Why is "nowadays" so commonly used by Asian people who learn ESL?

I keep seeing and hearing that word used by Asian people whose English is not so good (either ESL or pidgin speakers), from working class to PhD holders. How did that word take hold? It’s fascinating.

Why does Adobe Acrobat suck so hard at converting PDFs to HTML?

I get that format conversion is tricky, but tags split by line breaks and no closing tag on every FONT tag? Sad.

11/16/2010: never forget the day everyone said "Who cares about The Beatles?"

SAI offices robbed. Flipcam left behind. http://tinyurl.com/2djq7r7 Sounds familiar... http://tinyurl.com/dbfvqh
