Wireless internet. See my post in the What do you "assign" to the Shire? thread.

I would assign Communists. Every orc is equal, they all are labors (class struggle) but theres really a dictator controlling it all.

Better hope Rune doesn't hear that . . .

And, um, I would like to assign to Mordor whenever people mispronounce my last name. Maybe I should move to Germany or Switzerland, where everybody would pronounce it correctly.

Sadly, the perfect world has already been assigned.

I'll assign the exploitation of the workers.

On a serious note, I want to assign the confusion of communism with such notions as Stalinism, armed revolution and fascism.

Procrastinating - though it may already be there.

I have perfected the art thus that I started making lists of what I still have to do before tomorrow, blink at the screen, feel nauseous, panic slightly and then go back to pointlessly refreshing the Downs index page.

I feel I am doomed.

The American spelling of 'favourite' or 'favour'. I don't know why, I can usually handle the changes, but for some reason that one has just started to really bug me.

Okay, I ask you Brits: do you pronounce it fay-voor and fay-voor-it?
Or is it fay-vore and fay-vore-it?
Or worse yet, is it something like fay-ver and fay-ver-it?
Or can we hope that Brits actually pronounce it like their French cousins over the channel, something like feh-vwaar and feh-vwaar-eet?

Or is it somewhere between the Brit and American spelling, like 'soot' instead of 'boot'?

Oh, and I assign the annoyance people get over differences in the language when they are in fact fascinating developments that reveal much about the nature of speech and language.
