I was just certain that Raffles was going to point out that the Latin root of semester means "six months," so the concept of a "spring semester" is fundamentally flawed, because spring doesn't last for six months no matter where you live.* Although I'm somewhat disappointed, I recognize that this is prescriptivism taken to an unrealistic extreme, so perhaps I should hold Raffles in higher regard for not doing such a thing, regardles of how tempted she may have been.* :bleh:

Or, you just saved me the trouble of saying that no one cares.
Not to be offensive, it's just that everyone except those insanely picky scholars don't care at all.

The only thing they care about is that they call other people dumb online for misspelling a word, then misspelling "misspell".
Sorry to be getting this even further off-topic, but really, Piggy, but what exactly was the point of that comment? FPJ is certainly not an insanely picky scholar, as you seem to be implying. He just happens to care about spelling and grammar, and there's nothing wrong about that. If you ask me, more people ought to be picky about the sort of English they write, really... [/b][/quote]
If you ask me I was being sarcastic and silly, but it seems that for the past two months you haven't realized my more "outlandish" behavoir, disregard any comments you see as not up to your standard.
And my post really didn't have less of a point than FPJ's, so there's no reason to be hypocritical and chastise me for making off topic posts while you yourself were doing the same previously.

In other regards, take what I say more lightly, and don't take it into consideration too much, or you'll be overdoing it, as most people seem to do in certain cases. And as for the spelling and grammar thing, there's really no need for over extensive accuracy in a online board simply existant for discussion between individualy beings, as it was being discussed before, it's purpose was undeniably needed because the discussion about "semesters" was in progress.

In a more on topic side - I'm too nit-picky about giving my address out, and what would my parents think if I get a post card from some place off in Norway or England?
