Nope, Matt it still won’t let me see. This is the message I get. STOP IT! Sorry, but we do not allow linking to any files on the Crosswinds server except for our members HTML files. Linking directly steals bandwidth and is very inconsiderate of our members. If you want to link to the sites on Crosswinds, link to their main page or any html file in their account so that their site gains attention and visibility on the Web. ---

Saluton! Yes, “Ayesha” IS very beautiful in proper letters… 🙂 Mattchjo, sxajnas, ke via servilo mem estas “tre nekonsiderecxa”. Estas _vi_, kiu devas havi la poveco de elekti cxu vi rekte disdonas viajn pagxojn kaj permesi rektajn ligilojn, cxu ne? Matt\_mcl, it seems that your server itself is “very inconsiderate”. It’s _you_ who should have the power to decide whether to distribute your pages and allow direct linking… -Sunspaco ---

Hey, matchjo: can you please translate this (I’ve left it generic, so other people can use it too.) Hey, you pointy-haired idiots! Give me a raise because I am the best damn \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ at this company. I intend to use that as my sig for my business correspondence. Thanks tons. I’m going to go to the library tonight and get an esperanto book. ---

I thought “sciencfikcio” was pretty easy compared to “sfeniskinistino”–six syllables, and the only indication of stress on the penult?! Then I noticed that you were accenting the “ci” instead of the “fik” (seems wrong to this English/Spanish/German-taught ear); THEN i noticed the “c” (like German “z”) preceded by “s”–_that’s_ hard. (But it’s NOT “st’see”; it’s “s’tsee”–thus a cousin of the Russian “shch” phoneme.) ---

I was using the apostrophe to indicate that the consonants had to be each articulated clearly. Also, in Esperanto, all words are pronounced with the accent on the second-last syllable. BAL-dau, KVAN-kam, A-pud, sciencfik-CI-o, sfeniskinist-IN-o. ---
