okay i am confused by a few things myself, first off, my english teachers always told me never to rely on a webpage, so i am gonna have to agree to Aignam, second, i believe that FIRST is a bunch of unique people, and what one person finds normal is weird to others. so "Bling bling" and the such are coinsidered normal to some and not to others
and while we are on the subject of being all prim and proper, then i would like to say that everyone using the word first to refer to the program can all be confusing.
first: (taken from dictionary.com)
first (fûrst)
n.The ordinal number matching the number one in a series.
There are more definitions to the word here:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=first
no where on the page does it say that first is a robotics program started by Dean Kamen in New Hampshire
so people should Call F.I.R.S.T. just that F.I.R.S.T. or call it For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology because we wouldnt want anyone to get confused this just makes things more prim and proper
by the way (because using the term BTW would not be prim and proper) I cannot spell. I have the written ability of a snail ( that is if a snail could write i have never seen any snails on the New York Times Best Sellers List) if anyone has a problem with that i would prefer if they contacted me in private instead of continuing a discussion that has already be discussed on these boards to death
