What do you call "correct usage" for {mabla}? I assume it was used as a swear word, which I agree should be correct usage. But the official definition says it is used to describe a swear word, not that it is one. ({zoi gy shit gy mabla}, but not {mabla} for "shit!") So it would not constitute correct usage for fundamentalists. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
