        <![CDATA[I will give Ry a reluctant pass.&nbsp; When you have to spell things like '(6aR,9R)- N,N- diethyl- 7-methyl- 4,6,6a,7,8,9- hexahydroindolo- [4,3-fg] quinoline- 9-carboxamide' correctly your brain gets too full to deal with petty little details like readability of your reports or whether you spilled some on page 6 which is conspicuously missing after being reviewed.<br />
<br />
BillT should know better though given his h4x0r skills which probably include pouring the sand out before booting.<br />
<br />
Before those country specific dictionaries the colour and flavour of your English was decidedly non English.<br />]]>

Don't need Serbo-Croat.&nbsp; I can foul up English just fine. (And, man, you should see what recipients of letters I sent to Japan in Kanji and hurigana had to deal with.&nbsp; Oi vey.)&nbsp; ;)<br />
