PS. My AV is an old photo. Even then my beard was coloured with stage make-up.
 
XM and Sirius satellite radios have merged their programming. being a metal head, I listened to XM's Liquid Metal channel. They dumped the XM DJs and programming for the Sirius "Hard Attack" DJs and programming, which are disappointingly inferior. The DJs sound like the type of twit that I left FM radio to avoid. The programming sounds like a half-assed cross of rock radio and metal. I don't want the rock. There was a separate channel for the rock.

This is a piss poor change, and I have emailed XM to let them know how much of a mistake I think it is.

Bournemouth Council, which has the motto Pulchritudo et Salubritas - meaning beauty and health - has banned staff from using 19 Latin words

Classics scholars have accused councils of 'ethnic cleansing' after they banned staff from using Latin words.

The local authorities claim the terms are elitist and discriminatory, and have ordered employees to use often-wordier alternatives in documents or when speaking to the public.

They include ad hoc, bona fide, status quo, vice versa and even via.

Its list of alternatives includes 'for this special purpose', in place of ad hoc and 'existing condition' or 'state of things', instead of status quo.

Mary Beard, a Cambridge professor of classics, said: 'This is absolutely bonkers and the linguistic equivalent of ethnic cleansing. English is and always has been a language full of foreign words. It has never been an ethnically pure language.'

Dr Peter Jones, co-founder of the charity Friends of Classics, said: 'This sort of thing sends out the message that language is about nothing more than the communication of very basic information in the manner of a railway timetable. 'But it is about much more than that. The great strength of English is that it has a massive infusion of Latin. 'We have a very rich lexicon with almost two sets of words for everything. To try to wipe out the richness does a great disservice to the language. It demeans it. I am all for immigrants raising their sights not lowering them. Plain English and Latin phrasing are not diametrically opposed concepts.'

Harry Mount, author of the best-selling book Amo, Amos, Amat and All That, a light-hearted guide to the language, said: 'Latin words and phrases can often sum up thoughts and ideas more often than the alternatives which are put forward. 'They are tremendously useful, quicker and nicer sounding. They are also English words. You will find etc or et cetera in an English dictionary.'

However, the Plain English Campaign congratulated the councils for introducing the bans.

Marie Clair, its spokesman, said: 'If you look at the diversity of all our communities you have got people for whom English is a second language. 'They might mistake eg for egg and little things like that can confuse people. At the same time it is important to remember that the national literacy level is about 12 years old and the vast majority of people hardly ever use these terms. It is far better to use words people understand.'

Of other local authorities to prohibit the use of Latin, Salisbury has asked staff to avoid the phrases ad hoc, ergo and QED (quod erat demonstrandum), while Fife has banned ad hoc as well as ex officio.
 
It never fails, this is always the one day of the year that makes me feel the crappiest about myself. At this point I just want it to be over.

Hmmm, "i know that's exactly what you'd expect me to say" is exactly what a pod person WOULD say... ...mmm, but doesn't drink coffee and smokes... definite Zombie indications too...

But a clever pod person would say "I am a pod person" knowing that everyone would expect a pod person not to say that and take it as a joke.

Of course, a very clever pod person would know that people would know that a clever pod person would admit to being a pod person expecting that people would take it as a joke and hence would never admit to being a pod person.
