Does any of them include or plan to include foreign letters?
It is possible that English alphabet will include letters that are not included in the today alphabet, in the same way English passed from the alphabet used in Old English to the nowadays alphabet.
I cannot say it is planned, as En...
Whenever I reply to his comments, I end up not knowing how to reply to his replies to my replies.
Sometimes I feel like I'm just feeding a mythical creature.
Geez, my wife left open all her Skypes and Lastfms, and they just won't die, preferring to collectively be killing my Chrome, myself, each other and everything. Have to reboot. Brb.
For the record, flags are completely anonymous. And no, I don't know who flagged any of Robusto's messages. And the automatic 30-minute chat suspension for each such deletion cannot be manually undone (I've tried before).
My wife is now watching the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird"
I did not join her because she watches with voices in Russian and I saw it already in original before.
Though I recall I did not understand:
who was a mockingbird linked to the word "kill" in the title?

Thanks for the ans...
@Martha that's funny, I was saying the other day that if there were only the four candidates right before elections started and nominations closed I was gonna withdraw, but that if anyone else nom'd then I was gonna stay. And then Martha nom'd
Hi
I recently graduated and got a job in a good company. I did some research under my professor and I want to write a thank you letter to him. Can some one help me how to write the letter. An example letter is very much appreciated.
This was a reply on my moderator nomination section:
> @Kosmonaut, as follow-up to closed by you and deleted by don't-know-whom my question "Who was a mockingbird" + other my questions, you seems to have participated in most of all my closed questions: as a linguist do you know the term for the systems governed by the rules without any exceptions and/or by the absence of any logic? and of persons who serve as devoted governors to such principles?
No, we don't support this. We look for great moderators wherever in the world they come from; enforcing time zone restrictions would be too limiting.
Most elections in practice produce at least US and europe, which is adequate coverage.

@FX_ That's hard on a site where there's an average of what, two or three answers per question? It takes a lot of answers to even have a chance. Nicely done indeed!
Well, maybe there is some partiality there... I tend to upvote answers from users with 100-300 rep, because I think it gets them involved in the community
Though no, rubbish, disregard that. When we were in beta, I actively went through the user list and checked if there were people whom I could push over 200
Does anyone find it interesting that there is no stigma attached to the use of the words "blind" and "deaf" as negative terms? I can't remember if I've brought this up before.
@FX_ ", I still remember how hard it was to gain my first 125 points. It took me two weeks. Maybe SO is a different beast nowadays, I dunno, haven't participated in a long time. But I still find it quite hard to get to 125 points on any new site of the network (even the +100 bonus doesn't really help). Once you figure out how a community ticks, it's all smooth sailing; but until then, it's an uphill battle"
I sometimes find a question has like 50000 views and later I find most of those were reddit users that got in rage or glee about something of it.
Yesterday there was an answer of a page-one user that upset reddit folks, and within minutes that post were downvoted to -70. It looks like reddit ha...
I remember feeling quite ashamed when I told a blind math examiner that it was "puncturing that eye..." (literal translation of French idiom "crève les yeux", meaning "it's crystal clear")
@RegDwight: on SO, it's hard if you “compete” in areas where there is little traffic; there, you might feel you will never have a fighting chance to have reasonable rep increase
My college-age son and his friends use the terms "retarded" and "gay" pretty much interchangeably to mean substandard, bad, lame (in the sense of ineffectual or weak) or just plain wrong. I've suggested that he might want to be careful about where he uses such language, but he clearly isn't worri...
If I say something is "retarded", many people won't really care, but certainly some people will say "please don't use that word", and I would never use it in any formal context.
Imagine if I said "it fell on deaf ears" and someone said "please don't use that word"
@Kosmonaut — There is a cascade of euphemism that shimmers over certain concepts. Almost as soon as one euphemism is created it becomes code for the next offensive use of the term.
[still reading backwards] @FX_, re: sportsmanship badge, dammit, I wanted to be the first person to get that. Still not there, and I'm not sure how to figure out how close (or far) I am.
@Kosmonaut — Probably it has to do with all the classical literature references. I don't think there are any uses of "retarded" or "gay" in the King James Bible, for example, but plenty of blind and deaf references.
