#64 for happiest citizens...not bad, but could be better. I'll teach them to be happy. I'll teach their grandmothers to suck eggs...

I didn't know you could judge happiness!

It's hard to discern happiness from intoxication.

Booze is admittedly one of the better bribes.

I hope you seek players with grammar skills as well.

I've always said regions should have a 'minister of grammar', but they never listen. Oh well *shrugs*

Living languages are constantly changing. To set up such an authoirty would make the language static, and eventually split into "literary" and "common" languages. Kind of Latin, Classical vs. Vulgar, and we know which one carried the day.

Besides, wouldn't we have to have an official language first?

I am more frustrated by the things spellcheck will not correct. For example, you are typing too quickly and your brain thinks one word while your fingers create another - and both words are spelled correctly.

"Bronze is an allow of ton and copper." [2 word errors that will not be caught by spellcheck]

And I have wondered for a long time why some typing transpositions occur with such regularity. I have a friend who cannot type "to"; it come out as "ot" almost all the time.

I myself am a psychotic grammar nazi. This just makes it more noticeable whenever I make a mistake or two (or twenty), so I eased up a bit.

Living languages aren't evolving as fast as it was in the past, sadly. But then again, it could be a good thing.

He who lives by spellcheck will die bay spellcheck. Which reminds me...

Teach your children well,
Teach them to spell,
And use good grammar.

Sorry CSN&Y.

. . . Are you announcing where you're from, or are you just really bad at recruiting?

Bad recruiting.

Though somehow still better than most adspam :P

At least it was extremely brief. Much like OBI's of old.

That's true. Still, recruitment spam is bad spam. Bleh, my tax burden is very high :P
