That's exactly what he meant. Why are you looking to be a plumber today?

I didn't intend to start a firestorm. The phrase "must (should / would / could) OF" as a replacement for "must've" really chaps me, for whatever reasons (that I couldn't explain to your satisfaction anyway).

Once again, you're not understanding the context of the conversation. And, once again, if you get confused, sometimes it can help to read back through the thread so you can understand what exactly is being said.

Really? You can't be serious. I understood perfectly what Bob said....the OP, not without a bit of extra effort.

Nothing Bob said was inappropriate. You just want to pick a fight with him (and others who agree with him) over his comment about the poorly written post for some reason.

Oh oh, there someone goes yet another time, blatantly slandering the fine vocation which has served not only me and my family but also thousands and thousands of needy customers with practical, effective, cost-conscious solutions for leaking pipes and faucets and clogged toilets and drains.

Why not say instead, "Why are you looking to be a developer of an officials' association management system today?"

May your wife's garbage disposal clog with turkey and yam parts tomorrow right before the football game starts, and may your local plumbing agency be unavailable so that you have to try to unclog it yourself but you end up breaking something so that what I, an honored and esteemed plumber, could take care of for a mere 108.00 costs you about 872.00 once you get around to replacing everything you broke when you shoved your tire iron down there to try to dislodge whatever is clogging things up and you end up breaking the sink for all your untrained efforts.

"Every time you flush, you put food on my family's table"

P.S. Anybody remember what this thread was about originally? I forgot.

Hey! That's my line.
