Just wondering how far off topic we can get before the roof caves in...

This thread has:
-- Complaint about a word not in the Apple dictionary.
-- French abbreviation lessons.
-- Said word confirmed in MacOS 9.1 Eudora dictionary.
-- A German perspective on the evolution (or not) of the French language.
-- Just a hint of Thai
-- mention of Samuel Coleridge in 1825
-- A quote from 1971 "Science" magazine.
-- "bling"
-- the word for 1/100th of a Euro
-- Winston Churchill
-- four-stroke engines
-- 1873 French dictionary quotes
-- Zee-bra and Lef-tenent
-- Macromedia Director 1995
-- Belgian word regulation
-- short "i", long "i"
-- World War II
-- one erroneous TAKE ME OFF YOUR LIST, possibly due to the above.
-- unknown number of successful TAKE ME OFF YOUR LIST requests.
-- gratitude for French help in 1788+ American Revolution
-- the merits of "=" vs "to"
-- keystroke counters
-- Macromedia Director 1995 (again)
-- "I don't care to have it explained to me"
-- keystroke counters, part II
-- Lingo and OSX prototypes
-- Let's use arrows instead of "="
-- "picayune", "Bingo" and GRAND solutions
-- keystroke counters, part III
-- burning compilers
-- why keystroke counting is worth all this explanation (it saves time!)
-- BASIC - "LET"
-- FORTRAN, 1960s
-- Calvin and Hobbes
-- why keystroke counting isn't worth all this explanation
-- troll-calling
-- "Dude."
-- "pointless polemics"
-- generating script with script.

to which I can only add:
  "GO SPURS GO !"
