Nice review.  But I'm curious, what is your native tongue or what language
(except for language which spells words through sound associations) has the
word "laffs" in its dictionary?

Or is it the uncommon feeling of stricking a key twice on the keyboard, in
rapid succession, that attracts you?

> "laffs"

That was Uwe's laff, I believe, not the eloquent reviewer's.

Anyway, I can't speak for Uwe, but in the UK there are two ways to
pronounce laugh. "Larf" is the nancy-boy, southern way of doing it.
"Laff" is the proper way of pronouncing it, as all sensible northerners
know. So while neither spelling's in the dictionary, it's a very
important distinction to make, and therefore worth spelling out clearly
for fear of being mistaken for a southern lowlife type.

Andrew McP... on behalf of the RAS pronunciation unit, northern unit.

Andrew once again has it spot-on ;-) Anyway, "just for laughs" might
have been better for the international crowd here.

cheers, uwe

How do you strick a keyboard? Stricking is not in the dictionary either.
Perhaps you mean striking? See how easy being an ***spelling bee is?

There is a difference between a typo (my spell-checker missed it) and what
the initial poster did-- using "laff" instead of "laugh".  His was done on
purpose, and mine was an accident.

To give a four-word, generalized review of a demo preceded by some twelve
year-old ***spelling, was too much for me.  I would've over-looked the
laziness of the "laff" if the short review had not followed.

So though I should be more careful when looking for mistakes in language and
spelling and I thank you for pointing out my error, my mistake was
accidental while our expert reviewer's was not.

Thank you very much.  Your kind words are a reflection of self.

You give us a four-word, meaningless review, swear, and then have the
presence of mind to call someone such kind names.

Maybe once you get out of high school, you can become something big.

BS, it wasn't an accident. You just didn't know how to spell striking.
Putting a "c" before the "k" is no accident.

Okay.  Whatever you say.  I would think that I know how to spell a word that
is quite elementary.  You're only fooling yourself or wishing things were
other than they are if you think differently.

And the last book you read was-- _The Hoties of the Nascar Circuit: In
Living Color_  :)
