I'm guessing it's M A S S H O L E", and yes I'm proud to be one.

I can relate to all those, now that someone nicely put them in a format that doesn't give me seizures.

If anyone needs clarification on any of the more obscure ones, let me know. I actually get all the references on that list from "way back when" I used to live there. Scary.

Guilty... moved here from the west coast (Menlo Park, CA) when I was six, but apparently that was early enough for me to be a full fledged Massh0le

Went to the New England Golden Gloves tournament of champions in Lowell last night, the accents present were astounding!

paste the offending text in notepad

file
edit
replace
type . and one space
replace by
. and (br) but with <> brackets (can't do it here or it would just do a Break line in your browser)

replace all

paste the result back

only works on the internet browzers

ain't perfect, but fast
and depends on some kind of starting character before each sentence

I am pretty sure that there is a provision for that in office 07. But that is a bloody nightmare to run and I am in a college class learning it.

Write a bash or PERL script. Technically, when you hit enter to run the script, it'd be one keystroke.
