You may have to do 'copy ---paste' If you want John to summaryse the posts about YADB.
I mean the IN topic.

summaryse is correct? Need 2 m and a y? I like this word,it is a very musical one.
English is full of musical words..

Actually its "summarize". Yes english if full of musical words, unfortunately the general population chooses to use many of the less musical vulgarities to express themselves. My opinion, its either due to a lack of creativity or extremely limited vocabulary.

You might be surprised to know we also use "winterize", as in:

"I have to winterize the boat before it freezes."

Well, I guess we non-engligh-mother-tongue people don't get it any better, huh !?   But you can't imagine what dealing daily with english computer matters do to our French...

I do not have french on my computer.
In fact i never had a computer when in France.Started here.If i want any help or troubleshouting ,i need to have my computer in english.
And i do not know the french for computer.Long ago to set Opera was hard task just few months after having my first computer.I downloaded the help files in french and was even more lost.
Et quand je ne sais quel programe demande si je veux un racourci sur mon bureau pour shortcut on desktop,le francais est juste GROTESQUE.

Before this place i never posted on any forum.It is much  much more difficult than read and speak.
Many time i built sentences in a very strange way.I never do it when speaking.One day i may put my dictionary out of one of the few boxes still to be open.
In the main time you will have to do with double t or l or n in much of the words......

kind of off topic (even for an already off topic topic), but take a look at the poem "The Chaos"

In a different life, I taught english to spaniards, and I used this poem to torture the advanced class.

I started ,aloud.After a while you start to have the tongue heavy as a stone......
I have a friend Chicago born.Net time he comes i will read it to him and let you know if he survives.

But i want him to read it as well.Look like than ever for an english speaking it is a real chaos

Hi Jim;

I keep seeing "OT" on some threads;  what does it mean? ?

[JimH]

I think it's Latin for something.  Where's Harry the Hipster?
