com, and they say that there's a scene
where Carol Kane sings Rawhide, and which is apperently very funny. I'm sure
i would like it, i love Carol Kane, she's always funny (even when she was a
guest on CH). Diane Keaton is in the movie too, and i thinks she's a
marvelous actress, mostly when she was with Woody Allen.
Well, how is the movie?
Poutchy

I always put my spelling mistakes down to American English verses English
English if you catch my drift. Fortunately we don't have spelling bees over
here, all my spelling tests at school were written down. I'm still in awe
of those 9 year olds who can stand up and spell in front of audiences.
Spelling words correctly while writing is one thing, spelling out loud still
terrifies me to this day. Thank God for spell checkers.
Why is it though that most people seem proud of the fact that they can't do
basic maths (or math for my North American friends) but people are happy to
castigate those who can't spell?

No, that isn't just really shallow! It would be wrong to judge people =
*solely* by spelling and grammar, but whether you like it or not, the way =
you express yourself in print *does* relate to the kind of person you are. =
As always I exclude people communicating in a language not their own, and =
people otherwise disadvantaged in regard to language skills. But just =
because some of us *do* subscribe to the literary equivalent of "you are =
what you eat" we should not be branded shallow.=20
DR <-- who missed 2 words on the spelling test, but won't list them =
because she *still* won't spell them write....er, right.

Personally I judge people on their actions rather than their
spelling/grammar. I'm sure there are psychopaths who can spell perfectly
but I sure as hell wouldn't want to communicate with them. Misspellings,
grammatical errors etc. who cares as far as newsgroups are concerned? When
I write these e-mails I type as if I'm talking. How often do we use bad
grammar when we chat normally? If we're going to get pedantic we shouldn't
even use apostrophes. They were always considered sloppy when I was at
school.
Where would we be if all of Mandy's songs had to be grammatically correct?
Maybe we should go throughout the lyrics correcting the grammatical
mistakes. LOL
