(I’m not sure how to select a forum for my OP so I’m assuming it’s done by the Staff but if I’m wrong, fellas, please let me know how it’s done)

Every so often one of the former vices turns out to be good for you after all, at least in moderation. So far I have identified seven such categcories:

1. ---

It’s fascinating to note in this connection how we as a country are so hung up on ---, even to some facets of computer software. Mac’s well-established gratis habit of correcting one’s spelling without even flagging the word apparently extends to the “morality" of a word. When I typed “---” above the first time , Mac replaced it with three hyphens: ”---” as if I were about to reveal something dirty

Or does it have something to do with another meaning of the word in Ghanian

Psychological aspects of the issue:

2. Coffee

Te deus; fiat lux, I’d sure miss my morning libation. God suerely invented coffee

3.Chocolate

In all its forms?

4. Inflation

I’ve always found it remarkable that—especially in a recession as now—that signs of a decreasing inflation rate are considered portentous

5. Alcohol

There is a God. Anyone wishing to discuss exotic imported brews, I am [email protected]

6. Eggs

It’s done by the alteration of chickenfeed formula
Honestly, no kidding

7. Candy, sugar, sweets

Oh thank you Science, God, the Media for bringing it all forth

8. Sodomy

Can Anyone contribute to above list

Edited to note with amusement how the massive incompetence of computer programmers in the field of editing is so forcefully demonstrated in this thread. Okay so “---” is a dirty word in Ghanian. Note however that the presence of quotes prevents it from being replaced

http://www.ghanavillage.com/showthre...-peculiarities

Edited once more to note that Mac is so confused about “---” that he replaces it in one place but not the other, then corrects his apparent mistake after submission. Computer programmers are the most confused lot in the entire Universe

Yet “sexx” is ok as in the first link above

But this is OT isn’t it

Getting back to usedtabe good…..

@Setanta,

Thank you Set. If I understand you correctly then, I can place the same post in more than one forum

Wonderful

There hasn’t. From one of the Admin’s earlier posts I gathered that the facility was once active but it went out of commission and that you’re working on restoring it. Otherwise in some two decades of participating in Web activity I have never encountered a forum without email notification

But if that’s the way it must be I concede

Just trying to be helpful

Forgive me

I mean no harm
