Hey, if the poster in question wants to sound like a stupid teenager with no skills, that's their business, but they should at least be aware of it. How many micro-ergs of energy did they save by shaving off four characters? To me it's an indication of likely carelessness in coding style - I mean, if you can't even be bothered to spell out "because", how likely are they to include full Javadocs and logging in their code? You can be an apologist for laziness and stupid txtsp33k if you like, but someone's got to take a stand. "Cuz" that's just how I roll, cuz. Now to heck with you. -- Lew

I hope they will be able to still participate in this group's discussions from there, otherwise they will be sadly missed.

They're colloquial, so variations occur. OTOH, you would utter in astonishment, "The heck you say!" but not, "To heck you say!" As for your other post, Jeff, AIUI there are Internet connections in heck, but only over dialup. Luckily for Arne and Eric, my powers actually to banish someone to heck are protected by a giant mirror and I only wind up sending myself there. -- Lew |
