Newsgroup: it.cultura.linguistica.inglese
Titolo: tanto OT, ma pi?OT di cosœ......

 mbeh? e' esattamente quello che ho scritto, perchè non si capisce?
I can only see weird characters, but presumably your newsreader translates it
back into Italian before you see it.
In this case the reason is nothing to do with the Rete Civica.
You (and everybody else, me included) should remember *never* to use accented
characters in the message heading, because a lot of newsreaders can't cope
with them.
This header should have been written "Tanto OT, ma piu' OT di cosi'..." so
that it's legible by everybody.
My newsreader turned your accented u into a question mark, and the accented i
into the diphthong oe.
Most newsreaders *can* cope with accented characters in the body of the
message provided you use ISO-8859-1 (Eur. occidentale).

I'm sure I already asked this. But I'm a little bit short of vitamine Z
these days...
Shouldn't that be
the reason *has* nothing to do with... ?
I can't convince myself that it is right.
But a Queen is a Queen and to it *is* to be right.
What can I do , apart from a second lobotomy?

Senti carabinierina ;) e' chiaro ad entrambi che stiamo scherzando
giusto?!?!?!??
Anche se Diplomacy non e' nulla di piu' di un gioco in scatola per me... ok
ok qualche msg dopo l'ho letto! ;)


Adesso mi hai messo in crisi.
Mi sembrano giusti entrambi... o è che sono in Italia da troppo tempo?
Qualche altro madrelingua può confermare se "is" va bene qui?

 ' _has_ nothing to do with'.
Ma ragazze, state scherzando vero?  HAS!  Has!  definitely has!
The expression is "to have nothing to do with something"
The reason has nothing to do with the Rete Civica.
Take a look at these sentences:
I had nothing to do with that (could you use the verb "to be" and
say  "I was nothing to do with that"?)
I have nothing to do with your getting fired (could you say "I am
nothing to do with your getting fired?)
As Isa once pointed out, Peltio writes his posts at 3 or 4 in the
morning and it's no wonder that he would substitute "is" for "has".  At
that time of the morning it's a miracle that he can even type!
Anyway, you are both invited to come here and refresh your English even
though this is certainly not the best place on the planet for learning
your beautiful language.

your beautiful language.
What about myself? Don't you think this gracious quadrogynarchy should be
reunited under your roof?
Just imagine the four of us in San Francisco... 'queens' night out'!

Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching

Just imagine the four of us in San Francisco... 'queens' night out'!
Never without proper escort.
That's what knights are for...
saluti,
Peltio

 reunited under your roof?
Isa, my child, of course you are invited so let me know when you are
arriving.    Mi casa es tu casa!
I did not mention your name simply because I was answering Mary's and
Bambi's posts.
Did you know that Alitalia has now direct flights Milan-SF?  Do you
live anywhere near my beautiful city?
You can come for the new millennium and I will take you to the Haight-
Ashbury.  I hope you know what that is.
Peace
arianna

Se poi, quando sarete lì riunite tutte e quattro, 
vorrete ricordarvi di un'italiana in Venezuela, 
io vi aspetterò a braccia aperte a Maracay.

I haven't the faintest idea but I'm sure, if you suggest it, it must be
grand. See ya in Y2K then... XXX

A Queen's Night Out, as Isabella said, and where better than San Francisco.
You naughty one! :-))

Dear Isabella,
I deny any knowledge of your implication....I did NOT start this, you quite
plainly did. I merely picked up on your original suggestion. Still, it
should be fun, no?
I remain, as always,

One more joining in and it's final: the next icling meeting will take place
in Fr... oops, San Francisco. I'm sure 10 or 15 of us together might be able
to get a deal at a travel agent's for, say, Sunday to Sunday, or Ari could
look up some cheap accommodation... how do you like the idea guys and dolls?

P.S. Mi spiegate che cosa significa "Y2K" che ultimamente vedo sia qui
che su icli? Immagino abbia a che vedere col nuovo anno (Y=Year?) ma
qual'è il significato per esteso?
Grazie e ariciao
sempre me medesima :-)))

This reminds me of a funny thing that some friend sent to me a couple of
months ago. It's been around for a while, so you maybe already know
it. --Max
 The Y0K Bug
 Dear Cassius:
 Are you still working on the Y zero K problem?  This change
 from BC to AD is giving us a lot of headaches and we haven't
 much time left.  I don't know how people will cope with working
 the wrong way around.  Having been working happily downwards
 forever, now we have to start thinking upwards. You would think
 that someone would have thought of it earlier and not left it
 to us to sort it all out at this last minute.
 I spoke to Caesar the other evening.  He was livid that Julius
 hadn't done something about it when he was sorting out the calendar.
 He said he could see why Brutus turned nasty.  We called in Consultus,
 but he simply said that continuing downwards using minus BC won't work
 and as usual charged a fortune for doing nothing useful. Surely we
 will not have to throw out all our hardware and start again?
 Macrohard will make yet another fortune out of this I suppose.
 The money lenders are paranoid of course!  They have been told
 that all usury rates will invert and they will have to pay their
 clients to take out loans.  It's an ill wind ......
 As for myself, I just can't see the sand in an hourglass flowing
 upwards. We have heard that there are three wise men in the East
 who have been working on the problem, but unfortunately they won't
 arrive until it's all over.
 I have heard that there are plans to stable all horses at midnight
 at the turn of the year as there are fears that they will stop and
 try to run backwards, causing immense damage to chariots and possible
 loss of life.
 Some say the world will cease to exist at the moment of transition.
 Anyway, we are still continuing to work on this blasted Y zero K
 problem. I will send a parchment to you if anything further develops.
 If you have any ideas please let me know,
 Plutonius

 look up some cheap accommodation... how do you like the idea guys and
dolls?
Isa, first of all let me say this: if you don't know what the Haight
is, then you REALLY need to come here.  Haight-Ashbury is one of the
most famous intersections in America and probably in the whole world
and it's something most tourists miss.  I won't tell you what it is as
that is your homework assingment.
Secondly, I was not kidding when I invited you, Mary and Bambi.  Peltio
of course is a given and does not even need an invitation.  All he has
to do is call me from the airport and I'll be there in 10 minutes to
pick him up (I do live close to SFO).
Anyone esle who is nice and not allergic to cats can come too.  Some of
you can stay with me.
September and February are usually very nice months here (sunny and
warm).
ciao
arianna
PS: let me know when you are all arriving so that I can map out a nice
itinerary.

I will bear that in mind and maybe give February 2001 a thought... in the
meantime I await you in Italy in the Spring, don't I?
Thanks ever so,

 Paolo, This is very amusing. I will forward to Kris. All the best, Dick.
E' bello come la posta gira in Internet!!!

 you can stay with me.
That's very sweet of you Arianna, but a somewhat rash invitation; you're
liable to find yourself flooded with visitors from icling during the
holidays. :-)
You never know - one of these days I may manage to find my way across the
pond.
And unlike Isa, I have heard of Haight-Ashbury.
