In the L2 countries English words are not from origin but study in schools and for personal studies in the English Dictionaries. That is we know most words from secondary sources. So if I have not seen or heard about such words from my end should not be a term of "illiteracy". Learning is continues. I just tap my English Dictionary and saw the meaning of the words under discussion.

I hope you don't take offense, but that's actually the definition of the term:


https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literate

So, if someone uses the term in its proper context, there's no reason to feel offended by it.

Anyway, literacy isn't just about knowing words and there's a whole lot more to it. Plus, I think it's worth noting that Xal0lex threw a wink emoji in there, which usually means he was just messing around and not trying to insult your level of literacy or anything like that. Hope that clears things up! Cheesy

Then what do you say? In what language do you think this phrase is written? Enlighten me, illiterate Wink Here, even the all-powerful and all-knowing ChatGPT tells us that this phrase is written in English. Are you going to argue with the AI himself? Smiley

I'm very sorry, but you misunderstood me. I meant me, not you. I misspelled that sentence. I should have written, "Enlighten me, an illiterate." See, everybody makes mistakes, and so did I Wink So, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you.

I saw what you did there, but my brother Agbe didn't grasp the joke, he lost that part of the fun, but PowerGlow still needs to alter that into something simple in case it's accepted, which I doubt because anyone may use "I'm the administrator" in multiple contexts. 

I have to steal your last emoji for some football banter.

i am the administrator.

Hasn't been implemented yet and I don't think it would anytime soon. Lucky you.
I think you've misunderstood the topic. This is not something that's waiting to be implemented (that would be effing stupid), this is something that's already a part of SMF; it's an easter egg, left behind by the original devs. Smiley



I found a way to bypass this check but I'm not sure if its ok to post it here Smiley
Hehe, yeah, there are a few ways to get around it, but that's not really the point with easter eggs, is it? The idea is that you do the thing that reveals them, not try to find ways to accomplish the opposite. Grin



Anyone else remember that weird flight simulator hiding in Excel 97? I just looked up the steps, and it goes like this:

1. Launch Excel 97
2. Press F5
3. Type in X97:L97
4. Hit Enter
5. Hit Tab
6. Hold down Ctrl+Shift
7. Click on the "Chart Wizard" button

I'm not sure who they were expecting to stumble on that one! (I guess I must have read the steps in a computer magazine, or my uncle showed it to me, or something.) Cheesy

Here's a video, in case anyone's interested...
