Don't forget to consider "Daimler Chrysler", where the Chrysler
is always silent.

"Jag-u-ler" - just like Winnie-the-Pooh says it.

But Daimlers are British cars - the luxury versions of Jaguars up until very
recently and a British marque in their own right up until the '60's.

If the correct way to pronounce words is the way the country of origin
pronounce it, all Americans speak their language incorrectly! ;-)

This has been answered more than adequately already, so I'll leave it at a
quick 'no'.

One thing I will add that I love about the bat. All you have to do is back
up the directory that the bat installs itself in. If you hose your system
or you have to reinstall, all you have to do is copy The Bat's directory
back over to the new system and run the bat again. And it's very small
for a full featured email program. I'd still be using it if they had a
linux version.

This has nothing at all to do with your email client, as you say. So I'm
a little confused by your question.

 

I'll be darned, you are correct. Mistook of having moved to
Nice as being in Nice.

All of the right-speaking English left England for America in the

I think "Jeepers" and "Jeepers Creepers" fall into the category of
publicly acceptable expletives. Expletives are not any other part of
speech and don't require normal sentence structure (they are stand-alone
words or phrases) or punctuation, other than possibly an exclamation
point.

(I don't recall when I've ever seen a more fun and at the same time
otherwise completely useless thread ever.) 8^)

Am on attbi, which has just been moved to comcast.net, but
the posting still shows as attbi. There appear to be a
few "stability issues" still remaining, and these are not
helped by my somewhat impatient mannerisms, where I click
the blankety blank wrong blankety blank button all too
often.

 

I'll be darned I didn't know he moved to Nice !
I knew he raced there, but didn't realise he moved there.
