No I didn't. You didn't pay at all. I demand an apology. But I paid you just now. I even asked for a receipt, but you didn't give me one. Right before login issues were resolved, but not really. |

You had it too easy. In my day, we held up 2 sticks and rubbed them like mad until they caught fire. Psht. Youngster. In MY day, we just held up an old branch and hoped some lightning would hit it. _____________________

There's, uh, probably a lot of things you didn't know about lindens. Another, another interesting, uh, lindenism, uh, there are only three jobs available to a linden. The first is making shoes at night while, you know, while the old cobbler sleeps.You can bake cookies in a tree. But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.

Your paranoia's showing, Love. Pep (But it doesn't mean you mightn't be right some day) PS Yep, an intentional double negative, again! LOL, it was a joke. You know, grumpy old man who can't accept change? Curious: is "laser" an acronym or not? I'm guessing you will say no. _____________________

Alyx, you are SO winning this thread. Thank you, even though Pep apparently has not even read what I wrote. I did explain about different theories concerning "initialisms". LOL, it was a joke. You know, grumpy old man who can't accept change? Curious: is "laser" an acronym or not? I'm guessing you will say no. Course it is. Stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. Historically it IS an acronym. If you only look at current English usage, you *could* argue because most people now just accept it as a lexeme ("word" , it has changed its status.Nothing to discuss. "SPQR" is obviously an initialism not an acronym, since it means nothing as a word, in Latin, nor in a linguistic crossover, in English. Pep (You all continue to prove my point. Thank you.) I never said it was an ENGLISH acronym. I'm about to throw my whole library at you. AND I'm getting slightly grumpy. I *could* start explaining the differences between synchronic and diachronic analysis of "words" or how prescriptive and descriptive works, and that there ARE different theories on, e.g., word formation processes (as I have already said before), but...I think I'll rather go back to my boring university admin programme and add a few more classes for next term. _____________________

I think it would be a lost cause anyway; at best, you'd be accused of being "on something", as with Qie.  “Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig.” Ironically appropriate, being another Heinlein quote. |
