The Great Indian Spelling Mistake

Thursday, June 22, 2006

Like all good Indians (the kind that go to school on elephants ) I mispell the word “believe” as “beleive” from time to time. Fortunately I think I found the perfect way to remember the right way to spell it. A friend on a mailing lists had this to say when I expressed disgust at misspelling that word again:

“Remember, beLIEve has a LIE in it.”

Thanks, that should fix my brain.

Matt’s Fall from Google

Tuesday, June 13, 2006

Everyone’s favourite version of Matt is no longer the number one Matt in the world. I heard he’s had trouble with the site since a small hacking incident. Hold on, Matt, you’ll be back up there in no time, hopefully.
