I would have used regex replace to do that, but to each their own.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I considered that, but regex operates on a single string. For this application, an LTTL formula operates on an arbitrary collection of strings.

i mean, loops. but yeah, okay.
I made a lexer with rules to handle that, but it all works using regex, and in this case would have to be modified in order for the rules to do replacements. It was never really intended for that, but just probably because I already developed that if it were me I'd extend that and approach it from that angle.
As I said, to each their own.

Should you never order pea soup from a waiter that loves puns?

And the waiter would be in deep sh*t!

You should also not ask him/her/it for a good wine.
If your name happens to be Mark, you should definitely not ask him for three quarks!

It has often been said to newbie cooks: "A person who cooks carrots and peas in the same pot is very unsanitary".
But, also beware of asking for 'leak soup' from that waiter!

I have mentioned before that I am an Edge/Bing (now Bing beta) user most of the time. I also use Chrome/Google for some stuff, usually when I can't find what I want from Bing. I use IE for financial stuff, because my bank has given me free some high security software for it, and I have Firefox for checking sites if they are not working properly.
I am, you my say, an equal opportunity employer. 
For the last week I have been frantically Bingleing some fairly esoteric techy stuff and was getting nowhere - except sites that MS or Google wanted me to go to. (Insert various pachydermial Soapbox expletives here).
Out of frustration, and while consuming a cup of Orange Pekoe, I recalled I had installed Vivaldi a couple of months ago. I quickly updated it, configured it to my liking, and set up DuckDuckGo as my default browser and home page.
Within two hours I had found more useful stuff that I was looking for than in the previous week with Bing and Google. Finally I have a search engine that finds the sites I want rather than those which pay the search entity the most, and a browser that stops elephants from following me all over the web.
... though it may have been the tea...

I wrote exactly the same thing here a few days ago. Duckduckgo just gives you results.

I didn't click a single story in today's daily news email but felt so compelled to tell everyone about this. Maybe this will make tomorrow's "Your say!" list. Even the cartoon wasn't funny, I was cringing when I saw the final frame. Does anyone still put a laptop on their laps? I remember radiating my nether regions on the frequent!

My 10 year old (189,000 miles) Suzuki SX4 is on its last "wheels" -- transmission problems, exhaust problems, and starting to sound like engine is giving up the ghost soon. So it was time.
Fuel mileage is almost 3x what I was getting with the Suzuki, especially on the commute to work which is 45 - 55 MPH, mostly flat, and a surprising amount of the drive is purely on electric power.

Can the Prion already drive by itself? I would fall asleep if I had to crawl like that. I thought the days where you had to sneak around like that were over. Provided that the weather is good and not too many eggheads roll around in the way, I love to drive at 130 MPH or a little more.

Quote: I love to drive at 130 MPH or a little more.
I really miss living in Germany sometimes. One of the hardest things when I moved to the US was the highway crawl.
Worse than that, I moved to Tulsa, OK where they seem to think that any speed over 45 MPH in the middle or left lane will cause irreparable brain damage! 
In some cases I observed, I can believe that is actually true! 
I remember doing an 880 km (550 miles) trip in under 5 hours including two stops for petrol and one for a sit-down breakfast!

Every day on my way to work, I find myself walking faster than the traffic. I suspect that all those motorists are dreaming about being able to go at 40MPH!

Happily my commute is on country roads, but they do have their share of deer, possums, foxes, raccoons. Those are the speed limits and the bear is watching!
