re:  It's fuzzy-headedness (IMNSHO) and should be avoided.

Can't you just envision Tim Conway as technical writer?  Writing for Carol
Burnett, surely.


When-a you done with dis t'ing, the computer she's a gonna sit an' wait for
you.

She don't ask for much, jus' a little stroking and petting (press any key to
continue).

Now dis computer, she don't care how you stroke it--it's not too choosy--it
just wants you to be nice to it.

An' when-a you finally press-a da key, dis computer will hop to it and be
ready for you to tell it more stuff.

It's a really nice computer.
