Why can't he have his tea in a squeeze bulb??
Just because we have artifical gravity and he doesn't need it, why should that stop him??

I like both, and be impressed, I've finally given up sugar in bot! I now only have sugar in them when I need a sugar boost!

It's OK - I understood that perfcetly without the correction!!

E G Mel Posted Aug 29, 2002
Sometimes I correct sometimes I don't depends what mood I'm in, I'm in a pacifist pedantic mood at the moe!

Shouldn't that have been "mo!"??
21 August, 2002: New Smileys
E G Mel Posted Aug 29, 2002
Well officially it should be mo' but I don't like that since I feel that it requires the silent e to make the o say it's name, there fore like hoe it is moe! But it is personal preference and since it is a colloquial abbriviation you can use whichever you prefer!

Actually, it should have been "mo.!"... 
21 August, 2002: New Smileys
E G Mel Posted Aug 29, 2002
Or maybe mo'e. to indicate the missing m inbetween the o and the e and the . to show that I've truncated the word

Mr Inertia - Now new, improved and mostly human! Posted Aug 29, 2002
But surely then, it should be typed as mo'. This would simply show that the word moment has been shortened and therefore has missing letters!

DoctorMO (Keeper of the Computer, Guru, Community Artist) Posted Aug 29, 2002
I use that all the time, apr'tly.
I read that and it made me laugh, 'I don't take sugar in bot', so you admit to having robots on H2G2?? 
Oh OK, but were am I going to get a squeezy bulb, no ones going to make a smilie ever, and I cerntly don't know what they are.
*passes around tea in varouse other prefranced containers* how did I know what yours was? I don't but time is not relitive on H2G2.
