The quality and ever-increasingly frequency of my posts leads me to suspect that I communicate in a similar way Posted by: fredrik at November 6, 2003 08:16 AMAs to the implications of this research, don't ass me, but the adjectival "herring-like" may well become a popular, if somewhat obscure, bit of invective in the blogosphere. that's fredrik. no C. i think the term "herring-like" would be better termed "norwegian" Posted by: fredrik at November 6, 2003 09:36 AMFredrik, your subsequently revised comment has rendered my devastating retort superfluous. Lucky you, as I'll reserve the followup about speech impaired herrings for another thread. Posted by: martin at November 6, 2003 11:04 AMKaty, aside from the fact that acronyms are generally capitalized, the "g" certainly should be. Martin, I believe the phrase you want is "herring-impaired". |
