    Hello andy t,
    Maybe he thinks it's great and wants to tell the world, or, maybe he
    works for them, or, maybe he just hates Microsoft, or, maybe he just
    enjoy winding you up.
    Either way, thats what these forums are for, an exchange of ideas, mind
    you, after 2 years i think he must really like it, maybe it's worth a
    look.

    Naw, Andy/Robin/Michael or whatever sock-puppet
    name he is using now has already tried to grok Dragon,
    it is beyond his feeble mental capabilities.

    I really feel sorry for the guy.

    Sad situation, really.

    I beg your pardon, I am certainly not Andy T and I do not need to hide
    behind a false name.

    A false name like "Mark Conrad". You will be telling me next that is your
    real name, which I doubt it is, so it is you who I feel sorry for.

    Mental (adjective)

    1) Of or relating to the mind.
    Carried out by or taking place in the mind:
    "a quick mental calculation"

    hmm, that is the very first definition in my dictionary.

    Remind me to thank Andy for calling me "mental".

    I usta be judge-mental, but the pay was poor,
    so now I am just plain mental.

    When you call someone mental, I assume you normally mean definition 2a,
    which describes half the posters in this forum.

    Yes, screwy English language, multiple conflicting definitions
    of the same word.

    I have heard some take offense at the mildest words, when
    no offense was intended by the original poster.

    Since English has far more words than any other language, I suspect it has
    far fewer conflicting definitions.
    The original languages ie ancient Egyptian used symbols with many meanings.
    Regardless of the language, surely the intent of many written messages has
    been lost.
    The more text is written, the easier it should be to identify the intended
    meaning of any particular section from context.
    Sarcasm is frequently lost. Calling someone an Einstein could mean they're
    brilliant, or they're dumber than average.

    I totally agree with you Eric.

    The English language, UK in particular, is among the most complex and
    diverse of them all, so it is hardly surprising that some individuals, this
    one for example is a prize candidate, obviously does not have the
    intelligence to grasp the complexities of the English language.

    BTW

    His French is not much better.
