As for English being easier, what about all those incorrectly used and/or forgotten apostrophes?!

In HEX it would be:

Been programming and working with computers for for 50 years.<CRLF>
Octal is another fun one. DEC (Digital Equipment Corp) PDP series computers used octal.<CRLF>
All the others I used were hexadecimal.<CRLF>
I found out programming was in my blood...

You took a picture of a UHH member naked and afraid. Since I don't visit the attic I must have missed it.

If you guess who it is, I'll send to you via private message. You may submit three names - and three names only - as your guesses

that's an interesting thought! I tend to suspect that people are 'more themselves' when anonymity is available to them. I also tend to believe that how we each behave in the small spaces of life is a microcosm of how we behave throughout all of life. (of course, this can change over time.)
I have to disagree. When there is anonymity many people are more apt to make outrageous claims or threats, for example than they would in real life.

Could be. We are talking humans here. Every one of us similar but different. Generally speaking no generalization is going to work.

Bob, yes, you are right! I've learned, over the years, who will provide help; who will be encouraging; and who will need to be right! And I know that in every group (even within families) there will be 'that person' who just has to let some inappropriate word or response fly. They just can't help themselves, or so it would seem.
But it does get wearing to see it on desplay, post after post after post. Perhaps I'd just reached my threshold today!

I try to keep in mind that the know it all people may know almost everything in one area but usually know very little about other subjects. Possibly ones I do know a lot about. And I’ve always said that social media allows people forget manners and civilized behavior. I remind myself that there is no such thing as a stupid question, only questions from those that don’t know. That sounds pretty simplistic, but my best friend and biking buddy grew up in town, lives in a Chicago suburb and is a retired English teacher. Being a farmer, he asks me questions that any farm kid knows the answer to but never having lived on a farm, he simply doesn’t know. I figure the stupid person isn’t the one that doesn’t know, but the one that won’t ask a question so that he will know.

If I first form a picture of the offender, presenting said offender naked would require eye bleach.
