Title: Re: el lagarto Post by phobos on May 23rd, 2003, 11:52pm The interesting part is those boxes will even move if you try to highlight them. |

Title: Re: el lagarto Post by Speaker on May 25th, 2003, 5:13pm The little boxes are appostrophes and esses. (Let 19 in the English language). The fs is also a ghost that doesn't appear in the original. My OS is Japanese, so this happens. Also, appostrophes and esses on some English sites appear as Kanji in my browser. In Japan we call this "moji bake" (mow gee bah kay). I have been stumped when trying to describe this in English, is there a standard term for this among computer afficianado's (afficianadii)? |

Title: Re: el lagarto Post by Sprechen on Jun 1st, 2003, 12:46am Yes, you are right. The second part refers to the latin translation of the thread's title, with a little nuance to the English term for the source of all of our petroleum products. |
