Be very Afraid - MICROSUCKS WINDOZE

It seems there is a very nasty company called MICROSUCKS that is guilty of every crime under the sun:

• Theft of intellectual property
• Lack of innovation
• Crippling competition
• Charging for software licenses
• Being mean, nasty and wearing ties

To make matters worse they have written a deliberately unsafe, insecure, broken OS called Windoze.

Please avoid these. Myself I use Microsoft Windows and have done so without any problems for 20 years. Lucky me - that I have avoided MICROSUCKS and Windoze and even the evil M$.

A little bird has whispered that MICROSUCKS, Windoze and M$ are some sort of ongoing joke by people who dislike MS Windows and have got nothing useful to say. Repearing the same immature, primitive joke over and over and over again???

GET OVER IT! GROW UP!

What is the World Wide Web?

People seem to be worrying that people do not know the difference between the World Wide Web and the Internet. GET OVER IT!
English is governed by changes of usage over time, not by pedantic adherence to "correct" meanings. Technical differences in concept between the Web and the Internet are, quite properly, irrelevant to most people.
If we restricted words to their "correct" meaning then most conversation by any English speaker under 60 would have a red line through it!!!

What I hate this month

1. The inventor of the plastic spoon
2. All creators of fake plurals
   The plural of virus is viruses, there is no such word as viri and the person who created the non-word virii deserves to be fed a diet of barbed-wire sandwiches
3. All creators of non-existing singulars
   The singular of criteria is criterion, there is no such thing as "a criteria" or, for that matter, "a phenomena".
4. All abusers of the apostrophe eg "your an imbecile"
5. Everone with silly prejudices.

Does that leave anybody?
