Today, I heard that Bono (the lead singer of U2) went into the whitehouse and talked with George Bush for a bit and walked out with a check (I spell it like that, get over it :devious2: ) for $10mil!! It turns out he was gathering money for third world country development and for starving children in those countries.

I also received an email about a program called SpyAgent, which lets you "spy on people using your computer". Right.....I'm sure you're the only one spying....
There was another one entitled "Mandy, I caught him cheating on me again!" Out of curiousity, I opened it and it was spam for that Baywatch show. :nervous:

You are right frozen. That one extra letter is hard to time.

And what Bono really wants is for developed countries to forgive third world countries debt, so they can develop too.

Its not just debt that holds up their development.

True, but it's one less problem for those countries to deal with.

And I speak Canadian-English, eh?

Really? I can't understand how they perfected it. Maybe they editted to suit them more? I think thats a good way of looking at it. However, we made the language. We own copyright and it shouldn't be editted. :D j/k

Imagine if you could copyright the word "the" and revieve royalties every time someone said it.

Imagine if someone patented the Smilie face and they received royalties for every time it was used. They'd be rich off of this forum alone. :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

blah blah blah However, we made the language blah blah blah The Indo-Europeans made the root language and-- wait a minute, did you get their permission before you based your language off theirs? Woah, I think you've got a lawsuit on your hands, buddy. You're gonna need some high-priced lawyers for this one. :D

Tom, itn't that signature of yours a bit over four lines? :)

All languages borrow words from others.
