I forgot that I'd left a "pirate-ify" plugin active, which converts everything to pirate slang for one day each year. Disabling now... Sorry, the post isn’t usually shown like that.

If you'd make only the first paragraph in the pirate slang, it would've been ok. As it is, this is simply unreadable. I’m sorry, but this post is unreadable.

With all of the fan fair I have found that none are any faster than the other. The only advantage is the appearance of Firefox and Opera. IE8 still manages to come second in website presentation because Microsoft will not fully adopt the CSS rules, i.e drop shadows. Now that HTML 5 is on the horizon we have a problem where MS will not impliment the full code because it has not been finalised. If MS does not adopt HTML5 in its browsers why do we need it for the internet? If IE9+ cannot display a website properly why are website developers bothering. MS is realy only fit for corporate intranets where IE is the prefered browser that fits in with ASP.net servers. In the real world MS has lost the plot.
