Greetings, all. I simply can't resist the fun of correcting Eli's
recent post. After all, the list administrator gets no special
treatment {{:-)

Having talked to him RL, I think he meant "movie"meywIj

Needs to be DIja'chuqmo'

No ' on je

Masterful {{:-) It's sort of a borderline grammar case, but I think
it's legal and would be clearer if you put an 'ej between bachbogh
and HoHbogh.
>nuq chaH "movie"mey'e' 'e' parHa' tlhInganpu'?
Last time I checked, movies weren't sentient beings. bIH, not chaH.
Also, needs to be luparHa'. One of the easiest mistakes to make.
>"movie"mey 'oH nuq'e' 'e' ghaj vay'?
Ok, this time we got the sentiency issue right, just missed the
numerics-- should be bIH again, not 'oH.
