I was the one who misspelled silicon as silicone in my original

e-mail

to the

GyroChip company. I posted the response as an answer to the question

of

who makes

the chips.
Come on guys, get a life!

Sorry Finn,

Was not my intention to hammer on you. My comments were directed at the
media, congressmen, and people who chronicaly misuse these words, who

should

know better. Not a little typo or misspelling. Kind of like saying

nukeular

instead of nuclear (I bet this one really bugs Tom Kendall :-). All in

good

fun anyway.

Hey Monty,

There's all kinds of ignorant things that chap my buns:  The idiots who
think a $110 Million one-time payout on the Lotto is a $200 Million prize
("'cause if you take it over 20 years that's how much they pay you");
Broadcasters and Pols that keep talking about "sea changes" (uh, pardon me,
but the sea changes all the time... where did *that* saying come from??),
and the rocket scientists that protest stringing high voltage transmission
lines across the landscape because birds run into them and they're ugly, but
then in the next breath say we oughtta blanket the landscape with windmills
because the power will be environmentally friendly and free.

But for the folks who say "nukeular" I just grin.  It's the sound of job
security for me.  So just turn down the thermostat folks, and turn on all
the lights.  I'll take *good* care of y'all!
