My favourite, recently (although not on here), was, 'She was wearing a turbine and a long robe.'

Obviously, one of those "fast" women then.

I have decided to leave the board, i am not on here a whole lot anyways, another reason, I was reading through the puncuation and grammer, i am quite appalled how intolerant some are with those, who don't use proper grammer, puncuation, and proper spelling, i am leaving before i get talked down to and flamed for my bad grammar, spelling, and puncuation, i just do not want to be talked down to or flamed.


This is a great board and i do leave this board on peaceful terms. So adios to you all, and good luck with your jack the ripper research.

If you want you can contact me by msn messenger or facebook

You can't leave-----all the plants will die!

Seriously, don't leave. just by the sympathetic and sincere responses you can tell this is a great board with thoughtful posters.

I guess turbines are more socially acceptable than certain other forms of headgear in France these days

Is a turban powered flying device a magic carpet? Dave

let me try that again!

yes, well, obviously me as well !

Otherwise, talking of images, have you seen that experimental film of a staged
football match where a man dressed in a gorilla suit suddenly runs onto the pitch, beats his chest, and rushes off (just for a few seconds) ?

The fact is, that when questioned on the film, nearly nobody has noticed the 'gorilla'...

...which neatly brings us back to the reliability of witnesses in the JtR case.[/QUOTE]
That sounds like a separate perceptual limitation of humans, called scotoma. This is an on-board observer filtering based on the the observer's anticipation of seeing something. There is an actual physiological form of scotoma which results in the skewing of perception due to physiological malfunction. In short, EVERYONE cannot say with certainty what the perceive by virtue of being a human being. Dave

Hello Ruby, that sounds like a separate issue called scotoma. Essentially this is the on-board interpretive bias of the observer. If you do not expect to see something in the image, you are much more likely not to. This is a documented facet of human perception as well. Dave

if there is a way to screw it up, I will

Hi Rubes,

I would never attempt to correct you or anyone for 'enormus' - it's obviously a simple case of missing out an o while typing quickly, something we all do. Besides, it's not funny enough.

I have a theory that we are probably all dyslexic to one degree or another, hence the difficulty with proofreading our own work. I have what I like to call east/west dyslexia. I have no trouble at all with left/right or north/south, but whenever I come across east or west, spoken or written, it's like a foreign language. I have to really think about it and I've always been the same. With east I have to think of India and with west it's Cornish cream teas, or I just can't get my bearings.

I'd make a horrible weather girl.

Love,

Caz

Hello Caz,
You are indeed correct. When we compile sounds in our minds we use what linguistic anthropologists call phonemes. These are representations of the sound in our mind, our mind currency when expressing ourselves. The problem often arises, that when we read what we have written, that we are in fact parroting the representation string and not reading what is actually typed. The problem is much more pronounced in spoken communication, and applies to images as well. This is a cross cultural feature and appears to be the case with the entire species. At least that is what the charged me for to learn at school, but, as we all know by now, if there is a way to screw it up, I will. Dave
