Do you stumble on a word if the casing is changed?

Most the of time, the words don't have to be in the the right order either.

Well, The link is to Matt Davis who attacks the idea and demonstrates that it's possible to construct sentences that can can have dual meanings using the first/last letter rule. But there is certainly some truth to the idea. Best Wishes, -David Delaune

I would read it as c URL, and wonder what the 'c' stood for in the context of Uniform Resource Locators

Griff, I must know... was this in reference to the previous latin motto in my signature? Thanks, -David Delaune
No, why? I don't remember your previous sig - or that much Latin either, it's been a lot of years - what was it?

Well, Nevermind then. It was a motto related to preserving all truth and knowledge. I was hoping your Latin was better than mine and could correct any grammatical mistake in my translations. Btw are you ever going to remove @DalekDave from your sig? Best Wishes, -David Delaune

Maybe. Who can tell? If he comes back and requests it, maybe - or if Chris gets fed up with sending the emails! :laugh:

I read it the same way, but didn't wonder - I just said to myself: "Oh, so it is implemented in C. Fair enough." I've been working among Python programmers for too long. I never saw any other group of programmers so eager to tout their implementation language. Fortran programmers never named their applications "forSomething", Pascal programmers didn't call them "pasMyApp" or Cobol programmers "cobSolution". Well, occasionally it might happen, but for 99,9% of the solutions, the application name was some indication of the problem it solved or some product marketing name - not the name of the implementation tool. But Python programmers do that. To such a degree that I have come into the habit of stripping off any prefix that matches a common programming language name.
