Linda, doing your will is tough.
Though this is a sticky situation, your inquiry should find affirmation. I think you'll find that my post will comply with your tricky command. In fact, it took substantial thought. Now that my thought is thoroughly said, I'll go forth to our political spot.

Shit! This is hard. I don't think I can do it without using that spurious symbol.

I find it worrying that your post took so much thought, oh mighty spud.
I will gladly assist with tutoring. Sunday's at four. Punctuality will count in your favour.

Ouch! My difficulty is not common. I'll just claim that it was a slow morning. Yup, that'll do it.
To a particular man in South Africa: I'll look at you with favor for your kind proposition.

What is so difficult about this task? It is no major thing to do so. I scoff at you that fail to know such a vocabulary. This man has no such limits.

a book is out using this notion, that symbol following "D" and prior to "F" is not seen from front to back.

Did you know it's the most common symbol in a dictionary? Surprisingly, it's not that hard to avoid.
I find I work without difficulty, stopping only should I approach a word for which I do not know many synonyms.

... a sort of licensed troubleshooter.

An old fantasy accounts an affair most diacritic. A man was on vacation; calm, cool, halcyon. This man (call him Bill) found a magic lamp on a particular bank of a pond. *Rub, rub, rub* and *whoosh!!* stood a dwarf. agog, Bill did gulp, "Who...what ar.." "I am a dwarf. You may call this dwarf, Bill!" Bill gasps again. "My alias is Bill, also!!" Bill (dwarf) said, "Huh, abnormal, but not fully amazing."
An accord lasts still to this day among Bill and Bill. Last edited by Willravel; 04-18-2006 at 08:23 PM.. Reason: damn it |

will, I fail to find humour in your story. Mayhaps it's situational, or on use of vocabulary forbidden by linda.
But I find it not at all difficult to avoid using that which is forbidden. It's imposing an odd sort of diction, but it's not all that hard to do. If I'm to avoid lying, I'm having a lot of fun composing a post lacking that which must not be said. I find I'm musing on how valid such a task would look if I would omit a dissimilar symbol?

Sion is good at spotting that amiss with the posts of his companions. I had thought to omit that which Sion highlights, but I forgot to do so, I'd say.
