I use Sparknotes because I'm lazy, and I have a really hard time reading anything that's in a poetic format for some reason. Reading the translation of Dante's Inferno is pretty boring, but I read the Sparknotes and actually couldn't put them down. |

Doritokiller, all of your images are showing "no outside linking of images" for me. Try just providing links to the images in your post instead of using img tags, as some websites (including that one, apparently) don't allow you to directly show their images from a different site (like Acmlm's board). |

Hmmm, maybe "And then" is the only English she knows? I predict this will be the next Internet meme. |

I just ignored the ranks after a while, actually.
I wouldn't mind seeing the ACS return though. It may even spur activity. |

What is it? How do you feel about it? And are there any interesting stories behind it?
My first name is Anthony, which I'm pretty indifferent to. It's not good or bad, it's just my name. I was going to be named Calvin originally, after the spiky-haired troublemaker in Calvin and Hobbes. Then they changed their mind and decided to name me after my grandfathers, so it was gonna be Anthony Gerald. The thing was, Gerald hated his name and always went by Jerry, and my parents didn't like the sound of either Jerry or Gerald (too old-fashioned for them), so they gave me the middle name of just the letter J by itself. Seriously. Also, they liked J because then maybe I could have been A.J. It never took. I hate being called Tony, it sounds too jockish and it's my uncle's name (also Anthony with the same last name). People seem to think I go by Tony and call me that by default, and I just assume they're talking about someone else. I'm Anthony, not Tony! Don't change that beautiful "th" in my name into an ordinary, run-of-the-mill "t"! Online, I prefer being called Kernal though. Being called by my real name on the Internet sounds awkward and weird. |

I never told anyone online my real name, even my first name, until mid-2005 (I started posting at boards in January 2002). For a while, if anyone asked I said it was "Harry", which was a joke from school because at the time I looked like Harry Potter and the movies had just started to come out. |

I think it was supposed to be a computer joke, they just forgot to change Bagu's name to "Bug". |

Keep in mind this is just out opinion; you may disagree.
KERNAL AND KATELYN'S RULES OF BABY NAMING 1. Do NOT name your child after a city, state, country, or geographical region unless it is also an established first name. Examples City: Madison, Paris, London, Timbuktu, Oklahoma City State: Georgia, Virginia, Massachusetts, New Mexico Country: India, America, Kenya, Uzbekistan Geographical region: Asia, Europe, Central America 2. Do NOT give your child a name that includes a capital letter other than the first. Examples: McKenzie, LaToya, JaShaKeeshakaah Caveat to rule 2. Making the letter in question lowercase does NOT make the name OK. 3. Do NOT give your child a last name as a first name, unless it is also a well-known first name (such as Kelly or Ryan). Examples: Monroe, Johnson, Hartford, Wiszniewski Rule 3 is ESPECIALLY important if the child is female and/or the last name in question is that of a current or former U.S. president. 4. In English speaking countries, the ONLY permissible characters in a first name shall be A through Z. No hyphens, diacritics, numbers, punctuation, and for gosh sakes NO DAMN APOSTROPHES. Examples: Anne-Marie, Zoë, GaShaJay'Nee'Shi'Ka 5. Children shall NOT be named after numbers. Examples: Seven, One, Pi, Googolplex 6. Children should NOT be named after automobiles. Examples: Mercedes, Lexus, Hummer, Oldsmobile 7. Children should NEVER be given names that are afterlives spelled backwards. Examples: Nevaeh, Lleh, Yrotagrup 8. Do NOT throw together random letters and/or syllables to form names. Examples: not needed 9. Do NOT select random words from a dictionary to form names. Examples: Faith, Harmony, Squeegee, Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis 10. All names must be spelled correctly. Some names have more than one valid spelling, in which case you can choose the one you want. 11. Names MUST be used on the correct gender. In particular, PLEASE do NOT use male or masculine-sounding names on females. What's with this obsession with masculinity anyway? Contrary to popular belief, giving a girl a feminine name will NOT hurt their future job prospects. 12. Don't use a rare letter in a name just for the heck of it, especially at the beginning. Something like Alexander or Elizabeth is OK, because those are actual names that you actually see on actual people. Naming your kid Xerxes or Quintus just so he'll have an initial of X or Q is NOT OK. 13. Do NOT pick a name that has never been used on a baby since 1925. Examples: Horace, Mildred, Bertha 14. Do NOT give your child a ghetto name, especially if you are Black. Naming your daughter something like Katherine or Claire won't make your kid magically turn White, so you can stop with the damn La'Keysha and Jhawntaivious already. (I don't want to be racist, but this pisses me off) -Katelyn's additions- 15) Never name your child a Japanese name outside of Japan. Examples: Kaori, Sakura, Midori, Satoshi 16) Never name your child something from a video game. Examples: Sonic, Sephiroth, Coin, Link 17) Never name your child after any anime character. Examples: Sesshomaru, Kagura, Kagome, Usagi 18) Never name your child after a Star Wars planet. Examples: Kashyyyk, Tatooine, Coruscant, Naboo 19) Never name your child after a car part. Examples: Check Engine light, Washer fluid, Oil, Coolant |

Posted by Kles Until this year, Michigan was pretty much the only U.S. state that still used a 1970s-style two-colour plate. |

Whoa, I didn't know this was from a movie...Katelyn just linked me to it on AIM yesterday...
EDIT: And why did I think the board made clickable links automatically from URLs? |

I'd recommend starting by learning the CSS equivalents of the familiar HTML tags, like font-weight: bold for <b>. |

583. The fact that approximately 100% of programming languages use American spellings for keywords and functions. It's colour, not "color", dammit. |

Posted by Tommathy Katelyn said that one, not me. I don't mind names being used outside of their culture too much...otherwise, all Americans would have to have names like Hiawatha and Sacagawea, right? Names like Jason and Claire are pretty entrenched into English by now. |

Then learn other things to do with CSS, I guess. Also, the different ways to incorporate CSS into an HTML document (i.e., as a style element of any tag for one-time use, or internally in the <head> section of the HTML document or externally in a separate .css file) and when to use each one:
Style attribute (<tag style="whatever">): when it's a one-time thing, like you want only one sentence to be red or something Internally in the head section: when you want that CSS to be applied to only one HTML page, but everywhere on the page. Say you want all <b> tags to also make the text slightly larger, you could specify a style for the b tag. In an external .css file: Same as above but if you want to use the same CSS on many pages such as an entire website. |

Why do people that flame generally not capitalize the first letter of sentences?
And it was just something fun I thought I'd post, because I get pissed off at the dopey names people come up with. Your kid has to go through life with their name and may even be judged by it. Don't take it so seriously. |

Posted by Metal_Man88 It's gotta be tough to fit all of that into the "Name" space on most forms... Also, "Madison" as a first name is a joke from a movie. It came from a street sign for gosh sakes! |

Someone please close this. It was a joke from another board, and non-Acmlm's jokes at Acmlm's always seem to lead to trouble. |

588. Posting jokes from other boards at Acmlm's and getting flamed for them. |
