This is the media trying to make a big deal out of nothing.

This guy has had a terrible run of bad luck, health wise.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 09:50 PM) It feels weird and awkward to get any sort of national recognition. I'm not used to it, and I don't like it... It kind of seems ... unnatural.

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 04:08 PM) About 10 years ago I was going out with a woman, who although sweet, was not exactly the sharpest pencil in the box. For my birthday she got me personalized license plates for my car. It read CHICSX. I asked her about CHISOX and she said someone else in the province of Ontario had them. I never checked up on her claim, but I suspected she just blew it. During the ensuing year I had about 10 curious and somewhat irate women approach me in parking lots wondering if I was advertising for CHIC SEX. At first I found the response kinda funny. My next girl friend did not see the humour. The license plates now reside in the bottom of a closet somewhere. That may not be the coolest gift listed in this thread, but it's certainly the best story.

To be honest, I cannot hear a difference between their, there, and they're. They all sound the same to me. But as far as this grammar and correct word usage stuff, it may come across as being picky to some of you, but it is actually sound advice. Misusing these words becomes a habit that your mind does not catch when proofreading your own text. If you regularly use there in place of their, you're not going to catch it as you reread. That can lead to mistakes in resumes, class assignments, documentation, whatever. You are also coming across in this forum as either somewhat less than educated or, at best, sloppy. It's always preferable to put your best forward and to always try and live up that standard. That also becomes habit, and one that will pay off in the long run. In addition to they're, there and their ... here are a few more examples of words that are commonly interchanged. our and are then and than whether and weather waist and waste your and you're I have seen (scene?) these type of mistakes in write(right?) ups on FutureSox and Chicago Sports Report. These are reports that people put a lot of time and effort into, and try to do a very thorough job, and yet they miss these simple grammatical errors because they regularly misuse these words. It really does make a difference. Editted to add: I just saw another one somewhere on the board (bored?). aloud and allowed

QUOTE(SoIL @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 01:07 PM) I don't know exactly. I've heard that saying for as long as I can remember. Casey Kasem might indeed be the originator. I believe the expression came from Billboard magazine.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 01:07 PM) Sounds like my great-gramma. She and great-grampa raised rabbits for food. My mom said neither her nor my great-gramma could eat the rabbits after caring for them, but I guess great-grampa loved rabbit. :puke I've had wild rabbit before. I didn't care for it at all. It was a very greasy, pungeant meat. Very wild tasting.

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 12:58 PM) Could you come down to my office, please? If you're him, I still wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) I wouldn't piss on that place if it was on fire. Whatever that means. That's funny. I say the same thing about my boss all the time.

QUOTE(winodj @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 12:40 PM) To be fair, they don't know if the agent that Kerry blew anyone's cover at the moment, and if he did that would be a big problem... but it provides a convenient aside for people who want to forget that UN Ambassador nominee John Bolton had a terrible confirmation hearing and might get thrown under the bus in the next couple of days. Who wants to be fair? Kerry's a tool.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) Those days are gone forever. As long as there are low to no import tariffs, they will just go overseas. They don't need the American worker like they used to in the early 20th century. I believe it will swing back to some extent. The unions will never be as strong as they once were, nor do they need to be that strong.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 12:35 PM) Sad thing is I have had several coworkers telling my boss I deserve a huge raise and I know that if I get one, it will be the typical 3%. This is exactly why I vehemently believe that unions need to regain some of their strength. Whether you are a union member or not, there presense and effectiveness affects everyone. At one point, unions were too strong. But the pendulum has swung way too far to the other side and it needs to come back toward center.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 12:32 PM) I was promised one, but haven't gotten it yet. At my company, 2.5%-3% is the norm. I damned well better be getting more than that since I have taken over the responsibilities of two other dearly departed employees. Don't hold your breath.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 12:31 PM) Good question. Last time Quebec voted on sovereignty and just loss it was rumoured that Canadian forces might move in and stop it. But I'm not sure. And no this has nothing to do with Fox News, this is their own fault. Oh hell KWF, that was a joke.
