Many decry society based on a complete lack of good manners, evoking memories of an earlier time when the word “please” was always followed by a “thank you,” and a “thank you” was always followed by “you’re welcome.” While it’s true that many have no regard for others, it’s always good to see that at least a few of our youth have learned the value of these sorts of niceties.

And I would answer them by saying, “As often as possible, or at least once a day, whichever is first.” Not that my sex life is any of their business…

Ruminations
Ok – so sitting around I sometimes get to wondering “What The Hell?”.
Today is one of those days.
It seems that the more I read through blogs and whatnot the more I come across people using the wrong words in place of the right ones.
Half the hypocrite, I’m not even sure if these are classified as spelling mistakes or grammatical mistakes. Anyways, what I am getting to are words such as brake and break. How can you mix up saying something like “I like to break for babies” or how about “Sorry officer, I forgot to set the parking break” and my favorite “Yo! I’m so gonna brake yo face!” (when said in a heavy NY accent).
Anyways, it’s not that I’m a brilliant writer and haven’t been known to make a misteak hear or there, it’s just that I wish people would take the time to either get reacquainted with their backspace key or at least visit m-w.com once in a while.
Update – I take great pain in re-stating the fact that California is laying off close to 30,000 teachers. Just think of all the crap you’ll have to read from now on, in addition to my own drivel.

So in the process of cleaning this blog up, pulling out some fluff and doubling the speed, I ran across a several bits of “extra” code that are quite a lot less than necessary…
Can someone please tell what this means?
… [This plugin] is in the 2.6 version of WordPress after the automatic accession to the revised edition of the journal preservation cause, you modify a log of each, will add a revision, if you modify many times, log on the few speeches, it will be a very frightening number!If you have 100 on the log, your revisiong redundancy may be as many as 1,000 articles!
[This plugin] is the end came, to delete a large number of redundant revision to increase the speed of implementation of the SQL statement, WordPress upgrade the speed there is a lot of benefits!
Thank you for your useing. I hope this will give you convenient plug-ins!
I has a loss…
And if you think the Engrish is bad, you should see the math it does…
Now You have 838 posts ,Up to now [this plugin] has deteted 1042 post revision of dedundancy,it’s easy . Wish happy ending !
Regardless of how many times I run it, 838 != 1042.
