[QUOTE=Orual] GAH! It’s Karma. **KARMA.** [Kharma](http://www.kharma.com/) is a Dutch company that makes speakers.

[QUOTE=devilsknew] **You** are simply leaving out the gutteral, silent “H”. [/QUOTE] Or conforming to the correct English spelling, because that’s the language we’re using here. [QUOTE=Oxford English Dictionary] Karma Also karman. ``` In Buddhism, the sum of a person's actions in one of his successive states of existence, regarded as determining his fate in the next; hence, necessary fate or destiny, following as effect from cause. Also in Hinduism. ``` Latterly adopted by Western popular ‘meditative’ groups. ``` Hence karmic a., pertaining to, relating to, or concerning karma. ``` [/QUOTE] > [@](#): > > I can’t help it if you are little wheeel. Well that’s just not even a complete sentence. ---

**devilsknew** , in all seriousness, is English your first language? A “no” answer would be revelatory, even if it would take all the fun out of lampooning your habitually nonsensical posts. (On preview: I just got 8,250,000 Google hits for the word “wierd,” so I’m not sure I’d be using that to bolster my claim.) ---

So the “h” is both silent _and_ guttural? The paradoxes just drip from this guy: he _must_ be legit! The hits for “Kharma” all seem to stem from proper names, names of businesses, band names (!), and other people who can’t spell “karma.” Here’s a simple rule: “Dharma” has an H; “Heliodrome” has an H; “Preparation” has an H; “Karma” has no H. Or, to appease any mystic masters in the room, let’s just say that it does have one, but it’s not only guttural but silent, it’s present but invisible. And takes up no space. And only parakeets know for sure if it’s there. That oughta hold 'em for a while. ---

[/QUOTE] Yeah, and there’s 3 million hits for “cemetary” and a similar amount for “independant”. Just because an idiot who can’t spell puts “kharma” on a website, doesn’t legitimize the spelling. No English dictionary I’ve looked at includes kharma as even an alternate spelling of karma. But I’ve already wasted far too much time on your dumbfuckery. I rather suspect it’s deliberate obstuseness. Or you post while high. ---
