After managing to set up OE-QuoteFix on his new PC, Ed reads a message
from °°°M°S°°Publisher°°° said:
That is the trouble with real old people like you Ed, you don't sleep
enough.
How much sleep do you get?
If you slept more and took a long walk on a highway you would not
spend so much time here.
If I took a walk on a highway, I would:
a) Be breaking the law
and b) Probably get killed so I would no longer be able to spend any time
here.
Thing is, you also do not speak and write seven languages fluently.
I don't travel as much as you. But I can speak a language that I bet you
don't.
You obviously need to get a life when you start worrying about a word
that means the same thing.
Did you mean word*s* that mean the same thing? Or a word that actually
means "the same thing". Like "identical". I'm not worrying about
"identical" or any similar words, so I'll assume you meant the first.
