How do you feel about my .sig?

It was created as a joke because I am apparently in fear and ignorance of big words, which I still dispute. You be the judge.

tell me, ok!

Ah shit, owned by non sig enabledness. :frowning:

I see a new rathergood.com video coming…

I think it is kind of funny and clever. “Mill” is spelled with two ls, though perhaps you know that and spelled it with one one on purpose.

One “l” I mean. :slight_smile:

There was two LLs before I posted this thread :confused: Don’t know where you got that from.

I’m pretty sure Mill is spelled Mill, not Mil. :confused:

I’m so confused.

My eyes are playing tricks on me. Sorry… I see now.

Yep, me too. Of course I can’t spell… but I think I can handle that one.
-Lil

(I was crying a bit so the two "l"s must have ran together.)

Plain English is good, and short words are good. However, some long words are irreplaceable - or at any rate, any attempt to replace them results only in more overall verbiage, albeit in smaller chunks. For example, if I were to describe myself as an antidisestablishmentarian, I would be using a word with a very well-established (sorry!) meaning, and those who needed to know what I mean would know. It would otherwise take a few sentences to get the meaning across. Bottom line: Read a dictionary.

Otherwise, it’s no worse a .sig than many, and better than some. Take the caps lock off though, IMHO.

Hmm. I like the rhyming, as it seems to match the level of vocabulary you’re using. I’d like it even better if there was a fourth line that rhymed with the third.

Don’t like the caps, though.

I actually noticed your sig on one of your posts last night and thought it was clever enough. The “(drum solo)” bit at the end is the zinger.

I wouldn’t use all caps though. It is a bit annoying to look at, and tends to make your sig appear to be more important than the content of your post.

Yeah, it’s stupid.

Sorry. Try again.

I don’t get it. :confused:

A whole bunch of people think I have a ‘irrational fear’ of big words, which is simply untrue. And my sig pokes fun at such a idea.

Mil: 1/1000th of an inch. Yes, it’s a real word. And it’s small.
