Say, if you're so smart, how do you open up those plastic things that they package headphones & stuff in?...

 

Oh, yeah, good idea.  Also: Why do we park on driveways and drive on parkways?

Why do they call them buildings if they're already built?

I hear Sennheiser makes some good headphones.

Yeah, if you can ever get to them. 

No problem here in Germany ...

So you guys have sane accessible openable packaging over there? 

No, but we have intelligent people ... :-D

Now what the hell's that supposed to mean?  And please use small words.

Why is abbreviation such a long word?

Why is pronounciation so difficult to say?

Why isn't phonetic spelled like it sounds?

Why can't people with lisps say "lisp"?

(And the same goes for dyslexics.)

Do dyslexics really have more nuf?

Why do you bother answering silly questions ?

If you had it to do all over again, looking back, now that you know, what would you do differently to get from your beginning chess strength to where you are now both quicker and easier?

In other words, what were some things you spent more time on that weren't actually as important as you thought they'd be?

And what do you wish you had spent more time on that proved to actually increase your playing strength more than anything else?

(The reason for these questions are so that currently weaker players can benefit from your hindsight so they don't have to waste time or energy on the wrong things and can spend that time and energy on what will help them reach master strength quickest and easiest.)

Please be as specific and detailed as possible.
