Deimos Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Christine, the blueifying of the link is almost certainly being one by your e-mail program. It will recognise certain sequences of characters (e.g. starts with http://) and this handles the text as a link. Its something that quite a few applications do these days.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tag Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Oh dear, oh dear Miki, I am registered blind but keep trying to communicate with you lucky sighted people. However, just a point or two before I do something else: firstly, the use of 'arguably' (as I keep telling my students) suggests that the writer or speaker knows that the point is contentious but is offering a personal opinion based on the available evidence, accepting (not excepting) other possibilities. It implies a willingness to accept alternatives. As to 'guess', I think modern parlance simply has it meaning ' think' or 'thought', but you may find this meaning too American, therefore, 'guess' would mean something much less than 'hypothesis' or evidence.I still say that this thread is of little value because the content is of interest to very few people and because much of it consists of negotiation between users rather than solid debate.A very short time ago the administrators would have pulled it I suspect.Perhaps to make amends you would like to use the insomniac hours to contribute to the topic I have opened up.We still have nightly fosts in Belgium. And you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 "We still have nightly fosts in Belgium. And you?"That's FOSTERS dear, I can't spell the Belgian ones but I know my Austrailian beers! Now no getting all XXXX on me[:O] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tag Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Thank Frith the Belgians dont drink that muck. I meant 'frosts'. Plenty of good beer to choose from though. And good Belgian cheese to go with it. No XXXXs for you Twinkle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(tag)No tag, they hardly ever pull a whole thread. The fact that so many different people have taken part should tell you something. This forum is many things to many different users. Amazingly tonight I was able to identify some mad sparkly beetle that a member wanted the full name of. Now here I am saying this forum is NOT just about solid debate.
