Linda Doran <[log in to unmask]> wrote in response to someone suggesting that the spelling of California as Kalifornia was something fascist: >When I see words like Kalifornia or Amerika, I think of foreign languages, >like German ("Kalifornien," "Amerika"). Fascism never occurred to me. >Personally, I'd like to keep it that way... [BIG, this is just to clear up some ugly rumors and put a stop to this foolishness. --Mike] There is nothing wrong with the letter "k". "Kalifornia" originally appeared on the FML in some Fer Federation stories (a spoof on the Star Trek: The Next Generation TV show) about ferrets in space. These stories were written by my wife and myself. Kalif Ornia <-- as it orginally appeared on the FML was just a spoof name for some "bad guys" that the Fer Federation were supposed to have a confrontational relationship with. Geez, give it a rest already. (Not you, Linda, whoever it was that suggested fascism as the motivation behind the spelling. I forget who it was.) May the Golden State become as enlightened as its name pretends to be! -- Mike - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Michael C.
