Why does 'Trueswitch', the software that 'Microsoft' "teamed-up with [I think they said]" to change a '…@hotmail.com' to a '…@hotmail.co.uk' have in its terms and conditions "Open to residents of the U.S. only"‽
When I have urgent computer-work, I tend to rush, and when I'm on my desktop, with 'Windows 98 SE' os, it makes my desktop crash.

Why do people say “Quad bike” and “Double prime”—it is like saying a “three-sided square”, oh wait they do, “Tri-square”?!

Why do your posts consist of bizarre formatting and characters like this one:
‽
What the heck is that, and why do you do it?

Sorry, does using the proper punctuation, like '‽' as opposed to '?!', or a dash as opposed to a hypen-minus, or an ellipsis as opposed to three-dots corrupt the system, or something technical (above me :s)? Would you like me to stop? If so, does this ban extend to TVF?
