My turn for a pointless poll and thread

[Dusty]

Let's have a thread about alternative spellings. Meow/miaow, okay/OK, which do you prefer?

And if you want, attach a sample of your handwriting. I don't think that's ever been done before.

 

[Giancarlo]

Meow, and Okay.

Now this thread is pointless.

I could do the handwriting via my Palm OS, but I don't know how to import it to the desktop software. I'll try later.

Anyway my vote is Meow, okay

My handwriting is horrid; it's worse than my doctor's.

If only I had a scanner.

 

[stu]

i spell it with a lower case 'm' so it's meow...

my meow art(doesn't look nice on a palm):

This is as best as I can manage not on real paper:

I could of actually just scanned something I've written on, but this was easier.

cool you also use a palmtop(like me) to write it.

 

[Tater]

These appear to be the new trend.

How do you spell "meow" and "okay"?

That's a trick question. I'd spell them just like you did.

Can you see it? I wrote it on the monitor screen and hit the send key.

 

[Dusty]

Why'd you kill your "all beef + no cheese makes a nasty burger" post, Gooey?

 

[LeX]

I would've chosen "meow, OK/ok/okay" if I could.

My handwriting

This is off topic, but it's my thread and I can do what I want to!

Having remembered the old adage that a thousand monkeys with a thousand typewriters given an infinite amount of time could write the complete works of Shakespeare, I wrote a little script that just spit out random letters until it made a specified word. I called it "monkey".

It took significantly longer than I expected.

It took 6,499,040 random letters before it spelled "Dusty". You'll be happy to know, Stu, your name only took 36,876. The Poster Formerly Known as Needcgispace... give it a few more days.

The point of all this... I don't know, but I found it entertaining.

 

[Filòs]

That sounds like entertainment.

Would you be willing to share it?

Ok, this is no longer a pointless thread. It now has a point.. I just gave it one. I tried to write meow on my computer, but I kept messing up and now I cant get these stupid eraser marks off it. Oh well, at least it's not whiteout..

 

[Dusty]

Here ya go.

It's called "monkey.txt" here because I don't think the forum allows .pl files to be uploaded, rename it once you download. There are instructions provided but it should be pretty self-explanatory. I was running it locally from DOS, if you're going to run it on a web server, you might want to get rid of the "system('cls');" line and add a content-type header.

Webdude: It would look better if you put a little dot there at the end of it.
