    For even better results, end every command with a "&". You'll get that shell prompt back right away. And a complete output file.

    Irish Girl is WTF.

    In this case the "T" stands for "to".

    Closer to TRWTF is the fact that you mistake ksh for csh.

    The real WTF is that the name of the person in this WTF is my actual name - but this isn't mean... seeing as I was born in '82.

    This is going to have me going WTF all day...

  • Anonymous (unregistered)

    I bet she's a fine office admin these days (or possibly a T-shirt model, but that Irish girl would have been about 10 in the late 80s... mmmmm, 10 year old Irish girl...)

    My experience with "Irish Girls" was back in the late 70's. The comment then was "I only changed one card". That was usually where the error was.

    DUH!

    One time, I tried to help an Irish Girl troubleshoot her program. I gave her a t-shirt, and a bottle of whiskey instead. Now she is a model, and makes ten times what I make.

    Captcha: odio

    Yes. I hate my life, too.

    This is the _pedantic_ thread. Grammar Nazi, spelling Nazi, and all like that. Lots of peolple get those words mixed up.

    pedantic: marked by a narrow focus on formal rules and trivial points of learning

    pedophilic: sexually attracted to children; lover of 10 year old Irish girls

    -Harrow.

    Ah. Irish Girl, Ctrl-C, and a computer lab.

    Love it.

    Bravo on a good story, good punchline, and not choking the dirty bastages that

    All this bickering and complaining about every article, and spell checking, and grammer correcting is making me feel smarter than you. From the bottom of my liver, Thank you.

  • Georgem (unregistered)

    TRWTF is that an inexperienced person being inexperienced, is considered a WTF. What's next? Lauging at a granny getting suckered by 419 scams? Oh, wait, that is funny

    Do you have any idea to whom you are posting?

    For most of these guys (there are NO girls on the internet), the W in 'WTF' does stand for 'What' even if the T is for 'To'.

    When you are a super clever grammar nazi, you can't be picky.
