Jeez... can we PLEASE kill the tools wars? You think Word is broke, he
thinks Word is swell. She thinks broke isn't a word. He thinks swells are
weird. He's looking at me. She's touching me. You got chocolate in my peanut
butter. Dad are we there yet? ENOUGH! You think it sucks, he thinks it's
great. That's wonderful! Agree to disagree and move on!
