</span>Hi, Ron et al.<br>
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Perhaps a couple of
comments are permitted:<br>
<br>
Lowlands-L List kirjoitti:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Luc, I used "What's going on?" as a new-ish
American greeting, used a lot among younger people, especially males. So it
isn't a question. It took me a while to figure this out myself ... One of my
young friends calls me on the phone and says, "Hey, Ron! What's going
on?" and each time I'm tempted to answer it as a question. Apparently the
stock response is "Not much" even if there /is/ a lot. It all sounds
kind of masculine. Regards,</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">
Reinhard/Ron</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Masculine
or whatever, but I very much prefer "What's up doc?" and "What's
cookin' doc?" </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">PS: Having problems the last few days getting umlauts in Lowlands post. No matter what encoding I choose, they're
not coming through.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">My advise
would be to send the umlauts afterwards.<br>
<br>
That's all folks ;-) *<br>

on tullut kotiin, ja hän ei menetä luonteenomaisista huumoria. Tämä on
erityinen päivä. <br>
<br>
Kiitos paljon yksityisen viestin asiasta toiseen. En ole unohtanut
ystävällisyydestään, ja lopulta vastata viestiin ...<br>
<br>
Parhain terveisin,<br>

<br>
P.S.: Olen liittämässä muutaman umlautit varten erityistä nautintoa. Mutta
olkaa hyvä ja käyttää niitä vastuullisesti!<br>P.P.S.: Rakastan suomen kieltä, ja toivon, että minulla on riittävästi jäljellä vuotta oppia se kunnolla, kuten todellinen ihminen.</span></p>
