My colleagues are always saying "performant" and it really gets on my tits. From dictionary.com: -ant suff. 1. 1. Performing, promoting, or causing a specified action: acceptant. 2. Being in a specified state or condition: flippant. 2. 1. One that performs, promotes, or causes a specified action: deodorant. 2. One that undergoes a specified action: inhalant. So if this made-up-word made it into the dictionary, the etymology of it suggests that it means "performing perform". Utterly fucking useless. Probably came from the Americans, masters of the single-word tautology; cf. burlgarize (I thought that was a joke when I first heard it.)

Keep your stupid little elitist attitudes to your fucking selves, and if you must rant keep the fucking slurs against Americans to your mumbling selves. We already understand your stupid, uneducated, elitist, incoherent attitudes that you're better than everyone else. I don't see Americans here slamming the UK on a daily basis, even though we could. And by the way... I can't remember a single fucking thing that came from England or the UK that was worth remembering other than a tyrannical king and a bunch of drunks. You complain about Informix, an AMERICAN product, as well as IBM, yet you do absolutely NOTHING to improve your lot. Go fuck yourselves.

If a bunch of people use a word, and mutually agree what it means, then it is a "word".

Funny, have you seen the stats on American public education. Us calling ANYONE uneducated is simply hilarious. > I don't see Americans here slamming > the UK on a daily basis, even though we could. They should just be grateful we aren't bombing them. > I can't remember a single fucking thing that came from England or the > UK that was worth remembering other than a tyrannical king and a bunch > of drunks. You complain about Informix, an AMERICAN product, as well > as IBM, yet you do absolutely NOTHING to improve your lot. Can't we all just get along. I mean we all have one thing in common: we all know that the former Informix execs were a troop of drooling morons who nearly killed off an excellent product through pure straight-up incompetence. If mutual contempt can bring people together I doubt anything can. Personally I'm grateful IBM took over the product, because otherwise it WOULD be dead by now. And the version 10 release has been very nice. And tech support has been excellent (other than that wretched train-wreck of a website, passport-to-frustration).

Are you people No, sometimes we complain about England as well. And the Scots. And boy, you should see how we lay into the Welsh. But really, the French get the most stick. And the Germans. > EVER happy or nice? Do you ever stop whining and complaining?

Well, if you'd bothered to read the whole thing, rather than picking on just the word "American", you would have noticed that we were bemoaning the lack of rigour in language, which is neither stupid nor elitist, but which is coherent and educated. If you're that paranoid about being picked on just because the Americans are the most frequent abusers of the English language, well, then, go and be a petulant little bitch somewhere else. > And by the way... > > I can't remember a single fucking thing that came from England or the > UK that was worth remembering other than a tyrannical king and a bunch > of drunks. English. The world wide web was invented by a Brit. Television. The inventor of the telephone was a Brit. The jet engine. Penicillin. Radar. The umbrella. Scuba gear. Submarines. Periscopes. Do I need to go on? > You complain about Informix, an AMERICAN product, as well > as IBM, yet you do absolutely NOTHING to improve your lot. That's what we do. > Go fuck yourselves. If you're going to moan about petulant little bitches, you might want to try not coming across as one. And if you're going to moan about people being uneducated and stupid, you might want to get the spelling right. -- Bye now, Obnoxio "C'est pas parce qu'on n'a rien ' dire qu'il faut fermer sa gueule" - Coluche did i mention i like nulls? heck, i even go so far as to say that all columns in a table except the primary key could/should be nullable. this has certain advantages, for example, if you need to insert a child record and you don't have a parent row for it, just do an insert into the parent table with the primary key value (everything else null), and voila, relational integrity is preserved. but this is, admittedly, a bit controversial among modellers. --r937, dbforums.com

As a native born America I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for further demonstrating, not that it was necesssary, why the rest of the inhabitants of this planet are justified in thinking less of us today than ever before. And painting the inhabitants of an entire country with a brush coloured by the postings of a few people posting to a usenet group: How well that speaks of us. Have you considered a position at the State Department? However, to be generous Double Echo, let me acquaint you with at least one thing that came out of the U.K. that you might have missed during your education: Calculus. But heck what value could that possibly have. -- Daniel A. Morgan http://www.psoug.org damorgan@x.washington.edu (replace x with u to respond)

Isaac Newton came from England. so did Andrew John Wiles and Oxford and Cambridge Universities. But I don't bitch about Americans just IBM.

You are a prize twat.

That was of course aimed at Double Echo....!!!

Begin rant I think this shows just how ignorant some people can be. Most Americans come from English stock, or have you studied a different history from everybody else. In general - I am disgusted at how quickly this topic descended into the mire of abuse. May I ask all members of this newsgroup to accept that not everybody thinks like they do, not everybody has the same grasp of English, or is of the same religion. And if somebody feels slighted by a posting, or wants to object to the language etc, they should reply to the author and not to the newsgroup or list. All it does is to cause even more clutter.

This is indeed a real problem. You have my full support in what you are saying and I am actively following this situation with the utmost care. I keep a keen eye on this and mind you the Queen Mother is also aware. Why don't you sit down and write a little letter to each of your brethren in the UK and share your thoughts about this. Certainly it will be a challenge to deal with that rabble in America, but perhaps the Queen Mother will be sympathetic to your cause, and we can band together to quash that uprising. Be mindful that previous attempts have gone unsuccessful to put them down, but I would ask you to endeavor to persevere in your activities and don't give up. Your efforts will be rewarded by the court I'm sure, and their may even be a position for you in the New World as a magistrate or some other position worthy of your stature. Do keep up the good work and say a good word for us the next time you visit her majesty. I shall remain in the shadows working hard to help you, and of course her majesty. Best Regards, -DE-
