Heh.

If everyone could hold a little piece of the GB in their hearts all year round, what a beautiful world this would be.

Cue queues for cueing.
I'll not comment on your first statement. :rolleyes:

I will, however, thank you effusively for proper use of the homonyms "cue" and "queue." As most of you know, I make my living typing hearing/trial transcripts for a court system in a universe far away. One of the (former) senior people changed my usage of the word "queue" to "cue" in a transcript, and sent the transcript back to me with a suggestion that I review her "corrections" to the transcript and learn from them. Only *one* of those "corrections" was correct, the reversal of two female attorneys' names for each other when they were speaking simultaneously. (I should note that their voices, while similar, certainly were discernible; it was my error, and one I shouldn't have made.) I forwarded the e-mail and transcript to the senior VP of the company owning the company with which I contract for these transcripts (he was effectively "my" company's president), noting that every other of her corrections was wrong. She left the company not long afterward for "career advancement." Correlation? I think so.

I know some people think I over-emphasize grammar, spelling and sentence/paragraph construction. Maybe in today's world, I do, but in the world in which I grew up, communication - clear and concise - was important. It baffles me a little that today's world, in which so much communication is done via relatively instant and non-personal (i.e., not in person) methods, in which receivers of communications have no sound cues, no tone of voice cues, no facial or body language cues, has denigrated and de-emphasized making those communications comprehensible. <Sigh> Maybe I've just been around too long and should sit out on the porch and yell, "Get off my lawn!"

Preach it, brother! You are the medieval monk, keeping the record of the grammatical faith safe for generations that will someday thank you.

Maybe.

I hope.

In truth, your point about few facial and tonal cues is s good one. But I'm sure the quality of animated emoticons will improve soon.
 
these days, "get off my lawn" is something old people post on their facebook walls. With an emoticon, of course.:rolleyes:
I'm old, obviously, and getting eleventy-three days older for each calendar day I survive. I *have* a FB page, but hardly ever go there except occasionally to play Angry Birds. TBH, there's not enough room on our tiny porches to even put a lawn chair to read in between shouts. And, besides *that* little detail, it's 24º F, windchill of 10º (-4º C, windchill -12º), so I wouldn't be out there long enough to catch anyone to yell at. :rolleyes:
