At the head of the list of those egregious ignoramuses (ignorami?)
surely is the late Dr. John Kraus, W8JK, author of the textbook
_Antennas_, surely the most respected and quoted textbook on the subject
of all time.

I'm sure glad we have true scholars to correct us and show us the the
error of our ways and the true path to enlightenment. It was truly awful
to have been a victim of such ignorance for so long. Thank you Mr. Bean!

FYI, Dr. John Kraus died just this past year at a very venerable age.

We all die. It is no tragedy.

"Those who are ignorant about the English Language and its etymology,
especially the Yanks and nerdy types, have introduced the erroneous
plural, "Antennas"."

Many words are rooted in formerly used languages. Today`s languages are
determined by common usage.

John D. Kraus, Ph.D., W8JK was one of the world`s foremost radio antenna
authorities. On page one of his 1950 edition of "Antennas" his first
sentence is:
"A radio antenna may be defined as the structure associated with the
region of transition between a guided wave and a free-space wave, or
vice versa." The footnote to this sentence defines "antenna" in its
zoological sense.

Note the book`s title is "Antennas". Kraus notes that in England the
usage makes no distinction and that both insect and radio antennas are
"antennae" in the plural. In the U.S. it`s antennae for the insects and
it`s antennas for radios.

Webster created a U.S. dictionary due to independent usage of the
English Language in the U.S.. It is a continuation of U.S. rebellion
just as was the switch from tea to coffee. Experimentation finds
converts on both sides of the ocean.

If "Antennas" is good enough for Kraus, it is surely good enough for me.

Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI

Proving once again that Yankland does not speak English.

Otherwise, and in general, use ham or salt pork to season greens.
The technique of smothering greens can be used with many vegetables;
green beans work especially well. Meat is not necessary every day, don?t
be afraid to alter any dish to vegetarian tastes.

1 premature baby, born dead
Large bunch of mustard greens
2 white onions, 1 cup chopped celery
Vegetable oil (or hog fat)
Salt, pepper, garlic, etc.

Lightly brown onions, celery, garlic and meat in large heavy pot.
Add a little water and the greens (which should be thoroughly cleaned and washed).
Smother slowly for at least 2 hours, adding small amounts of water
when it starts to stick.
Stir frequently.
When ready - serve with rice, grilled smoked sausage, green salad, and iced tea.
Coffee and apple pie then brandy.

Bébé Buffet 1

Show off with whole roasted children replete with apples in mouths -
and babies? heads stuffed with wild rice. Or keep it simple with a
hearty main course such as stew, lasagna, or meat loaf.

Some suggestions

Pre-mie pot pies, beef stew, leg of lamb, stuffed chicken, roast pork spiral ham,

There are postings with my name on them with Swiftian recipes
on them being issued with my email.

I have not issued these.

Kindly cease and desist using my email address.

In its zoological sense, and antenna is the feeler, or organ of touch, of an
insect. According to usage in the United States the plural of "insect
antenna" is "antennae," but the plural of "radio antenna" is "antennas".
However, the usage in England makes no distinction, the plural of both
"insect" antenna" and "radio antenna" being "antennae."

So for those not native to the USA or England, it depends on where your
English teaher came from, I guess.
