Hey now, I use that term quite often, although it is almost always spoken. It
is a wonderful insult to people who think they are better than somebody else
and have a holier than thou attitude, which makes me sick.
Now phlegmatic is one I would not use very often.
I always thought that QU should just become Q and that C can be replaced by K
or S in any instance. My personal belief is that a new language will need to
be created if interstellar travel is ever attempted. It would need to be
deciphered as easily as possible, have no exceptions to the rule and be based
in binary (as opposed to base 10) for numbering systems.

| (...) Now see, if you were really good, you'd use Trinary instead of binary. Although I confess I get a cramp holding my fingers in half up, down or up positions for any length of time. (Glad you never called ME a Pharisee! :-) ) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
