Now there is a thought: Does it sound pleasant to you because you are accustomed to connect certain sounds to certain meanings and would it sound truly like swearing for somebody that comes from another language background? How do perception / reception and experience interact, boys and girls, that threatens to get lingo-metaphysical! SY

LOL I think that offer has long since gone. <3

Indeed! Trust me, the Spaniard with us has a whole repertoire of cussing to unleash. It just sounds really pleasant when she does it, which does defeat the object.

You will and you should, hey, if you don't want a free Mac, I take it off your hands any time! SY

Ok, so what you meant is that Spanish, despite having a legendary amount of swearing, doesn't sound like swearing to the Anglo-saxon ear ;-) Got it! SY

Sam - It's not that there aren't swearwords there, just that the sound of them isn't harsh enough. I could say 'Cer i grafi!' and you'd assume I was singing at you. (Apologies to all Welsh speakers reading. Belated language warning.) :)

Ember - I'm not doing the entire film! LOL But yeah, it would be an amusing read, if someone did.

Thank you for reading my stories; and planning on re-reading them! You are very kind. <3

I've had so many people tell me this. I had one friend willing to post one to me, just to prove that I'd love a Mac. I declined, though I do wonder if I should be regretting that one!

LOL I think it would probably amount to a pretty amusing retelling of Psycho XD

It's okay, I've read it already how it was meant to be received, for the most part, and so re-reading them is the time to find fun things :D I get to understand it on whole new levels why they're all such good reads, and so popular in that community ^.^

Thanks! BTW, if you have a chance, take a Mac for a test run, you will never look back ;-) SY

You are right, BrendaReeves, most people don't connect fairy tales with promises, or other important issues. But I believe our civilization is built on promises and we can learn a lot about them from fairy tales. In all those centuries they should pick up some wisdom after all...

I've never had to clean a Mac keyboard! However, I do have a Mac geek friend, who I'll hunt down and ask for you. :)

Any idea on how to clean these super-sealed Mac keyboards, there is nothing that I seem able to take apart. Only thing I discovered is to close down Mac and wipe the heck out of the keyboard with a microfiber cloth - any more ideas? SY

The feeling is entirely mutual, Spirit of RS. <3

Let's have a cyber high-five, followed by a pixel hug. *does the RS 'blows kiss' emote, while standing in front of you*

Yeah, sorry about that. <3 You can make anything creepy, as long as you use the right words. Conversely, you can make horrific things sound quite nice:

'Norman rhythmically jabbed the blade into Marion's body, while the lady was drenched in water.'

Does that sound like a great retelling of 'Psycho' to you? LOL

I thought you might guess the love story that I was on about. You'll never read it in the same light again, now you know that I sat here with a Thesaurus trying not to repeat 'prayer' over and over again. Not many other words as a synonym there!

In fact, are you ever going to be able to read my stuff as intended? You're seeing my writer's toolbox open here.
