    Default Apologies in advance

    For any grammatical errors I may make over the next week, as I have a splint on my thu b due to a foot ball (american) injusry. I might be able to take it off by monday, hopefully.

    No forgiveness! Perfect grammar, spelling and punctuation will be the MINIMUM requirement if you want to be in the Super Special Adventure Club.

    Mistakes are like footprints in the freshly fallen snow, an obvious flaw of the perfect, but necessary in order to find one's way! :)

    Should the self-assured feel shame or regret due to the opinion the insecure? Is self-assuredness even possible? Is the insecure insecure in his eyes or in the eyes of another?

    Oh please. I spent around three years on these forums using bad grammar and no one said a thing. Until a month ago.

    MS Office actually began on the Macintosh long before there was such a thing as Windows. In fact, MS Office for Mac was Microsoft's main cash cow along with DOS at the beginning of the company. Funny how history plays out.

    Meanwhile, I urge everybody who has a choice to move over to .ODT format, away from .DOC. Unlike .DOC, .ODT is open-standard, which means they can never alter it on you and declare that you need the latest version to open your own damn documents. I loves me some Microsoft, but I have had it with them jerking around the Office doc formats.

    I dunno, maybe some people don't have to go through what I did. Life sucks, bro, but you gotta roll with it.

    If it was a paying job that was for more than two hours a day then I would have thought twice about quitting. I figured, "Im scheduled to leave in two weeks, Why put up with this ?"
    Trust me man, I go through a lot, especially with my stuttering, so dont lecture me about hardships until you stutter so badly that you cant even say your own ing name.

    Fine, everyone has their own personal story, but dont say one has not suffered if you dont really know him.

    They did a brand-new standard. They also released a plug-in so old Office users could read .docx documents too.
