<FLAME ON>
Enough, already.  Spelling on this net is atrocious!  What's a stupid?
Do you have a stupid?  I don't.  What about my stupid, anyway?  Oh, perhaps
the author had in mind an abbreviation of:

	"How to tell if you are stupid"

In that case, how about using "you're" instead of the possessive form of "you".

Most of us are programmers.  We wouldn't expect the "C" compiler to tolerate
"misspellings" like:

	if (a = b)

when what is intended is:

	if (a == b)

How about paying the same amount of attention to our prose?  It's really
not that hard.
