No, keep this thread open. That UA thread lasted for over 40 pages. This thread is not hardly as dumb as that thread was.

well, it isn't about the Delta Gamma alumna, despite the intent of She Who Shall Not Be Named. I say leave it open. It's been very informative.

As previously (and repeatedly) established she likes to have the last word/insult....wait for it. The condescension meter is flying off the charts.

lol.

Dr. Phil, I stand corrected and I apologize...

According to Websters:
Many=large but indefinite number
Several=more than 2 but not very many
Some=unspecified amount

from now on, I'm only using some

You're a good sport.

As far as some people are concerned, "one is a ton" and "any is many".

The apostrophe to make a plural thing is a major pet peeve. I would've probably said something had it not already been done. This board is a place where folks are routinely called out for poor grammar and I love that.

Commas - the bane of my existence as a proofreader and copy editor.

I, sooo often, have to go back and delete commas (and parentheses) because I over use them.

Dear Hartofsec,

before you go any further, what is your NPC affiliation? For the record.

Whose record?

Hey, if I had known when I joined this site that I would receive a nutty nastygram from a prolific member here stating that I am being "researched" by a group of you with whom I disagreed, I would have avoided even including "SEC" in my username. Creepish.

We'll just have to wait for the official Investigation Biddies report.
