Hmm. I wish I could say my misspelling was meant to be a bad joke, but
it's just a bad misspelling.

Now, that is good information, I'll try to practice some (speech that

Ah, there's a problem for me, I don't have the slightest clue as how to
write polish.

Isn't english the language that supposedly has more exceptions to its
rules, than it has rules?

it's not very difficult to have more exceptions than rules. let me show
you:

rule: plural is formed by adding -s or -es (for words ending in -s).

exceptions:

sheep - sheep
mouse - mice
ox - oxen
index - indices

i already have four exceptions, and i could come up with more. see how easy
it is? ;-)

Slackware doesn't have any quirks. Other distros have quirks. Slackware's
just pure Linux.

Can you please explain to us why it was necessary to use pgp
verification with this post?

cordially, as always,

Yes, but, as a general rule, the rules themselves aren't complex
(ignoring a few exceptions...).

Toronto to Ottawa with only four cases of Molson and no toque, hoser!

(Remember that Canadian beer is like 8-9% alcohol, unlike wimpy American
''beers'', hosers. I'm sure rm can tell us exact amounts in between
delusional bouts of drunken trolling. Now, if you want some stronger
stuff, our homebrew cider is probably about 8-9% alcohol. I know
because, on opening, I thought it tasted okay, but kinda bland, but at
the end of the bottle I thought it was really wonderful cider.)

Take off!

PS Apologies to all Canadian non-trolls for the gross misrepresentation
of your people. I love Canada, except for the four-hour days in winter.
