Answer» How would you choose a random word from 'lists' of words? How does reply 1 or reply 2 help?How does making posts like that help? I gave a code which should help the OP. Quote from: Helpmeh on December 20, 2010, 07:57:52 AM How does making posts like that help? I gave a code which should help the OP. Helpmeh: It's Bill again. Quote from: BC_Programmer on December 20, 2010, 07:59:37 AM Helpmeh: It's Bill again. He is always easy to spot. An alternative... a limitation is that for the adverbs, you have to have the same number for each verb. Also, a grammar point, in the examples given, "slow" and "loud" are incorrect in standard English - they are verbs, the correct adverbs are slowly and loudly.

Always easy to spot. Salmon Trout and Shanked are the same person Quote from: Helpmeh on December 20, 2010, 07:57:52 AM I gave a code which should help the OP. How does your code help? Your code generates no output. Your code does nothing. Look at Samon Trout's code for the answer.oh Bill, you crazy insane fool. See people, this is what FORTRAN does to people. Dijkstra noted that BASIC mutilated minds but apparently so too does long time exposure to FORTRAN. Quote from: bobhoward on December 20, 2010, 12:05:00 PM How does your code help? Your code generates no output. Your code does nothing. His code works fine. Perhaps you didn't read the instructions. Not that it matters, you clearly cannot read the various hints by the forum to go away, such as, for example, being banned countless number of times. preemptive response fro Bill; will probably be something to the effect of apologizing to the OP for his thread going off topic and then wishing him well getting help, or some other completely random muttering. Possibly accompanied by asking me where my code for this issue is. Quote from: BC_Programmer on December 20, 2010, 12:16:23 PM
To: BC, The Computer Dilettante who has never had a creative thought in his life. Thanks for the help. Please provide the output for Helpmeh's codeOuch! My precious feelings! Oh how will I ever recover from the death blow that the great Bill has caused to my ego. Although the fact that simple directions cannot be followed, and he is essentially asking me to perform the very simple, grade-school task of following some of the relatively simple STEPS that Helpmeh provides for running his scripts sort of ruins the ATTEMPT at an insult. Better luck next time perhaps. Quote from: bobhoward on December 20, 2010, 12:05:00 PM Your code generates no output. Bill is crazier than a whole barrel of Tea Party members.

BC, The Computer Dilettante: Where is Helpmeh's code and output? Some the readers here are gradeschool children and new to computers. Not only is BC a Computer Dilettante but BC is an expert at evasion, double talk and long nonsense posts.
