While We Wait: Writer's Block & Other Lame Excuses

[JohannaK]

Remember when I said CFC looked normal on my Chrome? Well, not any more.

 

[erez87]

Yeah the letters are all weird.

 

[Daftpanzer]

I'm guessing that google stagger the Chrome updates or do different regions at different times?? Also I gather its a real pain in the behind to disable auto-update or revert to an old version.

A co-worker was complaining a couple of weeks ago that fonts on certain pages had become harder to read.

 

[Defacto]

Yeah the letters are all weird.

Same Here. Maybe Google Chrome is forcing the font change? Or everything got smaller?

The internet is shrinking! Panic, PANIC!

The internet shrinks, next comes the universe in the great crunch!

 

[Ekolite]

So who can recommend me a NES to join?

 

[North King]

An NES, we aren't a Nintendo character. >=(

 

[Ekolite]

Really because to me that sounds strange. Normally you use "an" only if the word begins with a vowel sound.

 

[JohannaK]

Yeah, sounds odd. Daftpanzer's NES is really excited, but I held myself from joining because there are already lots of people.

Also StockNES should update any moment now. Any moment.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Eko! You're back! There's mine, you might be interested in.

An en-ee-ess.

Yes, we are a Nintendo gaming system, not a character.

 

[Thlayli]

I maintain that it's 'a NES'. With the sound 'ness'.

 

[JohannaK]

I second Thlayli.

 

[North King]

I maintain that it's 'a NES'. With the sound 'ness'.

That's because you're a stupid. >=(

 

[thomas.berubeg]

I agree with Thlayli.

 

[Nuka-sama]

I maintain that it's 'a NES'. With the sound 'ness'.

I love your avatar!

 

[Luckymoose]

Since the term Never Ending Story does not apply to any, it is best to just convert it into Nes or nes, as a noun rather than acronym. Doing this would remove the need to use 'an' before it, and would change the pronunciation to ness.

 

[North King]

Might as well call it a smeerp then.
