I imagine a thread for fetivus miracles could make an entertaining addition to the festivities?

I learned to spell long before computers would tell you were stupid by underlining a word for you in red. I find it hard to believe people hit the "Post Quick Reply" button when half the words they just typed have been underlined in red.

Time out.

I don't know if it is still the case, but I understood that spell checking was conducted by the user's Internet browser rather than by TBN's software and that not all browsers included a spell check capability.

Resume play.

The petty bickering over the sharpening of Chain Saws must stop.

You sharpen the chains, not the saws, or is it the blades and not the chains..Oops, i agree.:laughing:

I agree. As the Chair (self-proclaimed) of this year's Festivus Planning Committee, I assign you the task of initiating the thread.

We also need someone to coordinate the "Feats of Strength" activities. Any volunteers?

A good question. Although Festivus officially ended at 2400 hours on December 23, members are still airing their grievances. As the Chair (self-appointed) of this year's Festivus Planning Committee, I am hesitant to declare an end to the "airing" component lest I be accused of abusing the power of my office.

When do you and others think we should schedule the "feats of strength"?

Steve

When Midnight is expressed as '2400 hours' instead of '0000'...

THANK YOU!! However (you ?) there's actually three. Their, there and they're and NO, they're not interchangeable. Neither are two, to or too. Some people get upset when you call them stupid because they can't spell. I learned to spell long before computers would tell you YOU were stupid by underlining a word for you in red. I find it hard to believe people hit the "Post Quick Reply" button when half the words they just typed have been underlined in red. When you're trying to make a point and I see misspelled words and the words used improperly (like their/there) I have little faith you know what you are talking about if you write like a 4th grader. Here ends my Airing of Grievances. Best post I've read on here in a while. Keep them coming guys.

Grammer...
