For Marcus, reading is one of the best forms of entertainment. He, does, however, acknowledge that some people have trouble reading, and connecting with a book the same way. Marcus realises that they can connect on that same level in other ways.

Justin accepts this, and was mainly referring to those who are of the opinion that reading is for nerds.

Justin is a nerd and proud of it, however that isn't the point of his comment.

Marcus has just realised that his work is by law officially copyrighted from the date it got sent by mail.

Susan states that she has probably a few hundred books, but again, no where near the amount Justin possesses.

Although, if you count Susans sheet music collection, Susan has an entire room in her house dedicated to her Music.... it is named "The Music Room" funnily enough.

It contains Susans piano, her flute, her oboe, her music computer and all her music.

Marcus is also a nerd, and he suggests that he and Justin re-write Revenge of the Nerds!

Susan enquires as to whether the copyright belongs to Marcus or to the stupid Board of Studies?

Marcus hates writing musical notation. He just letters the melodic sections - ABCDEF - and memorises them.

Justin has not read Revenge of the Nerds, however he is not a nerd in the stereotypical sense. He thinks stereotypical nerds are actually geeks.

Susan enquires as to whether the copyright belongs to Marcus or to the stupid Board of Studies?

Justin states that as he wrote it, the copyright belongs to Marcus. It is Marcus's intellectual property.

 

[goldendawn]

To Marcus, Marcus believes. But he will check up on that...

 

[ujuphleg]

Ah yes. The copyright belongs to Marcus, but the right to publish it belongs with the Board of Studies.

Justin is right, Marcus's MW is, after all, Marcus's MW.

Justin provides a link to Lazarus's comment that he thinks would prove useful:

Marcus also doesn't look or act like a traditional 'nerd'. It's more of an honourary title . Marcus agrees with Justin's nomenclature: the traditional nerd image resonates strongly with our current definition of 'geeks'.

 

[goldendawn]

Marcus thanks Justin for the link.

Justin says "No worries."

Lynn has just reviewed major work and noticed two very big typos.

Lynn wants to hide under a rock.

Susan resided in England for a brief period of time, and when she was there, she was referred to as a "Bof" which is short for "boffin" and is a term similar to "tech-head" or "nerd"

Susan prefers to think of herself as a nerd though, cos anyone can be a geek, but it takes someone special to be a nerd.

Lazarus comment makes sense to Marcus.

Marcus found annoying grammar errors in his work as well. Lynn need not worry!!

 

[goldendawn]

Marcus wonders if Justin has read Marcus Major Work.

 

[jhakka]

Justin found one sentence that could have been worded slightly better, and one piece of dialogue that he never liked anyway. Stupid two sentences.

 

[glitterfairy]

Lynn knows that, but she still wants to hide under a rock anyway.

Lynn wrote her major work so long ago - it seems to foreign to her now. Almost as if someone else wrote it.
