I assume you mean deaf? Few people have used cell phones
for ten years already.


You in the USA already? ;-)

Already I have used an already mobile phone for well over ten years

already.
(not too sure how to punctuate that in the USA vernacular) ;-)
I see no signs of ill health in either myself, or my daughter already. We
both went with Orange about the same time. ( A British mobile phone

network)

Isn't Orange an offshoot of Hutchinsion Telecom which was, I think, from
Hong Kong?

Now Orange work at about 1.8 Gig? At that time, that was about the highest
frequency phone system that was going. Now we have systems that work at 3
gigabyte? already. Or do they operate at even higher frequencies already?
I'm not to sure already.

Right! I'm off to bed already. ;-)


Actually Dave, Cecil's use of "already" was quite appropriate. Just
because it may not be 'our' English doesn't make it incorrect- for good or
ill US and UK English are diverging. Languages change. In fact, there is
some evidence the US English is nearer to old English than current UK usage.

That was the company that created it, then sold it to British Aerospace, who
in turn sold it on again. It is now French (spit) owned.

That was why I included the smilies. I find it kinda cute that English in
this country has modernised, but that English spoken over the pond is stuck
in the 17 century.

Languages change. In fact, there is
some evidence the US English is nearer to old English than current UK

usage.

Once again, I find this fact hard to understand, when the world's fastest
growing technology, with the worlds largest budget etc can't up-grade the
language it speaks, to what the rest of the English speaking world use.

Dave
