Beat completely senseless today, someone who is intolerably stupid, inconsiderate, or just plain mean, preferably using an appendage ripped from the body of said person.

From my inbox:
Greetings, addressing you is Bernardo Donaldson, Superior Accounting Officer at Federal Reserve. We have received an inquiry from your Financial Institution regarding an incoming money transfer from Rio Tinto Group mining ASX: RIO with concern on the company's current activity which is valued as "High Risk Activity". In order to release the funds to your account please complete the attached form "IIMT Form 401".
A "Superior Accounting Officer" must be pretty important. OK, this was sent to me at "britain's biggest bingo site" rather than a financial institution, and the only way we'd be likely to deal with Rio Tinto is if we became a literal rather than a metaphorical gold-mine.
Seems legit.

I learned Spanish and it was nice to learn a language that actually obeys the rules, mostly. Yes, American is crazy and rebellious.

Do spell "historic" as "historick", "maintenance" as "maintenaunce" or "salvation" as "savacioun"?
If not, it's still broken. Please sort it out, you've done excellent work with color. While you're at it, put the gender inflections back on things like actress, they are needed. I'm old enough to think that searching for "nude actors" and "nude actresses" on Google should return entirely different sets of results.

Hey, we left England for a reason. I suppose instead of butchering the language we should have just made up our own, like pig-latin or something. After all, we made up our own measuring system.

The founding fathers left because they disagreed over spelling? That's dedication!

Perhaps it was because you Brits read too much into what someone says.

I suspect it more likely it was all a tax dodge. Or they were drunk
Most things can be attributed to either or both of these things.

Of course you aren't referring to the actual people, just the language.

Anyone who'll ride an overcrowded steamer across the ocean just for a shot at 'starting over' is a better person than I.

Too true. I have read some of my ancestors journals and the hardships they endured is very hard to imagine. Some lost children or other loved ones on the ships and had to bury the body in the middle of the ocean.
I know bad stuff still happens today but I am forever grateful to my ancestors for their sacrifices.

I recall from once-upon-a-time, whilst learning German, the following:
"The only language rule without exceptions is that there are no rules without exception."
"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." - Albert Einstein | "As far as we know, our computer has never had an undetected error." - Weisert | "If you are searching for perfection in others, then you seek disappointment. If you are seek perfection in yourself, then you will find failure." - Balboos HaGadol Mar 2010 |

I'm a little bit done for this week. Every morning I was weary, what's unusual for me. So: TGIF!
Yes. I leave you now. You will be on your own here. And I go home and this weekend I will do everything to be tired on monday, too! So if there is a club in your neighborhood: watch out! I might be coming!
Read you all here again next week, tired but happy.
