Quote:I see you took offense at the term "peanuts".

Let me just say that in American English, the phrase "to work for peanuts" is standard and non-derogatory and brings up no vision of monkeys, etc. If anything, it brings up a vision of elephants working hard to move fallen trees for which they will be rewarded with peanuts. The phrase simply means "to work for little pay".

I had never thought about it before, and now I am curious where the phrase came from. Perhaps from our civil war era where peanuts (goober peas) were the only food available for the Southern army near the end.

Oh, well, I've caused us to drift too far from the subject, QBasic. Sorry.

Thats Mac for you :wink:
