Plenty of other reasons... It's much more secure, the interface is much nicer, it puts your address history in order of use not alphabetical order, so you don't have to search through hundreds of sites you've been to once to find, say, "google" once you've typed in g, it's right there at the top, the browser is noticably faster, all the addons and stuff you can get for it are fantastic (currently, I have an addon that improves the download manager, which is already much better than IE's, an addon that blocks unwanted adverts and scripts, one that allows you to edit the source code on the fly, one that allows you to route your connection through a bunch of proxies if you're completely paranoid, one that allows you to pop up previews of links without fully opening them, a couple of navigation menus for sites I use a lot, various addons to the search bar so I can search all the useful sites rather than the crap IE gives you, probably some others I've forgotten...)...

Sure it is...

By the way what did you get on your last spelling test?

i know you weren't asking me but i got under 50% on my last one :D lowest mark in the class!

I don't get them anymore - thank god. I got 65 on my last one - in grade five. Our school system has the once you get past grade school lets hope you can spell your own name policy.

Same here.
Except that we can spell better than our lousy evil Language Arts/grammar teacher.

that was only last year :P most english teachers dont give anyone them. however ours gives us them when we manage to convince her that we have already done everything she has prepared for the lesson.

athena, i couldnt spell my own name on my french paper in year 7.

I haven't had a spelling test since I was 11.

lucky <_< im told that this teacher still gives you them when you are doing your A levels, it is the same spelling test from ages 11-19. she thinks we should get better. fat chance.

My teacher has the habit of starting to wright one word on the board, then going to another word, then going to another word, then going back to finish a word or two, etc. So one day, she was writing the word "assignment" and only got through the first sylallable before moving on to the next word. She never remembered to finish "assignment". No one told her. And then the principle walked in...

Um I'm pretty sure I can spell my own name. It was just a point I was trying to make - as in IF you don't know how to spell your name by the time your 11 your usually in trouble.

Go for it. We must protect our natural heritage.

The blonde gene can survive recessively, no?

Meh...my hair is black, straight and average. But most people in my area dye it red.

And spelling was the most chill class ever. We got stickers! :wub:

I never had a spelling class.

I don't do magic.

Ok, bad joke...

Black hair isn't ordinary! Most people just have really dark brown hair.

Really?

Is that in your area or everywhere?

I'm the only person in my class that has black hair. So it's not ordinary here.

Outside of Europe and North America, Little except black exists. So, it is ordinary.

Oh. Right. Look at Japan and China.

What? Chinese are never blonde, and Blonde Japanese have interbreed with americans at some point in their family history.

my school have loads of black haired people because of all the chinese girls. not that you would see that in the prospectus or website...
