I'm too stupid to really learn TA. That's the one item on the list I would have to take issue with. IMO anybody who refuses to learn TA is showing their superior intelligence.

Ah, glossing over the serious defects, are we .... ya know Bob, as would behoove a longterm survivor of this mesh-mash we call the net, i have a pretty thick skin and most things don't bother me ... you wanna run your nails hard down the blackboard, that's fine, say snotty things about Found On Road Deads, even the Dead themselves [and i see that to your credit you do steer clear of attempting to deny that Ripple was a song and a half], that's ok ... even run a Case 'backhoe' and pretend it to be a member in good standing of the industrial equipment world, that's all right, who cares really ... but there are some things up with which i cannot put - There is no letter A in the word cojones. None, no letter A at all ... closest you get to an A is the letter C, well this is assuming you started at the front of the diccionario ... actually, from the other end also, there just ain't no letter A, eh ... here, let us consult the eminent Google - cherio.galeon.com Do you there see an A in the word cojones? ... no you do not, not until you get to its derivatives acojonado, descojonado, cojonazos, etc ...... clearly this cannot be overstressed, though the word is used mainly only by chicanos and thothe lithping cathtilianth [the mejicano straight and true uses the pure simple 'huevos', fwiw] .... but notice here how we return so deftly to the theme of purple prose - [violeta = morado = 'purple' in english] - 'Es distinto el color, la forma, la simple tersura o el tamaño. El color violeta expresa el frío (se me quedaron los cojones morados) ... ' .. ['the colour violet expresses cold (... left my huevos purple)'] [freely, close to the brass monkey expression] But no letter A .... none ... it's that simple, Bob, face it
