I see the evidence for it as a mental concept, and I accept it as a single consonant of the English alphabet. But outside our brains it is just a mixture of physical phenomena without meaning..

I expect AB will be along directly to tell us it has something to do with souls.

And BA, JC, Sassy and Hope will tell us that we are all heretics for denying that "r" is a precious gift from God for which we should all be truly thankful.

Like everyting else, r-ism is just all in the mind; I really can't believe that some people still take it seriously in this day and age.

On a lighter note I quite like Cyber's 'talk like a pirate day' idea so whilst in Ladbrokes this afternoon I intend to dazzle the staff with my best Robert Newton (the best LJS ever) impersonation.

All I need now is the parrot and an appropriate hat.

Actually, I was going to ask whether Sriram is suggesting that we all learn 'r' (more widely known as 'R') - the programming language and software environment for statistical computing and graphics.

This could about the finding that the Scottish accent has started losing pronunciation of "r" in certain positions in words, thus losing a characteristic distinguishing it from other English and US usage.

As far as I'm concerned the r-ists should be free to worship as they please, whether r or any other consonant, so long as they don't start telling others that they need to worship the same letters too, or that their letters believe that you shouldn't be able to shop in a Tuesday or whatever.

Presumably Countdown is a polytheistic Songs of Praise for letterists?

I am sorry.

I got the Forbidden 404 message every time I tried to post since yesterday. So..I tried just something today and it got posted...but I couldn't modify or delete it after that. Very funny thing! Those pesky little fairies or elves or something must have been busy here! ;)

Anyway I am glad you people are having some fun over it.  :D

Cheers.

Its not bad as a Zen practice to take something random like 'r' and give it meaning. Hey...you guys are good at it!  :)

Maybe I should have let it be for some more time.
