Chafu, what a terrific idea. Or maybe we could have a "Tech Skills for Posting" thread.

btw I noticed your response to that post of mine with the word "snip" heading it: very clever and elegant of you. That usage ought maybe to be part of the "Skills", in order to make it clear the quote is partial.

Chafu, I always read you avidly. Avidly. And think of you as Charlie Fuller. Hope that's OK.

I like the idea of one area where these tech issues are collected.

Who's Charlie Fuller? Can't say if that's OK or not, since I have no idea who he is.

Respect!

aha...clever. Thought it might have been a TV character, and I stopped watching TV over 35 years ago.

"Chafu" is actually a word in a foreign language. "213" is my "lucky" number.

This can't be it of course, but the idea of 213 cum stains on someone's clothing is hot.

...gives the opposite definition. But then again the Inuit have 100 different words for snow. Check out "snow marked by wolves" and "marked by Eskimos".

As a noun, chafu means dirt in Swahili, but as an adjective, it means "dirty", and since I have a "dirty" mind, thought it was appropriate.

Technically I should add an adjectival prefix according to the Noun class the modified noun belongs to.

So a dirty person would be "mtu mchafu", a dirty spoon, "kijiko kichafu", dirty water "maji machafu", etc.

I LOVE Swahili. It's very easy to learn, quite organized, and very mathematical (which is my main subject as a teacher). Even irregulars have rules that they follow.

Oops, guess I am totally off topic.
