Learning "MicroSpeak" ain't a big problem anymore Jeff. I understand it's going to be the national language of the USA within a few weeks. Shortly after that it'll be the universal language world-wide.... Sounds REEEEEEL neat, huh? NOT!!

For example, one headline read, "MSN Doubles E-Mail Capoacity." In the text it stated, "Continuing to make the service more useful, MSN, the Microsoft Network, is doubling its number of e-mail servers." If you read this real slow, "more useful" is MicroSpeak for "it hasn't been working and might." It couldn't, of course, be a bug because another quote speaks to the "complex nature of the word bug" as being wrong whereas "known issue" satisfies the MicroSpeak requirements. We also like "design side effect" and "undocumented behavior" at Microsoft. And so it goes in the exciting world according to MicroSpeak. Jeff Jones [log in to unmask]
