I think I've been pretty clear about being from somewhere else. If you need me to review, I can. Totally fine with that. The bit where you say the way I talk is wrong versus different, then we gonna have issues. You can say parentheses all you need--I am not going to sweat it much, though.
One of the people I see agreeing with that article is also self-identifying as having Aspergers and a brain injury. At what point can you be clear about what causes bring on what social effects?
Hmm. I guess the sort of gamer you would be in the early-mid 80s would be the sort that wrote your own games too, and given the effort expended to play through a Mass Effect and then do it again as male Shepard or a different character or whatever, I'm gonna say that your (my) Zork-ripoff for the BBC Micro or the Asteroids ripoff for the ZX Spectrum took less time, don't know about effort.
Steph, please. You are right there. Don't front like you're anywhere else.

I didn't say you were wrong, I said parentheses and brackets are called two different things in the U.S., and that's all I know.
Ita, one of my pet peeves is saying "driving on the wrong side of the road". It's the other side.

Dang, I thought I was so convincing as being EVERYWHERE. Omnipresence isn't what it's cracked up to be.
Java, there's always people driving on the OTHER side of the road, though. Unless its a one way street. In which case wrong side would also be applicable.
Not if you define the sides as "left" and "right"!
Which reminds me, at the dentist yesterday, she kept asking me to turn toward the left or right, and it threw me every time. I realize I'm used to them asking me to turn toward or away from them.
meara, when I've heard "wrong side of the road" being used it's been said by smug Americans who think they're being witty about their travel experiences. It's not witty, it just sounds provincial.
so, exploding watermelon with rubber bands.
I chuckled, but apparently I'm 12.

I laughed too, le nubian.
So, company that is trying to woo me to quit consulting and work full time... I had lunch with a couple of people in (what would be) my department on Tuesday and it went well. They gave me a tour of the place, talked it up, yadda yadda. Formal interviews have been set for next Tuesday and I received the 5-page application (that accompanies the CV) and it wants salary history. God I hate that. I have nothing to cover up, but I still feel like it's none of their business. Have written to my friend (and former colleague) the VP there to see if she listed hers when she interviewed before she came aboard.
