Discussion Groups / English Usage / September 2010I am mentally challenged.
Care to let me explain why just intonation is more powerful than equal temperament? I can do it. It might take me a while, especially if I want to get my writing level down to grade eight. How about a game of chess? It is not that I am Bobby Fisher. It is just that I do not make a typical opening. You can beat sense into a dog with a folded newspaper. That might hav a bearing on why cats own me. Who says cat training is hard? Mine had me trained in two days, well, more like two years if you count gently persuading me that my cats are almost strictly carnivores, even if some of them like popcorn. Cats are not cheap. If fish stocks are down, cats hav more bearing on it than most people, except perhaps, Japanese people. Deterministic chaos? I am into it. Okay, so who is the retard that likes weak and foggy terms like genetically modified organism instead of artificial mutant? Whoever you are, define euphemism. _______ http://ecn.ab.ca/~brewhaha/ BrewJay's Babble Bin >Care to let me explain why just intonation is more powerful than equal >temperament? I can do it.

I've heard from R.J.Valentine: he remains chirpy, though he was in (the) hospital a bit over a year ago --at the head of the Chesapeake Bay ("Largest Estuary in America"). They managed to acquire his SSN, but not from him, and the discovery didn't prevent his recovery. SignatureMike. >> It took Bobby Fischer to beat Bobby Fischer. > > Good to see you, Armond: I hope all's well ... All is well, and I hope the same applies to you. I just returned to NJ after a sailing cruise to Newfoundland where I was immersed for the last 4 months in a virtual sea of new accents and linguistic twists. I found that when a Newfoundlander spoke directly to me I had no trouble understanding both the accent and the usage, but when listening to one local person speak to another that was not always the case. For example Newfoundlanders routinely drop the "H" in a word starting with "H" but add an "H" before most words starting with a vowel. Have others here experienced this? Of course I asked whether they had ever seen the old TV show "Hozzie and Arriet."

I was just thinking I should release this properly: http://ecn.ab.ca/~brewhaha/Biology/Artificial_Mutants.jpg 639kB, tabloid-size at 300dpi; Used space about 11 megapixels. -CC- You may not copyright it or otherwise occlude its availability. - - I do not care about being named in any distribution. - - I do not care about money for it. - - I do not care how you might make analogous work available. - - I do not care how you might change it, because is is a two word noun phrase against a blue and yellow yin and yang. Omitted between dashes are BY, NC, SA, and ND in that order. I could just say "public domain", and sometimes issues of informed consent arise, usually when work turns out to be valuable. |
