Interesting.

I was always inclined to believe Neil's claim that he did, indeed, say the "a"

[mattweather]

Good story:)

I always knew Stanley Kubrick could not allow such an obvious mistake to be left in the script. :P

Amazing how a simple 'a' changes the meaning. Clever chap for finding it.

But even if it was missing, there's plenty of spare A's around because Queenslanders put it at the end of all their sentences, aay.

;)

[mick pinner]

have people really got that little to do?

[h0ughy]

would you stop spamming this thread or Dennis will photo paint touch it up and submit it to LPOD as the moon landing reinactment:D :P

aayyy:D

Now thats quite interesting. The way he found that out was quite interesting too.

Na, Ken most Queenslanders say "but" after their sentences.

something like, it's going to rain tonight, but.

[Gargoyle_Steve]

As a Queenslander I can translate that last statement properly, the way WE mean it......

"It's going to rain tonight, Butt"

We're polite, like to call people by their names, or a suitable substitute if we don't know their actual name to start with.

:P

Here's the link to the original Houston Chronicle article (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/space/4225505.html), and a quote from it

This last paragraph sums it up for me! :thumbsup:
