k) I'll figure that out a year from now, when this millenium ends
and the next one begins 1
\_ Although this isn't the new millenium, it is the new Millenium.
\_ So it happens a year earlier if you capitalize it?
\_ Not content with being wrong, you insist on being boring
as well.
\_ I'm not wrong. It is exactly as I stated it. Boring was
the pedantic twit who said it wasn't the millenium in the
first place.
\_ Let me get this straight -- You believe that it isn't
the end of the "millenium", it is the end of the
"Millenium", and that the *other* guy is pedantic?
\_ One is about calendars. The other is about the
mass media label. Yes. The *other* guy is a twit
and pedantic but I live in the real world. I know
it isn't the new millenium by the calendar but I see
nothing wrong with people enjoying it as if it was.
How fun would it be celebrating 2001? Only Arthur
C. Clarke geeks would see anything special about
that. And oh yeah, the pedantic calendar geeks.
\_ Ah, so you place more value on mass media
labels than reality -- Got it.
\_ No. I acknowledge that I live in a world
with other people in it. This is more
important than the artificial nature of the
calendar. /usr/bin/cal isn't my best
friend. Keep your snide elitist crap to
yourself. You're not 1/1000th as clever as
you seem to think.
\_ Oh, agreed. Far more clever to
simultaneously think you're in two
different milleniums. |
