RE: jive (was RE: was this really necessary?): msg#00612

Subject: RE: jive (was RE: was this really necessary?)
This is what happens when you try to write a mail whilst your boss is
talking to you and you're supervising an OS X fix at the same time. The post
was obviously talking about the software "jive", not the dialect.

That should read "didn't come into it".

"wanting to make fun" reads better.

Sorry, just in case it didn't make sense. Incidentally, as to whether you
think jive is appropriate or not, I don't care about. I doubt I would post
stuff up in an attempt to make fun of a particular dialect. I also doubt I
would use software written with the express intent of causing racial abuse
to do it as well. Just my 0.02GBP.
