I see the lot of you Euro-server players need to learn to read everything PK writes as him having his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.
PK is serious only about 10% of the time. Especially if it reads offensive, or "could be" offensive.

NIC card - Network Interface Controller Card.
NIC card is a bad choice for that. Now, POST tests....

This may vary greatly geographically, but I've always found the crossed 7/Zs to be fairly uncommon in natural British citizens but a lot more common in mainland Europe. I've always guessed it may be down to differences in language and letter frequencies. |

Duh  And don't get my started with Zs. (Having gone to a high school were a sixth of the graduating class were foreign exchange students, I mock "the others" without any intention of actual harm. After all, without the Brits how would we ever have had Doctor Who?) |
So I don't usually cross Z/7s but I do often cross my noughts - a throwback to old programmer habits that I don't see much in younger programmers.

You want to here some crazy names? Over here in Ireland we got a place called Jerusalem and Rapepark :P
At least I'm pretty sure it was Jerusalem, wasn't paying too much attention to that map..
Now this is all very well and good having 10 pages of discussion on the various merits of the language of each country, but I am sorry, us Brits cannot really have a go at anyone over language until we sort our internal differences out.
For the first and last time, the thing that the burger goes in is called a bread BUN!
Its not a bap, its not a roll, its not a barm, its certainly not a chuffin' breadcake!*
When will the breaded product misnaming horrors end! My fellow countrymen, please let us all unite under the banner of the breadbun and focus our rage on other more deserving foes (which may or may not be french!)
One thing I would like to say though, that puts all the language changes to shame is the translation of 'f**ks sake'. I have a habit of saying 'oh for f**ks sake' when stressed and annoyed, which a Hungarian colleague of mine always translates to mean 'wooden chair'... Oh for wooden chairs...
*please note that in addition to the above, cake is made of cake, if its small, ITS STILL CAKE!, stop calling it a bloody bun you bloody Yorkshiremen!

Brit fight Brit fight!
*runs outside*
*runs into local supermarket and grabs the microphone*
Ladies and gentlemen, in the other thread we have Brit fight!
On another note, yeah I'm only serious about 10% of the time, and it's pretty obvious when I AM serious, because I don't use any smilies. If you see a smilie, of ANY type, I'm probably not being serious.
I also find it curious the amount of people that don't get my "humor". 7 out of the 8 bad reps I've gotten so far were from people that obviously took one of my joke posts seriously. It's kinda sad, really.
Cause everyone knows forum posting IS SRS BZNS!!!!!!!! 
U C wut I did thar?
When I saw the title of this thread I assumed it was something to do with customising defensive powers in I16.
I didn't notice the bad spelling until afterward

This is the actual 8th one, and I quote:
"Die I shall make it to the top of rep!"
So, yeah, the 8th man was sometime trying to "knock me down" so that he/she could be "raised up" in the Rep scale by comparison.
I find it pretty funny. I personally won't be turning off my Rep score no matter where it goes.
Mostly because I'm an attention w***e, but partly because I'm just curious.

We have so many differences in the scant miles comprising our isles, not to mention the rest of the EU, so what hope do we ever have of communicating with the myriad souls on the other side of the Atlantic (heck, Pacific in some cases).

Viva la difference!
It takes all sorts to make a world and all sorts to change one. Lets be tolerant of others and celebrate all the differences and similarities we enjoy between us. If we were all the same we would be colourless and boring.
There is always a lot to be thankful for, if you take the time to look. For example, I'm sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt. ~Author Unknown
