No ! It means you were able to get where you wanted to despite of your ..... lack of ....
For her it may be dissapointment but for you it means something like "got you" !

Probably neutral. "O" can just as well be "O" as in O!

Awww, relax baby. I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to put someone_else's mind at ease. I will fight for O until the bitter end.

This is an important question and trivialize it by saying it shouldn't be taken seriously.

Please don't take this too personal, let it be just a choice between the A and the O. I have never been part of any incrowd in my whole life and, even if I am to stay alive 'til I have passed the one hundred year-mark, I never will be.
By the way, now that I'm writing this, the O is on the lead. |
Sorry. I suppose I should have made it explicitly clear that everything I say on this thread should not be taken seriously. As manofmystery pointed out, this is about ridiculous comparisons and the whole thing should be read as tongue in cheek.

O is better. It is smoother, less complicated than A, and in general it isn't even obnoxious like A. It forms a perfect circle, but even when it doesn't it still looks perfect. You know what word A goes with "ASS". Because that is what the letter A is. O is pure beauty.
I rest my case. Omnipotently organic, omnivorous and (ewwww) obligated to oblige you with the obvious observation. O = Osome.

Yes, absolutely.
We were all laughing about it in the washroom at recess behind your back.

Those are homophones, not the actual words. I stand by my statement. But you forgot Z as the heavily French-accented pronunciation of "the."

Amen fellow Alex.
Also, the letter "a" refers to Portugese and Spanish females. 'Nuff said mate

Liking "A" because it's the first letter of your name is a very biased and narrow-minded thing to say. I would have expected better from progarchives but it seems as though the civility that was present when I joined a few weeks ago has disappeared. While the letter "a" may refer to Portugese and Spanish females, Slartibartfast pointed out "O" starts the word "orgasm" and Atavachron pointed out "O" is female. And lastly, you can exclaim "OOOOO" whilst engaging in activities leading to orgasm. The sexuality of the two letters clearly goes in O's favor.

Your more likely to say "Ah!Ah!AAAAH!" . "OOOOO" is what you hear when a lady recognises a nice dress she wants. Or if the male gives her a pleasant surprise.

Gotta go with a.
In the languages I can understand to some extent, with "a" you can make ä, à, â, å, and even æ.
O has only got ö and Ø.
Go a.

A. Anyone who says otherwise is just close-minded.
