English Language Question
-
Hmm, dunno. You would think the american spelling would have been "rationalised", they did to to centre and center, not there though. English english spelling isn't meant to make sense, it's designed as a trap for the unschooled and foriegners. Thank the lord for computer spell checking. On a side note, I often accidentaly used the American spellings of programming related words (color,center,randomize,program) when I was in school which drove my english teacher up the wall. Ryan

Believe it or not, the name for the unit of measure you are looking for is U, as in a 1U rack (Google this and see what pops up). 1U is 1.75 inches (44.3 mm); multiples of this is the standard height of most rack-mount devices nowadays. 'til next we type... HAVE FUN!! -- Jesse

Really ?!? What about ... German ? :-) ( not mentioning the ... Vienerish - cool, how should I put this into English?) SkyWalker
Huh, well I don't think German is that difficult:-D By the way, it's originally called "Wienerisch", not "Vienerish". And yes, this is a very difficult language. Many people frm northern Germany fail when they try to talk like this. Most important sentence in wienerisch: "Mei Bier is net deppat":laugh:

'Centre' is correct in British English. 'Center' is correct in US English. So to answer your question, 'centre' ;-). -- Andrew.

Why is it "Label" and "Table", not "Lable" and "Tabel" ? _________________________________ Vote '1' if you're too lazy for a discussion
Why does German have 16 ways of saying "the" and 16 ways of saying "a" .... why not one way for each? Regards, Brian Dela :-) Now Bloging![^]
