if (i.is_After_C()) printf(“e”);

Last night I was watching the War History Channel and a really helpful commercial came on. It offered to tell me how to use the Internet to uh, make money and stuff. I think. Or maybe it would help me take a vacation. It all runs together.

I’m a little dubious about their credibility though. I mean, don’t get me wrong, who doesn’t want fast cars and fancy houses while working at home part time? And I’ve always needed a boat, especially the kind that doesn’t require oars and a lot of sweating to make it go.

The problem: If they don’t know to use the spell checker on the ad they are spending thousands of dollars to put on TV they may not actually know how to use the Internet to uh, make money and stuff.

About Grant

I grew up on the mean cul-du-sacs of Troy, Ohio, USA. I first started "programming" at the age of five on an Atari 400 when I used BASIC to draw an ASCII picture of robot with wheels on his feet. Why the emphasis on feet with wheels? At the time it was a big deal, I didn't have wheels on my feet which forced me to walk everywhere. I would have been so much cooler to just skate around. Since then I've gone on to work on all manners of different technologies, but rest assured if I ever write another robot program he won't just be walking around. Perhaps some tank treads...

    You just doesn’t get it, doesn’t you not!?! The world widely Web is desginated to assisted even us who isn’t completely undertandable of all the English language. We also are targeting our business focus on the worldly peoples of the world around us – and they aren’t as worldly knowledgeable of the english speaking and writing either as we are not always either.
    So interactively training such as the commerical you are not understanding is much understanding by those of us that are like what I have been saying about.
    Very soon we will be all over the World Web with the help of these very helpful people.

    To quote my 2nd grade English teacher, Mrs. Reed:

    “Repeat after me, i before e except after c”
