Subject:Displays, appears, etc. From:Emily Skarzenski <eskarzenski -at- DTTUS -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 30 Aug 1995 09:19:43 CST
For those of you who agree prefer to stick with the transitive use of
"displays," but don't like the slightly magical connotation of
"appears," how 'bout trying "opens"? It's a legitimate intransitive
verb.
