PeterN: Only the times when you use an inappropriate word. Sandman: You are free to point to any such time, Peter. Be my guest. I am happy to be corrected when I make mistakes. Be sure to point to the post of my inappropiate usage and substantiation for how and why it was inappropriate. I'm waiting. PeterN: Just look at and read any of your postings in which Tony orI corrected your English. Sandman: There is none to look at that meet that criteria. Wrong Incorrect. PeterN: And that's as far as I go with you English lesson. Sandman: So, you have nothing. I knew that of course. Wrong Incorrect. Your wit is underwhelming Whoosh1 -- PeterN |

I wasn't even aware of this event. BTW, I keep having to trim just about any response I post here "too many quoted lines" is the message I receive when the message won't "send". then you don't know about this one either: http://www.neccc.org/New_Outline_13.htm I already made my hotel reservations. My wife usually comes too. She just likes driving around the area. We have gone about five times in the last seven years. I love traveling to New England. My sister has a place in Weston, CT. and a place in Vermont. We spend a fair amount of time with them at their home in Weston. I'll be in the Dominican Republic for a week before this event in Mass. Honestly, I'd rather be in Mass than the Dominican Republic. I'm not one for sun, sand, and surf. I'd rather be indoors where it's cool or in the shade. |

"There is none..." is a gross error. Sandman: "gross", huh? I'm way past at taking you at face value, so you need more than just a claim here, Andreas. What? You need some "substantiation" that it should be "There are none..."? I actually missed that, I thought it was "none" you were in reference to, which sort of speaks to how low your credibility with regards to English is and how any comment you make about it will be doubted until you give anything substantial. I'm still baffled about the "gross" part though, but that's just you trolling though. Tony Cooper: If I adopted your juvenile style of writing, I'd add "Hilarious", "haha", or "Ironic". Sandman: Poor Andreas. -- Sandman[.net] |

snip Use that dictionary you keep copy/pasting from: gross = unattractively large or bloated. Gross also has a very different meaning, at least when distinguishing an amateur tennis player from a professional tennis player. An amateur jumps over the net. A professional's manager jumps over the gross. -- PeterN |

I'm still baffled about the "gross" part though, but that's just you trolling though. Use that dictionary you keep copy/pasting from: gross = unattractively large or bloated. I am perfectly aware of the meaning of the word "gross", which is why I am baffled by your misuse of it. Accidentally writing "is" when one should have written "are" is pretty much one of the tiniest and "non-bloated" ways to make a grammar mistake. That being said, a "gross" mistake is not something that is likened to being large or bloated, you picked the wrong definition. Words mean several things, and "gross" when used to describe a mistake is more aptly defined with the "vulgar, unrefined" part of the Oxford definition of the word, as opposed to something related to size. Or even the "complete, blatant" one. In this case, either definition is equally ill-fitted though, which is why you used it of course. -- Sandman[.net] |

Accidentally writing "is" when one should have written "are" is pretty much one of the tiniest and "non-bloated" ways to make a grammar mistake. When you write one sentence of ten words, and make an obvious an glaring mistake in that sentence, it's an unattractively large error. Blatant, even. Then you just made a gross error yourself. Ironic, wouldn't you say? And, when presented with that mistake, you *still* "missed" it, it becomes even more of a glaring and gross error...especially when you weasel away and claim it is a "tiny" error. Because you think it's an enormous and unforgiving error? This is seriously what you have sunk to, Andreas? Posting spelling and grammar flames blowing them way out of proportion? Especially when you make similar errors yourself. As I've said many times, I have no problem admitting to an error when I make it, but that doesn't mean I'll make fun of your trolling flames in the process. -- Sandman[.net] |

A typo, omitting a "d", is not a grammatical error. And, I do catch my errors the first time. But, no, I don't think your error was "unforgiving"[sic]. Nor is it unforgivable. (Funny how "Ironic" comes and bites you in the ass.) http://tinyurl.com/q2mpkys -- Regards, Savageduck |
