You know, there really SHOULD be an FAQ explaining stuff like that. Why don't we have one of those, anyway?

You are wise, witty, and wonderful, but you spend far too much time reading this sort of trash.

Of course, if you don't like the yellow smileys, you can always not omit the nose... :-)

BTW, just for the record, a '(' or ')' is a "parenthesis". The plural is "parentheses".

Actually, the correct word for ")"'s is brackets. "}"'s are curly brackets, and "]"'s are square brackets. And "!"'s are exclamation MARKS. And "." are full stop's. Need any more help? :-P

A tosser is someone who likes to throw things, often against walls. Why does no-one understand that?

Okay UM, I'm not sure what's more worrying. Whether you're joking (in which case an American has FINALLY learnt sarcasm), or whether you're not joking.

(Actually, I've got an idea that you might be Canadian. But since you say you live in Autobot City, which is only a short way from Mount St. Hilary, then you have to be a yank.)

Terminology for normal people:

( ) = parentheses
[ ] = (square) brackets
{ } = braces or curly brackets (though some redundant souls like the call them "curly braces")
< > = angle brackets or less-than/greater-than signs
! = exclamation point

*Deeply hurt* So it was the warm weather and nothing to do with me?

.......

The weather is really nice, hopefully it continues until at least about a month after my final exam which is probably about the time I'll have finished my end of finals festivities and exhausted all reasonable avenues of financing my further stay in Bristol, which is probably when I'll get my dad to pick me up.
