(I can't refer to him as RAH, as only Robert Anson Heinlein gets those initials from me.) > Jesus Christ, you've read that? I've read _The Peace War_ and _Marooned in Realtime_ and can hardly wait for the singularity to arrive. As for Jesus, I'm sure He has, too. > He calls them "gAu." Yes. > That looks great in print, Yes. > but I dunno if it's the best thing to say > with your mouth. Sure it is. One says "gow" to rhyme with bough (or bow as in bowing to a lady). "That'll be six gows" is what the cashier says, but the price tag reads gAu6.00. Heard Vinge do a reading at Worldcon up in Chicago one year. Hmm. That was 1991. Big year for me.
