Sweet Lord Almighty, please somebody sue the American Dental Association. We all know that "This term, meaning freedom, comes from Hindi but is also understandable to speakers of other Indian languages, as they all have common roots in Sanskrit." coming from an encyclopedia. The ADA can kiss my ass and grow up. They need to quit being like all the other corrupt businesses and sue over stupid crap just to get money. (greedy little Bast*rds!)

besides, I see no copyright on the work "floss" and the acronym "FLOSS". There is nothing wrong with using acronyms and I see no law against it either. (big @55 babies!)

hah. so pretty soon we need to buy words to use them. God. If that doesnt work they'll make us buy signs of sign languages too.

FLOSS FOREVER! >> <<

dig that ADA!
