Idioms which are believed to be more Right :-) And electrictions should no longer use all those technical words like amps and guage. They should just talk about big wires and little wires :-) Electronic schematics should get rid of all those hard to understand symbols and draw pictures of what each component really looks like :-) Doctors should use simple terminology like "tummy ache" when writting on the patients chart :-) An physisists should just competely stop talking about all those teeny-tiny things that can't be seen and therefore don't exist :-) All those priests should stop talking in their secret languages and talk plain english so that the general public can understand them :-) Jerry Aguirre @ Olivetti ATC {hplabs|fortune|idi|ihnp4|tolerant|allegra|tymix}!oliveb!jerry
