OT: Quick Break. Ahem Time for BYers.

[Kibitzer]

Here are a few recent comments by Boneyarders. I passed on them. Your turn to revise. Don't everybody talk at once.

"Knock on would."
"Wreck havoc."
"Geno paid her a complement."
". . . applied sound basketball principals."
". . . honed in on the next game."
"UConn faired well in Kansas."
"Pheesa's inside game compliments Lou's perimeter shooting."
(on ESPN, yesterday) ". . .turned over the reigns. . ." (coaching change)

and, of course, "We won't loose."

​

Have at it!

P.S. Did I miss any?

Obviously, not too many English majors among them (us ?) !!

Actually Christine Dailey in the old sod--was O'Daly, and I'll bet her grand dad or great grand , like mine, arrived as Daly --mine changed his to Daley (in one census was Dailey) spelling then like now wasn't always accurate.
Marissa--is as close as this old brain will get--it's used so infrequently. But thanks for noticing!!!

Change the spelling of the name?...hmmm. So that is why there were more votes cast than registered voters.

I haven't seen the misuse of dominant-dominate lately.Don't tell me we cleaned that one up.May have been tuff doing so for some folks.

 

[Bigpetunia]

Glad to have you as our resident professor, Kib...long may you rein(?)

That only happen if the Voting Officials were ALL sleeping.
Surprise surprise, surprise----The spelling of names in many families has changed multiple time--Polish names were often changed from the original. Prior to the 1400's most people had only one name instead of john jones---it was just john. Genealogy prior to 1930 seems to indicate that census takers spelled names phonetically, also religious recorders of Births, Deaths, marriages also had issues with spelling. Prior to abt 1925 mandatory schooling was not made law in all (then) 48 states..

I suppose you'll complain about the way she spells her first name.

 

[Biff]

I hate to post this because I'm sure this is a NCAA violation....

Wreak havoc, not wreck havoc.

I stand corrected!

If one goes for a long swim before breakfast, does that wet the appetite?

 

[Gus Mahler]

If you ate some pasta, and then ate some antipasta, would you still be hungry?
