Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

A grab-bag of responses (probably all to now-defunct threads, but
I don't get to catch up here too often!):

1.  Birth order:  I'm yet another first-born Anne (first of two
    siblings; daughter of two first-borns of two siblings)

2.  Cahs:  [note: Those unfamiliar with Rho Disland-ese please
    replace the "h" with a "r"]      Right on, Subaru.  We're
    on our second and they are great.
       Another terrific Japanese car no one has mentioned yet
    is the Dodge (Mitsubishi) Colt.  I had an '81 hatchback for
    7 years and it took me through every kind of godawful
    New England weather while I was commuting ~80 miles a day.
    We retired it to a junkyard at something like 180,000-plus
    miles...probably could have fixed it up again, but didn't
    need two cars at that time and our Subaru was still going
    strong.  I still miss my zippy little Colt!
        Colt also makes the family wagon we swear by now: the
    Vista.  Bought an '87 just before we got our "instant family"
    (los tres nin~os Colombianos) last year; it seats seven but
    is small compared to all those big bulky vans, and it drives
    just great.  We'll just keep trading for newer Vistas for the
    next 16-18 or so years, I imagine.  :-)

3.  Shopping at thrift stores such as Goodwill and Sallie's (Sal-
    vation Army):  Oh please!  Just because we're so-called "white
    collar types"  (I am *not* a computer nerd, thank you!), we
    should pay those inflated store prices to clothe our families?
    This is especially true for kids' clothes -- kids grow so FAST.
    All my kids' clothing comes either from the Sallie or from
    friends' hand-me-downs, except for underwear and shoes.  So
    has at least half of my maternity wardrobe this year; and
    stacks of really wonderful books for my kids.  I could never
    afford to dress 3 children (soon 4) at brand-new prices, so
    Sallie's is a godsend... and as someone else pointed out, the
    money I pay for clothes helps them do good works.  I also
    recycle our outgrown clothes at their big red bins, so they
    can sell 'em again and make the money twice.

C'est tout pour maintenant.  Oh -- childbirth report:  I'm now
3 weeks away from due date, having contractions like crazy but
no true labor yet, and feeling *very* nervous!!!  Eeek.

>      Wouldn't you miss hearing the voices of people you like?

How are their voices different from their words on a screen?  Or rather
why do you think hearing words produced by vocal apparatus is better
than reading words produced by digital apparatus?

     Words produced by the voice are "better" because they can convey
     much more extra-verbal information.  Accent, pitch, tone,
     overtone, hesitation, stammering, throat-clearing -- the warmth
     that enters the voice when you smile while you speak -- you can
     simulate some of these effects typographically, but the effect is
     self-conscious and arch.  I prefer the spontaneous self-betrayal
     of the spoken voice.

     This seems self-evident to me.  I'm a little surprised that a
     linguist would ask this question.

I think they are. (I am talking as if I knew what I'm talking
about, but this is largely educated guesswork.) There are some
by-products of whaling, but they are kind of old fashioned...
whale oil and baleen. I *think* that whale oil still has some
high tech uses, but the meat is the main product. I think a lot
of it goes into *dog-food*!

Whales are *MUCH* bigger than cows. You get tremendously more meat
for the same amount of slaughtering. Also you don't have to buy them
or breed them, herd them, feed them, or transport them to market for
sale to the slaughter-houses.

Yes, the whaling factory ships are expensive, but now that they've
got them, what else could they convert them to? The countries that
are still into whaling unfortunately have big reasons to stay that
way.

Indeed.  I believe you can claim them up until one year old without an SSN.
However, by then you have to get them one to claim deduction. Thats why
the SSN boxes are there on the deduction lines, and of course your taxform
instructions tell all the limits and details.

Yes, they went down.  I recall an article on it at the time in which IRS
claimed the total deductions went down by several millions, and that the
worst case went from 22 deductions to 1.  Guess all the kids grew up
and left home at once.  8-)    (or, they all died in a giant freeway wreck,

Of course I recognize your existence, dear ggs, I expect you

The BSU site license for WP5.1 includes one copy of the manual.  There
are hundreds of legal copies of it on campus.  I think the manuals are
something like 30 bucks each.  Of some 50 legal copies of the software
in the library, we have probably bought about 20 manuals.  Most people
in adjacent areas have NO problem sharing a manual.  In this office
three of us easily share a manual, especially since the manual "owner"
is our WP guru in the building, and we always "just ask Julie" first.
