Come on, NCTBA! Your spelling and punctuation might shame a 10-year-old but your sense of humour is fine. (Should that have been humor? Wink)


I don't know! Do you live in the street or on the street? I suspect "in"! Yeah, I think that my grammar is fine, but I've heard the same about punctuation. Apparently, North Americans tend to overuse commas...but spelling mistakes happen.

C'mon! There's a h*ll of a lot more who simply don't know how to spell. I'd mention this lunatic's handle...but even THAT got edited by the Gods Above that monitor our every keystroke.

And remember what my old Master, Yoda, used to tell me, "Drinking helps the spelling, not!" Shocked

Well, SR, due to your and John's having beseeched (besot???) me, "I Shall Return" in my further attempts at causing pain by eyes rolling to the back of poster's heads by my inappropriate humo(u)r. Laughing

I think Yoda would have said, "Helps the spelling drinking." As I recall, Master Yoda's word order was VOS.

Well, if I must be completely honest...I never was a Jedi knight...darn it, I knew that I went too far!

Actually, I was going for Germanic, "Glauben Sie mich?" Question Question Question

That, sir, would be equally true...please stop talking about my wife.
