May 31, 2013. My one year smoke free anniversary! First one since 1986!

FYI - There's a section of the forum for success stories. You may wish to consider posting yours there too.

Congratulations in advance. It's one heck of an accomplishment!

Here's a song for you now that you intend on living long enough to hang with this audience (not that you're there yet):

With a manual that repeatedly says "steaming" (which I thinking must be producing vapor) I am not sure I want to spend over $300.00. Hiring a competent translator would have been a good idea.

That totally escapes me. Particularly since I KNOW that many U.S. companies send people overseas just to monitor stuff. Heck, there are a number of people here on the site that could earn extra internet bucks just translating stuff. Totally don't understand that.

True story: I have a friend who years ago dated a very uptight young woman who was studying linguistics. Their relationship really started going downhill when he asked her if ".... retentive" had a hyphen.

Sometimes it's hard being OCD...

But today at work, I had to imagine one of my agents as an eagle and with "alot of energy", in the same sentence when he said:

"The contractors field personnel have wasted alot of energy with the settings theyve set the chiller at the project"
UGH! The coping mechanism did help ALOT!

Irregardless Eddardin, your gonna just not like this also.

Well at least I have a coping mechanism for y-o-u-r instead of y-o-u-apostrophe-r-e (now you're an eagle!), I am without defense for the indefensible 'irregardless'.

He....fainted. I'm pretty sure. Fainted right where he read it. Or he's shaking convulsively trying not to correct it....

EDIT:

He corrected it! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

I dunno about anyone else but I have been a Concrete Blond sort of mood. This is the song I thought they should have used as the theme music in Interview with a Vampire.

Concrete Blonde is RAD!!!!!

It is all rainy and dark so great call Myrany

You may read my other posts and find plenty of proper "you're" and "regardless" references. That post, however, was just begging for it.

P.S.
I should have used "to" on the end instead of "also" or "too".

We the members of the National Socialist grammar party cannot be only part time workers!

Yeah, I'm not sure about that skirt on it ... would be better if that were removable.

No innuendo intended ...

Why not?

That's how I see Becks pretty much just grabs that guy and makes his head spin!
Then there's this I found while googling for something, can't remember, but was like "hey, there's becks!"

This news about OK is just completely knocking me out. I need to take a break from watching it.

Wanna send more well-wishes to Steph, Ferrell, and chelle for her headache

.

Yay for Talking Heads, The Beatles, and the sublime Jacqueline du Pre (and regularity, too). Teaching grammar is strictly my day job, Lion; I think most anything should go on an internet forum; folks don't write here as they would in a less casual setting; but I understand that you stay on the prowl for the NSGP wherever you go. It's just your Lion nature, after all! Come join us more, BostonVape. Anyone with a Dmitri Martin avi is aces in my book. You never had Candyland as a kid, and no one ever called Child Protective Services, RHP?!

This was quite troubling:

"No innuendo intended"?!?!?

 

[beckyblue]

Oh my gosh! I posted that ^ and then saw myself (but dancing!!) pop up above me. Gotta catch up from the Lion roaring about grammar; that's where I left off...

 

[chellemmm]

I do have a thread somewhere in the Lounge/OUTSIDE called Grammar Nazi...

It is a RANT, too! http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/outside/398462-grammar-nazi.html

Wow! Perfect timing?!! Thanks for the get well card. Hope you feel better soon Ferrel, hope your headache goes away soon, Chelle.
