I get it!

I was reading a few comments today referring to the recent Meteor tutorial. A few people kept quoting me

"I'll hit the letter SIX"

It was a mystery until I realized SIX is a number! What was I thinking

PS - I do have to say though, that David Tua (NZ boxer) has the proud distinction of being on celebrity Wheel of Fortune, and when asked for a consonant, replied "O for Awesome (or perhaps oresome)".

You bet I'm kiwi - And proud to say we say 'sux', and 'fush and chups' et al. Brendan is probably right though - Aussies tend to say 'seeks'

None of which are letters, of course

Aussies don't count to 'sex', New Zealanders do. Ryan must be a kiwi.

Andrew you said you don't walk up to people and say "Hey whats up, Andrew Kramer here...", but when you do introduce yourself, does the music play in the background? I found that hilarious

Hey,

What matters is Knowledge and the cool information that we get from your tutorials.

(letter SIX)or(Key SIX) makes no different.

God Bless you.

I simply assumed you had an assistant named SIX, and you were ordering him to hit the letter.

"Hit the letter, SIX."

But that's just me I guess.

My duck swallowed my keys 5 to 0. Is there any other shortcut?

Andrew, I learn so much from you! One of your best tips ever was that the "Home" key takes you to the beginning of a timeline. I was wondering if there is a shortcut that can take me to the end of the timeline?

Andrew, you must be close to one of the most popular okes on the internet. I think Oprah should have you on her show. I just opened this blog, refreshed the page and there were suddenly 10 posts. ha ha. Good work with the tuts, it's awesome that someone has taken the time out to really explain what's going on. Have a sickz evening. (Thought i need to make some mention of six) :/
