Fluency does not coherency entail.

I write in British English -- which makes for slightly surreal sentences when I have to write technical mails that use literals derived from American English.

For me, a TrueColor visual in X11R6 has true colours.

Yours are showing.

Look around, my friend. Think about where you are posting.

Or betterer.
Don't.

True. Ignorance is bliss.

I'm with 6 on this one. I generally use British spellings out of habit. The American variants usually look wrong to me.

Most of them date to the 19th Century and prevailing impulses toward rationalism. Noah Webster and some other lexicographers took it upon themselves to 'improve' the English language for a new continent. Pretty silly if you ask me.

I spent about a month corresponding with a Brit fairly regularly. After a week, I found myself adding extraneous U's, exchanging Z's for S's, and referring to women as "birds."

Adding extra letters ...... Sounds kinda like Spuck ....

DG

You mean, exchanging Zed's for S's.

Yez.

I think JBM has been reading too many of Zixer'z postz.

Oy Snap!

Or Znap.

Some commercial brands are kind of tasty, some end up serving other purposes...

Perfect for power outages.

Just be carefull which brand you use, you don't want toxic fumes from the fire.

Is this supposed to be a lamp or a molotov cocktail ?

Wouldn't work as a molotov cocktail. At least not without some redesign of the upper part.

An oil lamp (which works in essentially the same way) is not that good a Molotov cocktail (it takes too much to knock one over in exactly the right way).

Mhhh...essential oil¹ lamp?

¹In this case (Montana 68), probably essence of lemon pledge.

But, 1nce you drink it, you do want to
throw it against a wall.

... or yourself.
