What I like to use for stuff like that is a sticky-back repro film
like Rayven 420, a polyester film with an adhesive backing so you
don\'t have to use transfer tape.  

The part that\'s nice about using transfer tape, though, is that you
can print the mirror image of the panel on the film and then stick
it to the panel toner side down.  That makes the image right-side up
and puts the film between the outside world and the toner, keeping
it from getting scuffed up.

OK, the OP has all of the stuff I proposed and by now he must have
read your "contribution", so let's wait and see what he decides he
wants to do.  Unfortunately, if he decides in my favor, I'm sure
you'll heap some abuse on him for making that choice since you've
already done so with that slur demeaning his .sig for no reason at
all other than to drag him down.

OK, but just make sure that you exit bowed and walking backwards and
that you don\'t turn around until you\'re clear of the building.

As for the lexicon, it\'s Webster\'s college dictionary, ISBN
0-679-40110-5 : ISBN 0-679-40110-8 which, BTW, you had nothing to do
with with my purchasing.

If you\'d like to interact with those of us who know how to use
American English effectively, I suggest you buy a copy of the
dictionary  and learn the nuances of the  language.

Not really.  There _are_ differences between your English and my
English, you know.

Slightly less of a mess, I\'d say,  since we\'re not saddled with
those \'ou\'s and \'re\'s which are really pronounced the way we spell
them.

Of course, but slightly less of a mess is still better than slightly
more of a mess.

Stop being disingenuous.

On the one hand you admit that our dictionaries tend to clear up
messes which existed earlier, while in the same breath you seem to
wish that we\'d not have done that, and that we should have adhered
to, presumably, the old rules with which you feel comfortable.

On top of that, I\'m sure there are words in Australian English which
are peculiar to that language and aren\'t part of the OED.

Should they not have been coined as well?

Actually, he made it simpler for us by more closely paralleling the
spelling we read with the phonemes we "hear" when we read.  

Whether he made it simpler for you is of little concern since you
have your precious traditions and habits and, good or bad, you\'re
certainly not going to break them for any American "yokel" who shows
you a better way.

That English isn\'t, pure-and-simple, a single language.  Ever since
we left England, American and British English have been evolving in
different ways, what with the independent addition and deletion of
new words, idioms, and grammatical constructs on both sides of the
pond.

Taken one step further, Australian English is different from both
American and British English and I suspect each language will
continue to evolve as the needs/wants of its users change over time.

As far as the spoken language goes, that may be true.

However, when it comes to written English, there have been many
occasions when you responded inappropriately to written American
English and/or seemed to have entirely missed the point.
