Yes, Iraq's a bit of a bummer, yes the media bombarding us with fear-mongering articles about terrorists on camels is brain-rapingly painful and yes, witnessing the most powerful man in the world unable to pronounce "nuclear" is like having yo off my shoulders.
Now I'm off to the pub to weep.
I suppose your the one who's putting notes in MP3 player boxes and replacing them then returning them to the store. Phones are just fine. Just cause you can't get reception cause your in the sewers of holland. Doesn't mean you need to go saying stuff about cellular phone which you can't even use.

You know? In the near four years I've been on this forum, you're the first person to come up with "Sewers of Holland"?

You're so witty you make me stu..stu...stutter.

However, your use of English certainly is of the mobile-phone generation.

I completely agree that we are in the process of destroying a beautiful language. Everything now seems to be reduced to just the first letter of each word. Can you imagine the following:

[WORD TOO LONG]

You don't know what that is? It's one of the most beautiful and concise utterances in English. Still don't recognize it? Come on now. Surely you recognize Lincoln's Gettysburg Address!
Is this where we are taking the language?

they cut my post. Of course it was Lincoln's Gettysburg Address using only the first letter of each of the 268 words.

Sorry to be a bit late with this, Shav, but I was briefly speechless upon finding that I totally agree with you here. Bravo for a great post and please accept the first and probably only rec I will ever give.

Note to Huck. See, there are occasional good threads.

Heres my point. Why are we not talking to each other about this? TMing and IMing are just the same thing as posting. (The fact that your not talking to eachother personally.) Now, civilization is still alive, but in some ways I agree with you. But you're still overreacting. Its not like you can stop anything. And ya know its pretty poor to complain about cell phones in a fourm. (Much less morining Breath. 😛 ) So, tough. And get out of those sewers so you can save civilization. You're making some real headway staying there.
