[WikiEN-l] Dates: Your vote is needed

LMAO.  Style philosophy and its applications to conduct or structure. Nobody
wins.

It reminds me of the 2000 US Election where lawyers would argue in state
court for a spiritual, non-literal interpretation of the law, and then cross
the street to federal court to make a letter of the law argument against the
spirit of the law (and vice-versa).

Cant we all just toke a bong?

| The distribution of opinion is that a large group of people want to have
the
| International style be the absolute standard and another large group want
to

able

spelling.

large
