Re: Dr. Shades's spelling and/or grammar lesson of the day
I'm not even talking about someone else's so-called "filthy language." I'm complaining about the general policy of changing words or acronyms to be what any given board administrator thinks they should be. Readability = user-friendliness. Someone else changing what is actually said with the excuse ...

Re: Dr. Shades's spelling and/or grammar lesson of the day

Re: Trump in killing mood ...
Hmm, you all have convinced me 99% of the way.
