Whatever you say, Jeebs.

And I respect your opinion, Jeebs.

Not very well, obviously.

Sounds like being a lexicographer is a fantasy of yours, Jeebs.

But in fact I do not have a clear understanding of what it means, 
Jeebs, but I know that it's a common term. 

You are not a lexicographer, dude.

That might have been clear to most normal people in my first reply
to the first follow-up. 

"I am using Windows XP SP3. Komodo Edit 6 for editing the *.py 
file. Dragon Naturally Speaking, Natlink, and Dragonfly might all 
be part of the process." 

The answer was pointless by the time the question was asked 
straightforward. Thanks to the prior replies, by then I had 
already figured out that I need a keyboard hook. The answer 
doesn't matter anymore.

You have every right to an opinion, Fuckturd.

No wonder you don't quote relevant material, Jeebs. If anybody 
knew what you were comparing that expression to, you would look 
stupid. 

> The terminology was fine. 

Are you a master of terminology on wikishit, Jeebs? I think 
wikishit sucks. Wannabe lexicographers like you might be a reason. 
I've dealt with some real lexicographers, Jeebs, you aren't one.
