The dumbing down continues.....

[blacjac]

To work out the number of days in successive months it's far easier to use your knuckles than that laborious poem - Hold out your left fist, face down, and count in from the knuckles of your little finger, including the hollows between each knuckle.

You should reach the index finger knuckle at july, whereupon you start from that same knuckle and count back the other way. Dunno how this will turn out in proportional spacing, but let's give it a go:

(___)___(___)___(___)___(___)

__J___f___M__a___M___j___J -->

_________D__n___O___s___A <--

So then every month with 31 days lands on a knuckle, and the rest (including february) fall on a hollow between two knuckles, indicated in lowercase above.

Or you could just continue onto the other hand.....

But then you'd have to change fingers, and I was trying to keep things simple for Cybertory

I think changing fingers would be easier for him than changing direction......

i before e
except before 'c',
before silent 'gh'
or before silent 'g'

That covers most cases.

Grammar is absolute nonsense and I refuse to learn it. There are more exceptions than rules, even applies in French which is highly regulated.

I do fine, never get loose with my lose which seems alarmingly common.

Where & were does get me though....usually I just pick one at random.

CyberT changes hand at least twice a night..... he likes to think it feels like someone else is spanking the monkey!

Is there yet a name for the law which says any internet post relating to speling or grammer has to contain a spellin or granma error?
