Somebody get me a splinered ruler.
?  What is "splinered"?  A ruler with splines? (1)

Oh yeah...  A spliner, as in a "spline", you know, it's pretty tangental.  A
tengental ruler.  A straight-edge for curves.  Yeah, that's the ticket.

*sigh*  Stupid typing tricks.  The results of a typing of passion.  :-P

I'm sure even the best typist has them, but I've really been indulging lately.
What's the cure, other than using a *shudder* spelling checker?

(...) Oh, didn't think of that one, I thought he missed the "t" and was going for splintered. A splintered rular would be mighty painful. Sharp little wooden suckers stuck in the skin. Just be careful how you handle it. Jason F. (25 years ago, 17-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
