Or 2*2*3*167 :) Isn't that weird how normally math problems in contests always use the year as a number in the problems? Eh... maybe I'm just weird.

Now now, we all have to learn english sometime (or so it seems). You can't blame anybody for bad foriegn spelling. However, if he isn't foreign... Oh jeeeeeze!

I doubt that many people that learn English as a second language would spell "of" as "uv"!

Something I found funny is that you brain only looks at the first and last letters of a word when you're reading...if a wrod is meslpslied, you can slitl cnuinote rinaedg as lnog as the fsrit and lsat lteetrs are palecd in the rhgit sopt...See? that wasn't TOO difficult to read was it?

Eh, dyslexia isn't THAT bad, at least, I don't think. Though, I assume it could range in severity. I once saw this thing- it was supposed to be how the first page of the book Moby Dick would look to an average dyslexic person. It was _really_ hard to read.

Eh, it wasn't like that, perfectly horizontally flipped. In that case, it wouldn't be all THAT hard to read it, I guess. You'd just learn the other way, and that would become normal to you.

Yeah... my friend thinks it doesn't work because of exceptions like three<->there. Still... by context, you can usually tell what they meant anyway, and since, for this, you KNOW it's misspelled(sp?), that makes it easier.
I think this is one of those times where I talk too much.

I take offense to your remark about canada. Though some canadians may or may not have an accent, they know how to spell 'of'. That was an improper remark you made. what? do you think the US is better than canada? just across the river from detroit, in canada, there is a murder every five or so years. in detroit, someone dies almost every day. canada has gun deaths in the 80 170 range per year. americas gun related deaths are in the tens of thousands. Still think canadians are retarted? Is it because canada has less guns? i laugh at you. they probably have more guns than the united states... everyone goe hunting... everyone has a gun. Canada also has country wide health care... FOR EVERYONE! EVERY CITIZEN! America does not.
im not saying canada is better than america, im saying you dont know what your talking about, so please be considerate when referring to our neighbors to the north, or any country for that matter. im not the most considerate person out there, but dont slang a whole country because of your unbased opinions.

Hold it, hold it... I doubt that no_one_2000_ was making fun of Canada. When I stated that most people that don't speak English nativly know how to spell "of", I was pointing out that zzo38's poor orthography was a result of slang rather than ignorance. As we were talking about if zzo38 spoke Engish nativly or not, no_one simply pointed out that zzo38 is Canadian. (Look at his profile thing.) I don't think that he was saying that zzo38 is Canadian because he did not spell "of" correctly. (But maybe he did... we'll have to see what he has to say about it.)

Obviously you didn't see that. They wanted to know where he was from.
("However, if he isn't foreign... Oh jeeeeeze" -- he didn't know if he was foreign or not)
I said from Canada. I didn't mean that was an explanation for his poor spelling.

OKAY? Good. Geez people, I don't get offended when people knock America. I laugh. LOL
