Newsgroup: it.cultura.linguistica.inglese
Titolo: FAQ English version

Dear Realmers,
As some of you may already have seen, an English version of the FAQ is
appearing (in sections) on our rather splendid homepage.
(
http://web.tiscali.it/peltion/TheRealm/index.html
)
(In truth, one section is currently in Italian, but have faith we will soon
have a uniform set of documents)
From this, one may deduce that the undersigned has finally completed and
forwarded them to our truly gallant K.I.S.A. Peltio, who is undertaking the
task of placing them on ICLing's homepage.  Many thanks to him of course
for this rather mammoth undertaking.
Periodically, I shall post a message here to this group reminding interested
parties of the group's URL as well as informing them that they can find
the FAQ on the newsgroup it.faq. It seems unnecessary, given the existence
of this latter group  to post the full version here also.
*All* comments and suggestions regarding the FAQ are welcome and shall be
duly processed and incorporated into subsequent revisions. It is intended
that revisions appear every two months (unless I am able to do so on a
monthly basis, but I think it safer to assume not at this stage). You are
asked therefore, to have a look at the document and note down any thoughts
for inclusion you may have in their regard and to then send them on to me
via e-mail.
I should like publically to say a big thank you to everyone who assisted in
the compilation of the document - they were many and it is to them that we
owe the existence of the offcial it.cultura.linguitica.inglese FAQ.
An Italian version is in the process of being completed and an update
on that will follow as soon as may be.
Thanks to all again,

something wrong somewhere :(

 something wrong somewhere :(
Dear Paolo,
What went wrong, as it so often does is quite simply my spelling.
Oops.
Apologies and sympathy for the bad weather you're having.
Try this new and improved URL

 something wrong somewhere :(
Dear Paolo,
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
My first response contained yet another typo for which I sincerely
apologise. Who knows maybe the following is the URL I was trying to write!
http://web.tiscalinet.it/peltio/TheRealm/index.htm

 Thanks to all again,
Un bacio e buona settimana a tutti ^_^.

Dear Bambi,
I suspect you 'd better ask to our blue alien KISA if everything has been
properly set up.
The link does not work, although the address to Peltio's page is correct in
this last form. But, in Peltio's page there is no link to the FAQ, so I
think the sacred lines are still to be uploaded.
Unless, like the last time, there is a series of tricks to know to access
the site, like pushing question marks and innocent banners, burning bat
powder while wearing a top hat (er, wearing  a top hat ONLY ?), and conjure
some other magical spells.
Faithfully yours
Giorgio

and here we miss an l after html
I guess the correct address is :
http://web.tiscalinet.it/peltio/TheRealm/index.html
But to be sure is is better to use one of our gates:
http://welcome.to/TheIlluminatedRealm
http://welcome.to/Icling
I must apologise for my lazyness, but this is a hot week, despite the
temperature has fallen.
saluti,
Peltio

Dear inhabitants of this Most Illuminated Realm, even if I don't post very
often, I'm always here lurking around.
Bambi, Peltio,  I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful work you've done
with that web site. Really, many compliments and thanks because it's
precious! I'm sure a lot of people will be grateful. I really loved it but
the part with the pronunciation poem with the audio that can be downloaded
is fantastic (as well as useful for my pronunciation... :)!
You're marvellous, but you already know that!
;)
Marina

 is fantastic (as well as useful for my pronunciation... :)!
See, those are Martin Kenny's gift. From a poem introduced to us by HRH
Bambi, if I remember correctly.
Besides I must apoligise for the time it's taking to convert the doc to
HTML but there is a nasty 'formatted' style that is causing me a lot of
problems, and I have to wade throughout every single line to realign
everything.
See for yourselves on page 3 of the faq to see the raw version.
Now, about that fee...
saluti,
Peltio

 versione italiana delle FAQ.
Dear Mariuccia,
It is the generous spirit of others such as you which has led to the FAQ
being compiled and posted on our homepage. Your offer of help is noted and
sincere thanks. Rest assured that if needed, we will call.
Hoping you are well,

 Now, about that fee...
Would you believe the cheque is in the mail?
Warm regards as always,


Would you believe the cheque is in the mail?
Dear Peltio,
do not trust our wonderful Queen. I'm sure she's spent all of the
money on the bolly.
In other words: check the cheque. :-)))

***check the check***
USA mode OFF

 Would you believe the cheque is in the mail?
In the mail?
In the MAIL ?
The *Italian mail*?
Oh, woe is me.
warmest regards nonetheless,
YHS Peltio

 do not trust our wonderful Queen.
Lo! Kill thy words in thy throat, before 'tis too late to save your
sinning soul.
Fair gentleman, I do protest. Is this the way to speak to a Queen?
Whence grows this insolence?
I pray thee, speak now a word to excuse the injuries thou hast done or
prepare to draw your sword.
Er... in the meantime I'll go check the cheque.
saluti,
Peltio

 In other words: check the cheque. :-)))
Dear Frank,
What is it _exactly_ that you place in your pipe and smaoke?  The evidence
on hand would seem ti suggest a substance far stronger than mere tobacco.
Or is it perchance, the rust from your armour has in some manner penetrated
your blood system and caused some form of poisoning which in turn has lead
to delirium?
We would be most shocked by your response were it not for the small matter
that in point of fact some Bolly was purchased and imbibed with great gusto,
toasting, as one did, the good health of our resident alien for his many
splendid deeds.
Hoping in your swift recovery,


 YHS Peltio
Dearest Peltio,
Indeed not the Italian mail! You would have good cause for being woeful were
that the case.
I engaged the services of ICLing's  very own, trustworthy and speedy
I.R.P.E. [Pony Express]. (The horses being donated to the Realm by the
dealer in charge of the sale of the fleet of Red Buses which we purchased
not so long ago but which so far have not been used save to escort the Lady
Ann on her daily jaunts, she being disinclined to ride cross saddle).
Save for the time required to make a few stops for oats and hay, you should
expect the rider to be with you any day now.
Hoping this news is of some small comfort,


 Er... in the meantime I'll go check the cheque.
Dear Peltio,
Is it any wonder you are our most belovèd K.I.S.A in The Realm?
We stand answerèd and assurèd of out Honour.
I pray thee however, to bear in mind that perchance our errant Knight, Sir
Frank, was not himself when penning such treacherous thoughts and mayhap a
visit to the loony bin would better aid he who was once close to Our heart..
We wish him a speedy recovery, and for you oh gallant homme, please accept a
small token of our appreciation, dispatched this morn by yet another rider
of the IRPE - a highly prized lotion for your coat of armour, sure to make
it gleam and shine more brightly than it does even now.
Er...has the cheque arrived?


 Er...has the cheque arrived?
Well, to tell the truth... no.
But I think it'd be better to wait until the FAQs are all set up.
It will take a few more days for the English version.
It was a busy week.
best regards,
Peltio

 But I think it'd be better to wait until the FAQs are all set up.
Dear Peltio,
This would be exactly the reason why the cheque has not yet arrived.
We knew you would wish it to be payment on completion of task, and so...
