Well there is that of course. Why would you take a universally known "I couldn't care less" and change it to "I could care less......" but forget to mention the last part of this longer, wordier sentence - with the result that you don't say what you want, and indeed what you would have said if you hadn't stopped using the time honoured approach

Just remember, Brit-when it comes to honor, there's no room for 'u'. [:'(]

Let's talk about lack of access to decent food. Some of you may think you know what poverty is. Some here may even think they know someone who is in poverty. You don't know diddly. I frequently bring street people back to the cardboard box I call home to thaw out. That restaurant I referred to was the dumpster behind my local Hardies. I went there looking for some good crispy duck, but alas, no luck. You can't handle the truth about being poor. I, for instance, save all my finger and toe nails ...er, claws. When I have enough I file them down on the sidewalk to make gelatin. Then I scrape the mold off of my cardboard box and add that. The result I pretend to be Lime Jello.

I first attempted to raid the grease trap, but there was none to be had. I think they use their cooking oil for far too long.

[geofflambert]

Please, no go fund me sites. I will soldier on without sponging off the gullible.

I heard you even let a poor homerless guy try your gelatin...

[BBfanboy]

I also heard that you can do other things with your versatile gelafungus ....

[BBfanboy]

And we have proof that your real sustenance does not come from gelafungus!

They do not know the meaning of the word tough.

Webster also changed the spelling of words like defence, theatre, plough, axe, and catalogue, in addition to the u-less words. His spelling of tongue (tung) did not catch on.
Webster would like spellcheck. [&o]

The game has a town called Tungchow. Is that Chinese for lollipop? Ice cream cone?

[pontiouspilot]

So I checked in here to see if Singapore fell by Xmas '41 and now it looks like it's safe until Xmas '17!

At 19 pages I'm surprised that our green friend doesn't have U-tube-esque sponsors on this AAR; with this bunch of viewers perhaps Cialis, or a major bi-polar medication (helps control megalomania)...or fine distilleries coupled with big-name rehab facilities. Or, why not travel with the Gorn to exotic places??...smell the sulfur gasses at Rabaul...perhaps enjoy the titillations of backstreet Manila. The mind boggles at the capitalist possibilities; maybe we see the green man in new Hugo Boss with samurai sword in hand.

[Chickenboy]

Or at least Geico for the obvious scale-ability Right? Get it? Scal...oh, never mind...

I think they like 'lingua' there. Personal favorite for tacos in our household.

I haven't read all the posts since I was last here, I'll get to that later.

PROGRESS ON CONVERTING FROM DBB-C BETA VERSION TO STOCK LATEST OFFICIAL PATCH
I’ve made a backup of my current WitP-AE folder and given it a different name
I’m changing my shortcut path for this PBEM from this:
"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -fd -altfont -px1920 -py1080 -archive -cpu1 -fd -dd_sw –deepColor
To this:
"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -fd -altfont -px1920 -py1080 -archive -cpu1 -fd -dd_sw –deepColor
Next I opened the main folder and saw the beta update in it, but it was also in the Beta2 folder. I’m just going to leave it alone and not touch it.
