    The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.

    :confused: That's the whole point!!! Ok this is getting a tad painful, so we'll end it...

    The original question was...

    There are lots of countries and continents that begin with the letter 'A'. Two of them differ from the rest; which two and why?

    The answer is...

    Afghanistan and Azerbaijan - all the others end with 'A'.

    Moving on, Somebody else ask a question....

    It's a tool for stripping and cutting the ends of coax (10base2) cables prior to fitting BNC plugs...

    Thank goodness we don't need to use them anymore... Nothing like searching a whole downed network due to one faulty plug...
