| Subject: | Fund Raiser Behind By 25% - Please Contribute Today! |
Dear Listers,
The percentage of members making a Contribution to support the Lists this year
is currently behind last year by at this time by roughly 25%. We got off to a
slow start this year with the network DNS issues on the kickoff weekend, so please
take this opportunity to show your support for the Matronics Lists and Forums!
Please remember that it is *solely* your direct Contributions that keep these Lists
and Forums up and running and most importantly - AD FREE! If the members
don't want to support the Lists directly, then I might have to add advertisements
to offset the costs of running the Lists. But I don't want to have to do
that. I really like the non-commercial atmosphere here and I think that a lot
of the members appreciate that too.
Please take a moment to make a Contribution today in support of the continued ad-free
operation of all these Lists:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
Or, drop a personal check in the mail to:
Matt Dralle / Matronics
581 Jeannie Way
Livermore CA 94550
USA
I want to send out a word of appreciation to all of the members that have already
made their generous Contribution to support the Lists! Thank you!

do the folks on your side of the pond commonly say three times or
thrice?>>
Hi,
I was waiting for that.
No, thrice has fallen out of use many years ago but I have never said
`two times` in my life and certainly no one of my generation, or the
following one, has done so.Always `twice`. When we learned our tables it
was `Twice two are four` etc. (See Danny Kaye `Inchworm)
`Two times` I have noticed is creeping into use now though. Just one
more thing which raises my ire these days
I know that language changes but, like most things it is changing too
quickly for my taste.
For instance when I asked my grand daughter (aged 16 ) if she would like
to come to the theatre with me she answered. "No thanks, It doesn`t
tickle my cheeky"
What the hell does that mean?
Cheers
Pat

Hi Pat, I thought that you would be interested to know that your old
Kolb Xtra which was deregistered by the chap that bought it from you and
sold the engine, has now been bought by one of our club members and is
in the process of having a reconditioned Jabiru 2200 fitted to it, it
will be re-registered, permitted and flying again in a month or two,
excellent news that as it was such a nice looking aeroplane,
Cheers, John Codd, North Lincs in UK, Kolb Mk3 Xtra with Jabiru 2200,

Hi Russ,
The trouble is that your language is called `English` when it patently
is not.
If it was called `American` then we could treat it like any other
language spoken by foreigners.
I don`t know if you are aware of Flanders and Swann. A couple who wrote
and performed there own stuff. Just piano and two voices.
They wrote a piece called `A song of patriotic prejudice` with a chorus
of
The English the English The English are best
I wouldn`t give tuppence for all of the rest
The last stanza was
It is not that they`re wicked or naturally bad
Its just knowing they`re `foreign` that makes them so mad
They probably wouldn`t be allowed to sing it now in case it upset
someone's tender feelings.
Cheers
Pat

I'm nit-picking, but have been an editor & rewriter for years & this got
my attention --
you say
> performed there own stuff.
and it should be 'their'
But I still like you!

For instance when I asked my grand daughter (aged 16 ) if she would like to
come to the theatre with me she answered. "No thanks, It doesn`t tickle my
cheeky"
So, I am curious did you insult her as well?

I wouldn't call it 'creeping'. When I learned multiplication tables in
the American South early in the Cold War (late 1950's), it was always '2
times x equals y'; never heard it any other way. It boils down to
cultural differences. If you look at the setup routines for computer
software & operating systems, many will actually offer options for
'American English' and British English'.
I must say, though, that the American Southern way is actually more
consistent. How would you translate '13 times 7'?
