Re^3: state is the root of evil?

Some smart alecks might claim that this expression is an linguistic impurity.

Fair enough. Though I might retort:

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. Not understood.

Impureté. He, he. In the sense of "trashing the mother tongue with foreign words." This accusation is a bad habit very common in Germany, even or especially in conservative so called "quality newspapers". You got a cat too (impuritĂŠ)? ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť	[reply]

BTW, see Plain English. "Fighting for crystal clear communication...". What an ambitious motto. Slightly modified it might be a real cool footer: "Fighting for crystal clear Perl programming...". See also this. A drink or two might help to overcome the Sauregurkenzeit. Regards, Karl ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť	[reply]
