Toonbots message board: Sorry for the laggardliness lately.

Michael Wed Nov 28 15:08:13 2001 Regretting recent ritardo Don't practice your alliteration on me!

Brother Emsworth Wed Nov 28 15:34:16 2001 Apology amiably accepted Pardon, but you did provide the cue. I was tempted to post something about your apparently deliberate use of "burieder," anyway. Of course, neologism is not uncommon on these boards, and I suppose a certain amount of meta-linguistics tends to be involved. I also know that I've made far too many typos and so forth in my time, but this one bothered me slightly (and also reminded me somehow of certain high school acquaintances who for some reason insisted on using "stealer" instead of "thief.") Even "buriedly" would have bothered me less (and also strikes me as more amusing.)

Michael Wed Nov 28 16:34:46 2001 Overtly ominous oratory > I was tempted to post something about your apparently deliberate use of > "burieder," anyway. HA! You would have regretted it, sir. In fact, that would have been the regrettedest thing you did today. > I also know that I've made far too many typos and so forth in > my time, but this one bothered me slightly 'Tweren't no typo -- it wuz done with full deliberation. > Even > "buriedly" would have bothered me less (and also strikes me as > more amusing.) You mean, "amusinger."
