good grief Carol, if you don't want to do the survey -that's fine, but
don't nit-pick over some little error. |

If you want to go to the grammar-typo capital of the world, hop on over to etiquettehell.com, and read *anything* there! Oh, and be sure to brush up on your MILs, FILs, MoHs, SMs, SPs, and BZs.

Did you know that "nauseous" refers to something that makes someone sick to their stomach" Like there's a nauseous odor emanating from that pile of cow manure. I always chuckle to myself when people announce that they're nauseous instead of nauseated. Sometime, I agree with them. "Why yes! You are nauseous!"

That's a typo I make all the time. I know the correct word, but my fingers aren't always very obedient. "Bad! Bad fingers!" Humbly yours, Carl -- "Years ago my mother used to say to me...

Thanks for correcting me :P
I'd like to thank everyone for their feedback, I got quite a few responses from this group. I noticed that many people didnt understand what I meant on the last question because I defined it poorly. I've since changed the definition so that people will hopefully understand what I'm trying to ask, if you posted on my survey previously please could you put what group your from and answer the last 2 questions again? Sorry about this. |
