I've done it before, and I'll do it again. But hey, everyone needs a quixotic quest.

Thanks, Snaqs. Now I can't get "Impossible Dream" out of my head!

You're not alone, sir. All you can do is call people on it.

Just like what we do, though, sometimes, there's backlash when we blow the whistle.

Maybe you guys should go start your own grammar forum.

I have an idea. Maybe we should all stop worrying about Grammar the same way people worry too much about how someone said something.

Fisaco you spend a lot of time here trying to tell others how to talk to others. If you do not like what someone has to say, do not read it or respond to it. It is really easy, I do it almost every day here (I have to or I would get mad all the time). If you are going to call out Bob for his comment about Grammar, then someone needs to call you out about worrying about how others say things here.

Now is someone going to answer the man's question or we just going to debate something that really does not matter at this point?

Peace

Given the way things usually work around here, I'm going to guess we'll all continue doing the latter.

So, is this kind of one of those "do what I say, not what I do" kind of things?

No. If you have not noticed I do not read many of your posts. But that did not stop you from getting sensitive about what others said to someone else.

Huh? How the heck do I know if you read my posts or not? The only way I can tell is if you respond to one of my posts, which you've done twice within this thread and multiple times within the past week. So I guess you really do read my posts.

Did the rest of you answer? I know I did not answer after it appeared that everyone wanted to debate Grammar and how someone feels about a certain comment.

Why should the rest have answered? Bob's answer was clear and correct.
