    No.1 4 me.
    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
    Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.
    Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.

    Suppose to be 3.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    FLORENCE, capital of the region of Tuscany, has a population of around half a million inhabitants, spreads on the banks of the Arno, between the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian seas, almost in the middle of the Italian peninsula. It is a city which bustles with industry and craft, commerce and culture, art and science.

    Yah it is sick-lid, but if you cross them indiscriminately they become sick-ko. [:0]
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    hmm...
    Don't worry about prounuciation. People all over the world, including scientists, proniunce the words differently. Even within a country, the names are pronounced differently.

    It was decided that proununciation wasn't that important.

    A few general guidelines may be helpful so that everyone aga aga the same pronunciation. The words are generally latin, and since the language is no longer spoken, no one is certain about the exact pronunciation of all the words.
    anyway, the words are occasionally Greek, so that situation muddies the waters, too. The name that there is really no reason to mispronounce and the patrionyms.
    These are desginations that are given a fish in order to honor a person. If the person is a male. the name ends in "i," and if the person is a female, it ends in "ae"; "i" is pronounced like the letter, but if there are two "i"s after the name, the first "i" is pronounced "ee"

    EG: Smiithi would simply pronounce "smith-eye" If it were Smithii it will be " smith-ee-eye"

    thats about all for now.
    Cheers!

    Heard from one guy in Petmart used no. 3 when I asked him about certain book. He should be right since he is dealing with fishes and fish-related. I thought it was chick-lar.
