Ah, it's a beautiful day....that's twice now--you may have to resign.

BIM: It's on its way I'm sure.

I didn't even bag on your grammar recently and this is the thanks I get?

right, but mildy ambidextrous. There's some things I do with my left hand that most people would do with their dominate hand (really waiting for off-color jokes now). Can't think of any off the top of my head, but I know there's some. Too tired today to think clearly

mildly

There's some things (?) = There is some things ... There are some things

dominant

there's = there are

I think there were more on that day, but this one post is more than enough.

------------------------

Seriously - resign from what? I'm just a regular poster here. I've been told so many times by an admin that correcting spelling is annoying (mostly to him) ... so I rarely do it anymore.

Who cares if the site is full of spelling errors? :rhetorical:

It is great, IMHO, that others (including you) have picked up the habit and "BIM" many of the poorly spelled/poorly worded posts.

Holy crap! I may have to go kill myself. I must have been REALLY tired that day. I usually re-read my posts, and lately I have fallen out of the habit. I actually appreciate you calling me out on it, and wish you had at the time. I know others find it annoying--for me personally, it's lazy, and I don't like laziness. The two spelling errors were typos...the bad grammar was simply bad grammar. There are plenty of grammar-related things I have let slide in my posts that I wouldn't if it were being printed elsewhere. (More conversational-type instead of to the letter) ie., run-on sentences, excessive ellipses & commas, capitalization. For the most part, however, I want it to be right still. I just assigned myself detention.

As far as the resign comment...I was just trying to be funny, BIM. I know you rarely do it anymore.

edit: I didn't even notice I had said I was tired in my post. On the 20th I had gone to bed after midnight & was up at 4:00 a.m. (Don't ask why I know that). So I'll cut myself some slack for that day. I won't kill myself, but I'm still in detention.

finally, something i want to win! i'm all over this...

Even though I am against tv shows releasing partial season dvd sets (they may as well just make them two seasons), I would like to win this as well. My dog and I will both be entering.

Ha, a first - the newspaper cut off the final winner's last name and the answer from the previous week.

A DVD box set of "Entourage: Season Three, Part 1" will be mailed to these winners: Al Newberry, Colleen Johnston, Kaitlin Jeffers, Taylor Milton and Brian...

No idea on Brian's last name (I didn't enter for that week).

Answer is easy enough though: Mark Wahlberg
