2. Well, you sent me to the dictionary to look up predicative

But this wouldn't be the example of one, right? Your thread would be interrogatory?

Edited on Sat Mar-26-05 12:25 PM by bigtree

a title that affirms or asserts something. (close enough for mischief)

6. How does my post have to do with grammar?

Anyway, do not be afraid of the grammar police, good citizen. We are sworn to protect you. We hardly ever bring out the tasers. ;)

8. Give me one good reason, bigtree, just one... :)

Edited on Sat Mar-26-05 12:38 PM by DemItAllAnyway

The grammar police do get testy on occasion. We are paid very little and it is very dangerous out there on the DU streets. Lots to do, you see. I blame society, myself.

19. try some do-it-yourself measures first, to achieve maximum bzzzzzzz

like posting that you don't think Kerry should run in 2008, or that you don't think there have been nearly enough Schiavo threads, you know, something like that. Guaranteed voltage should occur swiftly.

13. be afraid

Edited on Sat Mar-26-05 12:57 PM by stellanoir

be very afraid.

In truth I posted a recipe the other day and it was total copycat bait. It took a couple of hours.

So consider feeling honored instead.
