Random and inconsistent snippets from an unstructured mind. My truth may not be your truth. A fact is a fact only by standing on it.
It can't fall down, there is nothing holding it up...
Except some sort of capitalist exploitation. The writer is a 3rd generation Indigenous Australian. Not, i might add, Aboriginal - two different concepts.

apropos nothing
mm, whatever, might just ramble. No real reason .. bits 'n' pieces (why does "i" have to come before "e" before "c" .. ? Or is it 'peaces' after 'see'?
anyway, local feuds .. whateverever. One of these days will begin to understand.
A propos spelling, at least you were properly educated and know the rules. “Ours not to reason why”.
Local feuds sound a lot more interesting than our national news. Today is Budget Day - the most boring news day of the year, which laid on top of the Libyan War makes it boring and depressing at the same time. I played an old Grateful Dead concert at breakfast time instead.
You are more optimistic than I -- “one of these days will begin to understand”! I understand less each day.
All except for the SPring sunshine. I understand that. It is calling to me. Later, dear Davo!
Ah, JM, have been meaning to write some sort of riposte along the lines of .. why do the americans feel the need to take the "you" out of "humour" and "colour"?

ah, "National News" .. there are a whole heap of little battles happening. Who gives a shit about "NATIONAL NEWS"????
Am not dead yet, Vincent .. heh. Remain able to fight (more or less). Long story.
Just don't put local crap on the "world wide web".
'atropos'? um, my muddled mind may well have been thinking of 'atrophy', as well. Ah well, am not getting any younger.
Its always I before the E excepting after C, (sometimes). Or not all the time, I think!!!.
The rule is this: "I" before "E" except after "C" or when the "E" comes before the "I."
Weird. Perhaps one should imbibe more caffeine, develop some policies for the species on bending the rules.
Very funny, subtle humor, Davo.
These all violate the rule (some you just noted):
ie after c: species, science, sufficient
ei not preceded by c: seize, weird, vein, foreign, eider

argumentum ab inconvenienti
Davo, I did not say that we corrected all of the words. We are correcting them slowly.
mm, looks like a case of "I" before everything else .. heh.
