Nup **** is not allowed.

That's why they invented the inverted exclamation mark ¡, it's for usage instead of the i when the above happens . .

For me the ¡ character is accessible by hitting the ‘‘Alt Gr’’ and ‘‘1’’ key simultaneously, so "no **** allowed" becomes "no sh¡t allowed"

Thank you Angelique for sorting that out although I have no idea what you are talking about.

Although you worked out the word I was trying to say rather than the word hoytedow thought I was trying to say.

In Australia the word I was trying to say is acceptable and the word Hoytedow thought I was trying to say is probably OK.

It reminds me of some American athletes who were interviewed on TV

Thanks Angelique.

At least, you have indicated the word I was trying to say, (in Australia socially acceptable) rather than the word Hoytedow thought I was saying (marginally acceptable).

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.

We joined the forum in the same year Hoyt, I didn't realise it was six years ago already . .

I share your feelings about the forum and I'm glad to have such an amiable person as yourself around here to learn about boats and life . . .

You are being kind. I am a rank amateur by any comparison. I lack formal training in this field and bow to your vast knowledge. :idea:

Hoyt you're too kind, it's as Richard (Apex1) once said in a later removed post . . .

‘‘ The ability to Google fast is no substitute for a solid education. ’’​

I'm from the former category here and try to learn from the latter because their knowledge is widely distributed over these great forums

In the meantime we have some fun as well, and sometimes even learn about life . .

The usage of an inverted exclamation mark instead of an i when a word with an i is blocked.

So it reads as an i but the controller doesn't notice, kinda VW thing so to say . . .
