If there's some secret society who only knows what they mean, that's ok. Just someone wanting to learn still... Go ahead, flame away Last edited by Patrnflyr; 07/27/18 11:10 PM.

That and it is very hard to type out the complete word. Eventually our bodies will morph to just one big Thumb on each hand and we will grunt to speak.
