any language that spells phonetic with a 'ph' deserves to mis-spelt everywhere else!

I have always taken the trouble to spelt it correctly.

How do you render phonemes in Greek roots on the planet where you live?

You can no more be an "ex-English major" than you can be an "ex-Marine" (unless, of course, you are retired from service to Her Majesty, but even then, you are still referred to as "Major").

Yeah, I thought about that. Still, I wanted to convey the distinction between being in college and having actually graduated (with a 2.001).

I've posted this to let people know the current state of play on beta testing...

We currently have 20 people testing the product with another 20+ on the waiting list. My experience is that there is a constant turnover of testers (we've already lost two and inducted their replacements) so that everyone reading this in April 2006 has a chance the role if they stay glued to the Forum and continue to say nice things about Steve. That's an expectation... its not a promise. Having said that I have identified two release points where we will need a new group of 5+ testers so I feel confident about what I said. However don't expect the lists to reopen until sometime in the second half of the year.


In the meantime, we will keep you informed to the best of our ability consistent with the Non-Disclosure Agreements we have signed with Matrix.

Hmm fat chance then!

Not really...

If I didn't think we'd be needing extra MWiF testers later this year then I'd tell you that so you could swear and curse at me now but we'd all be friends later. I'm just trying to be honest here and set people's expectations accordingly.

Touche! There are ex-english majors and ex-English majors. Ambush thwarted.

I too always take the time to spell correctly to the best of my ability. In fact, I'm often in arguement with younger users of other forums I frequent over the lack of use of punctuation, the lack of correct spelling and the use of 'SMS' terms.

I was joking about the 'ph' in phonetic. I just find it an amusing twist of the English language that it is the way it is.

That would be argument, of course. [:D]

Dishpan hands maybe [;)]

Anything new with the beta testing ? Squashing more bugs ? Finding new features to add ? Or just having fun [;)]

Work is proceeding on the testing. Unfortunately the Non-Disclosure agreement prevents testers from talking about the really juicy stuff except for the [DELETED]and the [DELETED] plus we can also make broad hints about how the [DELETED] does [DELETED] to the [DELETED] with a [DELETED] but under no circumstances can we tell you about Adolf Hitler and the watermelon.

I know this story, but I still don't understand how the watermelon wins!
