Can't put two "C"s together to go CCW instead of CW? I know y'all adopted the metric system so y'all would not have to think as hard but gee-whiz!
I think the roundabout is evidence of the cart before the horse.
Commonly, but incorrectly, known as metric. You can buy a metre of silk. You can't buy a metre of milk. The units are SI.Can't put two "C"s together to go CCW instead of CW? I know y'all adopted the metric system so y'all would not have to think as hard but gee-whiz!

I prefer these words spelled with the vowels and consonants in the order you say them.
You don't say "centray" and "metray", you say "center" and "meter".

You still sound them out in the order in which they occur.Then explain how Arkansas is "ark an saw".
It is just the pronunciation of some of the letters in Arkansas that seems non-standard to you.
How about Sriracha, the spiced sauce, in which the first R is silent? That comes from the original (Thai) spelling, transliteration and pronunciation.
BTW, what bothers me most is that Kansas and Arkansas come from the same Amerindian root, but are pronounced differently.
And of course in the UK you have Featherstonhaugh.
:lol:
Yes, we do have some odd pronunciations on both sisdes of the pond.
I was responding to post #107.
Anyway, we can laff about it.

How did you apply that strike-through effect?

I went to https://www.piliapp.com/generator/strikethrough-text/ to generate the text (using, I believe, HTML escaped character sequences or maybe character entity codes or even Unicode) and pasted what it generated into the text entry window.
There is no tool in the Forum software to apply that effect (the ones that you can apply make use of [] formatting tags).
Instead the raw characters contained the strikethrough.
Someday I may fire up my HTML debugging tools and see what it actually did....
I was not optimistic in advance that it would work, but I seem to have lucked out.
