No. We are not kidding PrintWhatYouLike is a word. Look it up. We learnt it just today. We like English spellings too, it adds colour to our newsletter, don’t you think? Besides, if England invented English, who are we Americans to muck it up? Learnt, dreamt, burnt, smelt…wait, “smelt” is a fish and the past tense of smell. Is there a connection here? Who cares. We’re off topic. This is 2010 and we’re no better than we were in 2009. Just older.
Anyway – PrintWhatYouLike was designed by two Web designers in Iowa – home of the Children of the Corn. It was designed, they say, to save paper, which saves trees, which saves soil, which saves worms and other critters, which enrich the soil, which makes it possible to grow corn in the state of Iowa.
If you’re not following this, don’t worry. We’re not either. But it certainly is circumlocutious
Here…we’ll bring in the site’s creators – the Iowans, to explain. they’re are not big on euphemism or pomp.
