I'm not an English Professor - ask me anything

Not only am I not an English Professor, I am punctuationally dyslexic: while I can usually figure out where to put the period at the end of a sentence, all the rest seem shotgunned onto the page.

So, given that, I'm here for you.

6. Wait, I get it now

Edited on Sat Oct-23-04 12:32 PM by indigobusiness

sorry, I was distracted. Don't know the count, but they are quite nice. If you buy one and don't like it, send it to me and I'll refund your money and shipping cost.

ps I think if you go through Cafe Press to return it, it would cost you shipping. Nobody has returned one, though. I doubt you would be unhappy with it.

pps Welcome to DU

11. Perhaps it would be easier

to just swap him fror Kerry.

Why does anyone mispronounce 'nuclear'? That is the sort of annoying, moronic type of thing that got people shot in saloons a dozen decades ago.
