tru dat.
Turn it off and back on and it picks kicks back in. I've also noticed if you preview the post it'll kick back on. Not sure why it doesn't play nice. |

Champion 6962  Atlanta, Ga | Subject: RE: Will Jim PLEASE use a spellcheck? Now I'm really glad that I have no idea how to actually seperate a sentence into its parts. Like I have no idea what an adverb, adjetive (sp), etc. But I was always good at breaking up the subject and predicate. Does that count? |

Me spelz gud... Maybe Phil was talking about the other Jim. Yes, the "other" Jim, who I'm waiting for to comment on my bad spelling. well if we're getting into spelling, we might as well get into grammar... The phrase above in red should be, "for whom I'm waiting to comment on my bad spelling." You are welcome.
Actually, I believe it should read "from whom...", not "for whom". Gotta disagree. The speaker is waiting for Jim. Thus, Jim is the person for whom the speaker is waiting.
I think the speaker is waiting for comments FROM Jim, not just waiting FOR Jim. Any High School grammer teachers out there in COJ? Perhaps the correct phrasing is "from whose comments on my bad spelling I am awaiting"? |

Perhaps the correct phrasing is "from whose comments on my bad spelling I am awaiting"? given that 1TT used an infinitive... I stand by my "for whom I am waiting to comment."
If he had said something about awaiting comments, I would have said "from whom I am awaiting comments on my bad spelling." And here "waiting" would not have cut it... you need "awaiting." |

Plus waiting for Jim as opposed to waiting for the comments implies the writer doesn't give a carp what Jim comments, only that Jim comments. Edited by mrbbrad 2009-03-27 12:33 PM |

Well, where is 1TT? He needs to clarify - is he waiting for the comments or for the person? If he is waiting for the person, then I agree, he is "Jim for whom I am waiting". But if it is the comments (action), then I stick with "from whose comments I am awaiting" |

Pro 3932 Irvine, California | Subject: RE: Will Jim PLEASE use a spellcheck? Reminds me of a good joke... A man is visiting Harvard but can't find the library, so he asks a passerby... "Excuse me, can you tell me where the library is at?" Acting shocked, the other man replies, "Sir, at Harvard we do NOT end our sentences with prepositions!" To which the first man retorts, "Ok, then. Can you tell me where the library is at, a$$hole?!"

Two doctors are in the restroom, using the urinals. As they finish, one of them starts to walk out. The other doctor pointedly comments "At the Univeristy of Pennsylvania Medical School, they taught us to wash our hands after urinating". To which the first doc says "Really? At Penn State, they taught us not to pee on ourselves!" |
