Your a Troublemaker. Not... :cheesy:

It's: You're a troublemaker.

Hey, this is fun.

There was a guy who would email me every time (or is it everytime?) I made a grammatical error in my market commentary. I learned a lot from him. I am either writing a lot better or he stopped reading.

 

[FUTURESTRADER]

English, ie. speaks a foreign language
BTW, I used dictionary.com to look up the words in bold, just to makes sure I was spelling them right!

noble...but isn't 'ie.' actually 'i.e.', for the Latin, 'that is', two words. I used dictionary.com to look it up

 

[Show-me]

There is one question that comes to mind in response to this post. If you are perfectionist in your grammer and spelling, why are you working for the Federal government?

Now pay attention while we congegate the verb phrase "to take coffee breaks."

I take coffee breaks.
You take coffee breaks.
He takes coffee breaks.
We take coffee breaks.
You take coffee breaks.
They take coffee breaks.

OK, now for your assignment. Your assignment is to congegate the verb phrase "to call in sick."

ROFLMAO

 

[Show-me]

I screw up ect or is it etc.

What am I saying? I screw up a lot more than that.

 

[SkyPilot]

i.e., or e.g.?

LOL! Thanks. I never did know which was correct and didn't think to look it up in dictionary.com! DUH!!!

 

[Bigdave125]

Does anyone know what is likely to be the fv for today?

 

[Birchtree]

Gosh - is it strumpet or preferably crumpet?

 

[FUTURESTRADER]

i.e., or e.g.?

“for example.”
It is short for the Latin exempli gratia

She loved exotic fruit, e.g., mangoes, passion fruit, and papayas.” and a few other things, I imagine

again from dictionary.com

 

[RunningFool]

A big one I see all the time is using "to" instead of "too", as in too much. Almost no one uses too anymore. Another one is "there" instead of "they're".
BTW I am married to a former school teacher, can't you tell?

 

[FUTURESTRADER]

effect or affect??

I am very sorry. I should have spelled the word conjugate, not congegate. Edit time ran out.

"to call in sick" "Real World" --- I've missed 3 day's in the last seven year's and that was 5 year's ago..... I'm not allowed to miss a day seeing as I am the forman of a crew of 4. Those 3 day's were because my Wife's mother died. Her father died this July 11. Did I miss a day. No. Not allowed to..practically impossible... I appreciate the federal goverment seeing as I am married to one in it.

Damn glad my Wife is a High up 14....

I should have also gone into the federal goverment...

Be gratefull to have a goverment position....

Thanks Ebb for your contributions. Keeps me on my toes!

Hey James, don't you really mean paws?

 

[SkyPilot]

Thanks for the heads up - very interesting to say the least but certainly not worthy of much attention. I may actually only be a pubic away from my own bannishment - but not yet anyway. I'm a member of TSP Strategy as a backup but so far haven't had the desire to participate - I continue to like it here.

Believe me Birch... you would not last a day over there .

They wouldn't even let me join :nuts:.

Oh, I don't know...I think I lasted about 4 days.:nuts: Then, for some reason I stopped getting email updates in my yahoo email account.

Paying members get a two day amortized refund?

My credit card was charged for the yearly rate on Oct 2nd, but I could not access the member area until Oct 6th. I tried in vein each night without luck. Paying members should get their subscriptions extended for the number of days service was not available.

I haven't seen any member info on the member side yet.
