maybe, I never get them, to old...but I try and figure it our regardless. my kids tried once and I needed a decoder to read it.

my last point being, to lighten up. try and learn them all. I have been bending wrenches for ever, and those little 'nyms' keep getting longer..

without them we would spend forever writing them out, most mechanics do not type,,,well

well, thats the funny thing with the written word, unless you know the author and/or have feel for what said author might have said, it is realy a subjective process.
What you have written must be read and interpeted, without being the great Kreskin one can only go off of what we read.
I am usually accused of being sarcastic,,,and mean...and as Dr Sydney said 'pull down your pants and slide on the ice' lighten up?

FUBAR = F'ed Up beyond all recognition

UBAR and WIN = The most awesome anything can possible be!
