I have enough of a hard time spelling the right way, it would really suck if I picked up on this!

my mom still uses the phrase "gettin' jiggy with it". I taught her what it meant in 1997.....she STILL uses it.

The English language NEVER ceases to amaze me. I love how it's always changing.
I mean, you couldn't do that with Chinese, I don't think.

Someone spell 'pwn3d' with Chinese characters, please.

lolllll. That's crazy stuff. Ya, try that with chinese characters....or even french....pwenoedjfggk (extra letters are silent, but are nonetheless crucial to the word's spelling and meaning. A different spelling would mean a completely different word! Oh no!). Whatever. Wasn't "gettin' jiggy with it" from Will Smith in Men in Black? That song?
