It's called 'ability'.

Acknowledges... so did I. But you kept saying 'technically it isn't 
correct' and the same applies to 'could care less'.

Brainwashed: nope. Cybersyphilitic (if you could spell that - gold star 
for such a long word, though): similarly nope. Double-digit IQ? Last time 
I checked it was 129. I'm not petty enough to ask for yours.

Thought it might be less confusing :)

I wasn't criticising your cartoon in the first place. To be honest I 
can't even remember it. You are clearly artistically talented and I'm not 
going to suggest that /you/ should 'get a life' - which, incidentally, I 
do have. Intelligence and fun are not mutually exclusive. However you 
seem to be the one who spends too much time on Usenet.

Byee!
