That's obviously not possible, and it has nothing at all to any distinction between the term and the words. It has to do with how countries define the term, not the dictionary. If it's a "term" then you write it capitalized or within quotation marks, so that it is not confused with the dictionary meaning. This isn't rocket science. You could alternatively write "(has) permanent ressidence status". You sometimes write the abbreviation for NZ in lower case. I probably had a tired finger that day, or I was using the other hand to keep the cat off the keyboard - did you get all confused between the nation and the Urdu word for 'golden dung beetle'? You seem to be confused, despite previously explaining it, there is no difference in meaning whether I type "permaent resident" or "Permanent Resident". Of course there is - unless you can explain to me what you would type if you were trying to say permanent resident - which I'm sure you were. if I am discussing immigration status. You seem confused by this, but we are not confused by meaning when you type "nz" |

I left it at "some credits" Do you want me to write an FAQ for the entire US Tax Code? Not at all - unless you feel the need to post something useful to Wikipedia. |

If they have computers with free internet access at the K-Marts, putting them in asylums isn't an impossible task. I did in my childhood live in what might be called "asylums" - my father ran them. |

It's possible that the first or an early example of the series of products may have actually borne the "PC" designation, but the term soon passed into the more generic usage. I can barely recall my first desktop, 1985 or so, an NCR with 2 5.25" floppies combined with the CPU and the Monitor, all in single heavy package. Ok, so you were a later starter. I guess that's not your fault. I have spoken to the person originally in control of the machine and am satisfied with it's liniage. Unless I was present and holding Mac's heavy forequarters whilst he was breeding, I was never certain of the LINEAGE of the pups whelped by the bitch in question. That's where English Bulldogs differed from my Jack Russlls today. Old Mac was dead set on the evolution, dogged and determined in his efforts, but physically unable to accomplish it without somebody to hold him. Elijah, the Jack Russell, a dead ringer for the King of Tonga's prize male, is well able, but easily distracted by alternatives or surroundings. As for Hannah, my JR bitch, she ain't gonna stand still for anything, much less getting screwed. Proggy, by any standard, you've got to be denser than any of the other members of genus misanthropiae I've encountered to date... In that case it's a good thing you don't have any standards. |

This is interesting, coming from a person in a country without a currency called "dollar" until 1967. Since the Kiwi dollar is worth less than a US dollar, do you think NZ is short changing people? You're surely not mistaking the NZ Dollar for the US dollar??? Ours has just one line through it ($) Five years ago our dollar was worth US 49c, now it's US78-80c. I guess by the end of the year they will be equal. I knew you would make a comment about the USD recent decline in value. However, the NZD was once worth 1.28 USD, so I guess the NZD is just now starting to recover. Forget the damn sybol. You call it a dollar, we call it a dollar. This is in response to your complaints about the US gallon being different than a NZ gallon and trying to short-change people due to the smaller amount. |
