Alphabet soup, of course. (no explanation needed)
Also, word salad. (salad with alphabet noodles in it)
Blood, Sweat, Toil and Tears. (a cocktail with just enough alcohol to get your inner editor to pass out drunk)
Sounds a lot like President Roosevelt – the second one. He suffered from Polio, didn´t he?
I´d shame Shilo by posting about how badly she failed at offending me when I asked her to, but she´d probably get back at me for that.
Plus, I didn´t save the exchange.

Do they feel it so bad they won´t charge money for it?

My simple advice is, if it isn´t broken, don´t fix it. If whatever Windows you are using right now works for you, why upgrade to something that *might* work for you?
Welcome!
Don´t worry, we won´t bite you… unless you go for that sort of thing… :blush:
Thank you for your replies.
Zette´s answer was exactly what I was looking for. (see what I mean about misunderstanding what someone is trying to say?)
But the rest of your have given me useful advice, too, so: thanks again.*looks around*
*sheepishly puts down fire extinguisher*Sorry, I misunderstood the thread title.
Welcome to FM.

But it is the equivalent of the “lazy man’s load” as in doing a lot of work all at once to avoid needing to work over a long period.It´s them minimum effort necessary to guarantee an acceptable result, as opposed to a much larger effort for the mere possibility of an optimal result. You can´t get much more sloth-y without quitting your job and becoming a hobo.

On the other hand, I’d see sloth more as not doing the effort necessary to discover the innocent man is innocent rather than going out of your way to falsify.
What I meant is, what if going out of your way to forge sure-fire evidence for conviction is less work than going out of your way to investigate towards an uncertain result? And keep in mind – if you do find out the guys is innocent, you have to start the whole time-consuming investigation over again to find the real culprit.
Does the public (and do the superiors) really want to be sure the right person is convicted? Or are they really on “out for blood” and want to see someone punished for that crime?

I just got this idea, and I´d like to know what people think about it:
Instead of a fixed one-month format, with four or five lessons, classes can be anything from three to six lessons, whatever the teacher prefers. Each class takes place within the two month interval “covered” by an issue of Vision, is announced in said issue, and begins, say, two weeks after the issue goes online.
These classes wouldn´t only be Back To School, but any other kind of workshop that can fit this format – and if enough classes/workshops (and teachers!) are available, we could easily have more than one workshop at the same time.
Once again, two announcement.
First, Back to School as still looking for teachers. Yes, dear fellow writer, that means YOU!
Second, the December class, Urban Teaching 101, has started.
Allow me to bump this thread…
First, sorry for not thinking of posting this sooner, but there won´t be an October class due to a sudden and inexplicable outbreak of Real Life among the teaching staff. Except the next class to be in December.
Second, Back to School is, as ever, looking for new teachers. Any and all applications welcome.
