What does it say about you when you read this,

What does it say about you when you read this,

Keith Newton

without any confusion? I had to laugh out loud when I read this.

Repulfion the caufe of fome bodies fwimming in a fluid fpecifically lighter than them-felves.

I was searching for the answer to why some plant and small creatures attract condensation in the morning dew, hold the dew droplets as tiny spheres, and some get totally wet out with a film. Also the absorption of certain fibers relative to others.

I think seeing the spelling for the above means, while the text may be accurate, there is probably more recent research to be had elsewhere. It's funnier if you read it aloud.

If you substitute the original character which looks more or less like ʃ instead of f it is a bit less confusing, eh? I've waded through a few of ye olde English texts so maybe it is less of a problem for me.

When You Point A Finger

you point the other 4 at yourself.

Put it back in your socks drawer, Buck, and either let it be or find another place to pick a fight. There ain't no dogs here.

"Repulſion the cauſe of ſome bodies ſwimming in a fluid ſpecifically lighter than them-ſelves"

Alt0383 is the code for the Old English long "s".

Tells me that some one did not read Chaucer, lacks the curiosity to explore, did not learn science in school.

In other words, currently, a typical high school grad.
