I think I'll stick to my usual politcally incorrect manner of doing things and say something radical like, "Merry Christmas!"

__________________________________________________ ________
Say what?
It's the politically correct winter greeting that my son devised to send to all his Progressive Party friends and acquaintances.

It incorporates Christmas, Ramadan, Solstice, Kwanzaa, Hannukah, and I think the Jammin' thing refers to a Rastafarian holiday.

In order to say it properly you have to take a seminar at the community college. [/B]
Progressive Party? Sounds like the mules are sick of the "D" word.

Should of went to the community college. Why take "Electromagnetics 315" when "Big Words and how to make them up 101" is available?

Ok, you have stumped me. Why is the "of" in quotation marks? The sentence I began with "Should of" is a fragment sentence, but I believe the "of" part is correct. Unfortunately, I must admit, my mother is a high school English teacher and all four of her sons cannot tell a adverb from a pronoun. We remain productive in society only with the assistance of the spelling and grammer checkers available on word processors today.

Classic case of the shoemaker's kids going barefoot apparently What Mr. Grammar Guy was getting at is that your statement should properly have begun with the phrase: "Should have." I'll go one further, your statement should properly have begun with the phrase: "Should have gone." But hey, I'm just an upstart, wannabe Mr. Grammar Guy, filling in during the holidays

Correct. I was going to write " Should 'of gone and done tooked' English 101," but I thought that would have been piling on.

... and it would still have been incorrect. The appropriate piling on correction would be, "Should 'of done gone and tooked..."

But I'm not worried. You 3rd and 4th year people have to keep trying. You'll get it sooner or later.

I always wanted to be a good grammar talker. Now I are one.

Boys V rec - maybe that's your answer right there. Middle of Q3. A1 and B1 have been bumping in the post all night and some fouls have been called. All of a sudden, B1 punches A1 right in the mouth and knocks him down to the floor (actually, that's pretty impressive if you think about it). My partner, who is lead, jumps right in a keeps them separated. I run over (about the only time all night I actually ran) to help prevent any further action.

B1 is ejected for the flagrant and my partner goes over to report it. Before he can finish, coach A yells the following at him, "Why didn't you let my player have a chance to retaliate? That's only fair. You've got to call it both ways. (italics mine for emphasis)

At first, we both thought he was kidding because if it was a joke, it was pretty funny. But he wasn't. Here's my partner's response. "Coach, advocating violence here can certainly be construed as flagrant unsportsmanlike conduct which would carry an ejection and suspension. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt this time and assume you just weren't thinking straight. I trust you will not say another word on this subject."

That statement really floored me! I never knew my partner could properly use the word "construed". He must have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express the night before.
Wow, interesting play on words, and it wasn't from Dave! E-mail me details. Names, ranks, serial numbers. I love gossip!
Mark -- thanks for the gossip. I'm impressed with your partner. It must be the OSU influence. I know my son got a very good education there (and a very good partner!).

I hope your league will give some kind of reprimand to that coach. That statement was very, very unacceptable.

to you and your family!

I should hope that anybody that graduated from The Ohio State University would get a very good education. Go Bucks!!

It's not the number of years, it’s the ability that measures up.

Some old vets do not have a clue while some 3rd/4th year guy's/gal's, got it going on.

I sure would be worried!
