Microsoft Calls for Verb to be Erased From Dutch Dictionary
,----[ Quote ]
| Using the verb 'MSN-ing' as a synonym for sending messages through an instant
| messenger will no longer be allowed by the Microsoft Corporation. One day
| before the lawsuit against Carola Eppink (Unicaresoft), Microsoft Corporation
| requested the Dutch dictionary 'Van Dale' remove the verb `msn-ing' from the
| latest edition.

,----[ Quote ]
| I was looking to see what search sites might have a particular bug that I
| (ahem) came across and was trying the search for the number 0 in various
| places. There is a pretty good Wikipedia page about zero. Zero has a rich and
| interesting history and there are many other potentially reasonable results.
