Our soapbox...
on Saturday, March, 29, 2003 6:55 PM
Put things you wish people would get straight.

It's not CRAYfish, it's CRAWfish. For pete's sake folks, the word came from "crawling fish." Where the heck did "cray" come from? They've nothing to do with crayons!

Your turn.

How do you pronounce fimo?

is it a) Fi-mo

b) Fee-mo

It's just we were having this discussion at school about what it is.
Rincewind thought about this and then, with an air of finality, started to take off his last sock.
"No half-bricks," he said to no-one in particular. "Have to use sand?"
"You're going to attack them with a sockful of sand?"
"No, I'm going to run away from them. The sockful of sand is for when they follow.

I've never understood why people call it CRAYfish.

Oh, that's okay. Have fun. Just don't *quickly zapping disk with graceful saber stroke* hit me in the process.

*taking turn on soapbox*

I can't stand when folks say "irregardless". Either say, "disregarding" or "regardless". "Irregardless" is a double-negative in it's ugliest incarnation.
