lower case 'g' for 'god' ?

[Trevoke]

I don't know how all the situations are taken care of.
I know that it's an upper-case for the Christian God.
What about several gods? what about no god? What about... ?
When is it upper case and when is it lower case?

Fair enough.

I should've been clearer in stating that what I said applies to nouns that can be either common or proper, as in the example of system administrator.

Cajun, if you know what's good for you, you will *always* capitalize Systems Administrator, because they have the Power. Yes, with a capital 'P'.

[CRilliterate]

Does anyone actually need this much knowlege like you two, three...four?

 

[Trevoke]

Of course! A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and I want to be very dangerous, so I want to have a lot of a little knowledge.

[CRilliterate]

I was smart once but I decided I am waisting my time on all this useless in fact information. So I quit and now I am waiting my time without realizing it so I am basically free.

 

[Trevoke]

I've never tried to waist my time before. How does it work? I certainly hope it's not a waste.

I'll be quiet now.

[CajunCenturion]

==> waist my time

I suppose that could be considered the time spent eating dessert.

Or maybe I'm confusing that with waisting my thyme.

Perhaps Mackinac Island.

Or, post-Katrina, Grand Isle at the south end of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.

[Trevoke]

This is ridiculous.
Wherever there is technology, there will be IT.

[CRilliterate]

There is NO technology. It is 3x1 1/2 mile Carribean Island name Solarte. I would recommend it to worned out ITs to clear their heads and to thin their knowlege layer. See you there. I have to buy tickets yet.

Happy New Year wizards!!!

 

[SamBones]

Unless you swim to the island, there is technology there.

 

[SF0751]

And unless you leave your cell phone/laptop/iPod/etc. at home, there will be (more) technology when you arrive!

[elanor]

Heck...if you wear clothes, you'll bring technology with you! I guess you'll have to swim there buck naked!
Thanks!

[SamBones]

Hmmmm, swimming to a tropical paradise buck naked sounds kind of fun! Where do I sign up?

 

[tsdragon]

Count me in too! I know how to fish and build a fire.

For you are crunchy, and good with mustard.

 

[elanor]

Uh oh...that sounds mighty technological to me, Tracy. We may have to vote you off the island!
Thanks!
Elanor

 

[CRilliterate]

Oh, well, my family said they aren't going so I can take you guys. Have anyone seriously checked this Island out? 3x1 1/2 mile piece of land. Isn't it a little Heaven?
Tracy, how long do you rub those sticks to get some fire?
