However, they must display their grammar certification in their signature...so people will know they really DO know how to write:)

 

 

look under my scans.

 

look there, they are there for your enjoyment.

 

You will find the closest certification I'll get.

That's quite an accomplishment, Jay...and you should be congratulated... :applause:

 

However, as much as I enjoyed his work, I often wondered about James Joyce.

panty's out of a bnch.
Remove one's pantyhose from a bench?

 

Do most of you wear panties? hm

 

Why do men use expressions like that? hm

 

I'll field that one....because men still employ a slight form of misogyny by insulting other men with feminine attributes and characteristics.

 

Most men don't want to be women, of course.

 

It is a subtle implication that they are weak. It is why the language has the word "girly", but not the word "boyly"...

 

On the other hand, you almost never see a woman using a masculine attribute as an insult against another woman. Interesting, innit?

 

Because very few woman need to prove how macho they really are;) :acclaim:

 

Right....orrrrr...the implication that men and women have been culturally conditioned to subconsciously think that masculine characteristics are superior, and feminine characteristics are inferior, and thus would not use masculine characteristics as an insult for either gender.

 

Cultural conditioning, after all, is a realllly pervasive thing...it's going to take a lot more than 3-4 decades of "Women's Lib" to change that.

I stand by my statements..I am on too much medication to properly spell. When I am writing it may take me three or four edits.

 

You can blame my Dr. for perscribing so much stuff I can barely see straight. Hey I go in for a lovely surgery Wenesday, wish me luck. I am sure my writing will be way more slurred and mispelled after that by far!

 

On the plus side, the painkillers make all the complaints about my spelling and grammar just roll off and not bother me at all.

It's ironic, but I read an article this morning about typo's on resumes. I know this isn't a job search board, but I felt it should be mentioned:

 

"Executives were asked, 'How many typos in a resume does it take for you to decide not to consider a job candidate for a position with your company?' Their responses:

 

 

 

One typo............................................................... 47%

 

Two typos ........................................................... 37%

Three typos .......................................................... 7%

Four or more typos .............................................. 6%

Don’t know/no answer.......................................... 3% "

 

 

Here are some of my favorite typos as well:

 

“I am attacking my resume for you to review.”

“I have a keen eye for derail.”

“Hope to hear from you, shorty.”

One thing to consider, too...there's a massive linguistical difference between typos and consistent errors in spelling, grammar, syntax, and punctuation.

 

It's one thing to hit the wrong keys in the wrong order...it's quite another to not know how those keys are supposed to go together in the first place.

Didn't even notice.

 

I DID notice your misspelling of the word "archetype", though.

 

;)

 

 

i admit, i cheat and use the word and grammar checker that is bundled with the writing program i use, so yeah my spelling is pretty horrendous.

 

i'm a polack that takes many meds myself.

hell i don't even spell out my name.

Another one is the incorrect use of an apostrophe to signify plurals, which is always incorrect. What does the typo own? :baiting:

 

To put a face on it, I review resumes all the time. You have a grammar error in your resume? It goes directly into the circular file.

The Southern Vampire novels by Charliane Harris make Stephanie Meyer look like the brilliant writer of compelling novels.

 

I swear they did not even hire a proof reader for the Sookie Stackhouse books until book 4. The got a continuity specialist around the same time to clean up all the sprawled out storyline.

 

I do a lot of work that requires me to write endlessly detailed reports. When I am working I reread and edit and spell check. I have been offered editing jobs on the basis of my reports.

 

That being said, I like you guys, but won't spend hours writing posts for you. Especially now that my brain and fingers aren't synched.
