Anybody notice how phonetically simmilar "honour" and "horror" are?

It remindes me of a conversation that I had with my Japanese teacher (back when I was taking Japanese), asking him why "no" (iie) and "house" (ie) were so simmilar. He told me it was probably just a meaningless coincedence. It bugged me: I wanted there to be some cool story about why the words sounded so much alike.

This is an article that means quite a bit to me. This is a problem I have all the time when making projects and I'm trying to explain to my non-programmer friends why I'm so happy with my completely blank screen I spent a couple months of free-time on.

I also think Doxygen is the most awesomest thing ever because it supports .NET style comments in addition to it's own commenting style (I won't have to change any of my documentation now. Yay!)

But when writing my comments I keep thinking how imprecice english has a tendancy to be (especially without emphasis and timing) and I keep wanting to use psudo-code notation to explain which phrases are grouped together and where to provide the central idea of a sentance.

That probably only made sence to me. Sorry.

I can program a VCR.

I live with the folks, so if my room gets too messy, I just move into the guest bedroom.
