I know one of usenet's cardinal rules is never to criticise others' spelling or grammar, but......
The word is *fluorescent* not flourescent!
If I've seen that spelling mistake once, I must have seen it at least 20 times in different thread over the last few months!
:-)
You mean you haven't heard of lighting based upon finely milled cereal crops?
Could you embroider on that?
No wonder your bread smells. :-)

On the subject of Arrrrghhhh why do loads of folk say "they brought something" rather than bought?
Steven.
Maybe they didn't pay for it, just brought it home...?
They tend to be the same people that say that they "done" something.
... made out of cotton seed flour?
Or use the word draw for drawer?

Most of the time it is in the context of "I brought it at the shop for £xxx" I thought maybe the ward had changed as so many people were using it!
Steven.
And, use the word 'can' when they mean 'can't'. For example...
"I've got a new wireless and now I can access my webs ive checked everything what is rong with this vista is there a patch"
'They could of seen what was in the draw, if they had of brought a flourescent light.........'
I have to also cast a vote for use of "should of" instead of "should have". Grrrrr.
Biodegradeable and emits no carbon at all!
Nor light, but who cares?
Something has to give.
Cos they are thieving pikey bastards? Oops. Wrong thread.
Is that like a painter? a piece of 'roap' on a ship?
:-)
Here's my gripe while we're at it...
We spell 'Business' like so,but really I think it should be spelt 'Buisness' looks right in text.
I keep finding that I have said "try and" instead of "try to". (I usually catch it if I am writing/typing.) I try and avoid that whenever I can.
