As usual, like driving on the wrong side of the road, you Brits have it ass (as in arse) backwards.
If when is actively presenting an amendment when is holding it, reading it, even waving it in the air. If you put it sown on a table it's because you've given up.
Anyone who spoke proper English came here, the cockney's stayed on your little island.
(We further refined it by sending those with problems to the deep south: out of site, out of mind)
It's high time you get with the program.

It's true - Americans don't understand irony. Like someone lecturing us about "proper" English whilst not knowing how to use an apostrophe!

In proper English, one uses the word "one", not "when".

You're going at this whole "proper English" malarkey like a bowl in a china shop.
Yes, I know the expression is a bull in a china shop. It's also "out of sight, out of mind".

I have this exact discussion everytime anyone on the team says we should table something.
I always ask them: "what side of the table do you use by default?" And yet the default meaning in North America is opposite what common sense dictates.
I will convert this entire continent! 1 argument at a time! Until next time when they forget and revert to their barbaric ways.

And now you know why it's so cold in Canada.

Who's on first.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Yes. Not the pronoun, but a player with the unlikely name of "Who", is on first.

Sounds like you're not familiar with the original[^], to which the Simpson's blorb refers.

Once everyone stops using IE6 (or any version of IE, for that matter), and upgrades their ancient versions of Firefox[^], maybe a proper CSS layout would make sense.
Until then, it's probably too much arse-ache for too little benefit.

There are only 0.03% internet users that use IE6 (soure: "Can I use" usage table[^]). So I think if Code Project update there CSS whitout table tags if not needed, this percentage will be lower than 0.001%.

It's still going to break the site for some users, and require a lot more work to keep the site working for most of us.
What benefit do you think you'd get out of a CSS layout redesign? Are you using a screen reader which is struggling with the table-based layout?
