See Stag's comments.
Gum nuts.
Oops missed his "outlawed" comment. I thought someone got lost on the way to the GB.
Guess I need a spanking
I'm just amused at the literary device/ image of "outlaws sucking face"
cue stella
I'll not comment on your first statement.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.
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!"
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.these days, "get off my lawn" is something old people post on their facebook walls. With an emoticon, of course.
