Modern Times

It's all getting complicated! Seems that they've modernised things, and as usual they no longer work!
Used to be you put your talking smiley on with a click, now it seems you have to put a URL with it!
They put little red dotted lines under words they consider badly spelled - or not spellt in the US English fashion!
That's new as well - cheeky s--ds, correcting MY English.
Example? SPELT has little red dots under it, but SPELLED doesn't. How about tomatoe?
Nope - no red dots - wait a tick, its just suddenly got measles! - tomato seems to be ok! Then again, OK isn't OK (at least not when it's written - I avoid the word spelt - ok)
What happens if I spill the spelt? Do I have to spilled the spelt, or spelt the spilled? Either way, I don't care, go away, leave me alone to make no mistakes in my own way!
HERE ARE MY SMILIES - hope they work this time! Well, I now know that they won't work, because you would all have to update your version of Smiley! Great thing this modern life!!!
Google are trying to take over the World! and these guys can't talk about it!

There we are, boys and girls - modernized! (even the word modernised with an "S" isn't accepted!)
What can one do? Buy Google and change back, or just ignore them!
Hoooey-fooey!

A bit of their history is here: http://www.graftingardeners.co.uk/history-londons-commons/ and some are used by the well known  London Buses. Some are criss-crossed by main roads, some have public golf courses, some have tennis courts, both in concrete and in grass.... The special thing about these 'Commons' is their size....They are immense. In pure ground value they must be worth billions of billions of pounds sterling, and yet there is rarely any attack made on their status. It is rather astounding! Just for the record, there is another, ...

One God's ideas sometimes work in with another one's.......! But the real philosophies are varied.... and there's always an easy way out or to avoid the issue!
