What is that? I collect differences between American and English.

method of accessing usenet. GG subscribers would be well advised get a
newsreader, say Agent, and a newsserver, say news.individual.net. These
will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies.

Not necessarily in non-rhotic British English. ;-) The accent is, of

It depends what you think the 'A' stands for. Me, myself, personally, I
would substitute 'H' (for 'head') anyway, as it has presented me with an
irresistible mental image ever since I heard the riddle "What goes 'Ha,
ha, thud'?" as a child.
