well...maybe because it would make things difficult if they didn`t, I always say, "pilchard mutter coffee had unicorn teacosy billboard soggy pin", right?, of course its hard to understand what I just wrote since I use different meanings and usages for the words, but YOU should not have any problem Raven..ok?.
actualy it does cause problems, especialy when they are used in the same context, maybe thats why us mortals tend to have sepearate words for different things, makes things harder since we have to learn so many of em
, I agree with you that typing "me" a few dozen times and just using that one word to cover all meanings would be easier to type though

Quote: "Traditionally, NOMAD has used fixed, non-proportional fonts to display LIST report output (plain text output)
ASCII is basically using a non-proportional font to doodle with the characters on an American standard keyboard
(Wikipedia)Proportionality
A font which displays glyphs using varying widths is a proportional font while one with fixed width is a non-proportional (or monospace or fixed-width) font.
Word 97 and non-proportional fonts

Brougham, Letter Gothic, Orator, Lucida Sans Typewriter. Incidentally, a
man of great typographic wisdom once told me: "Brown is not a colour,
heavy metal is not a kind of music, and Courier is not a typeface."
