Is that from the caffeine or too many trips to the bathroom?

Practically close enough to what I will end up paying in repairs for my car.

Not quite *that* high, but close to $2k. And big enough for me! Am shopping around for other options on repairs and parts.

While it is fairly widely known that there is a body in France that makes decisions on what words are and aren't allowed into the language, and what words are to be used in their place (e.g. 'e-mail' was recently banned), that language is not the only one with a decision making body. A reformation of writing and spelling for the German language was announced in 1996, codified into law by the Austrian, Swiss and German governments, and expected to take effect by 2005. The last such decisions about the language had been codified in 1902. Some people and organizations began using the new spellings right away, but there has been some resistance. Even as recently as this past May there have been counter-reform methods suggested.
