infosynth commented on CaySedai's group 'Grammar geeks'"The practice of omitting the apostrophe applies to plural forms of abbreviations and acronyms, such as CDs, and URLs (pronounced "earl").
Simply adding an s is the most common way to create the the plural form in English, so all the extra…"
Garrett W. commented on CaySedai's group 'Grammar geeks'"It's also not a contraction, which is why I don't use apostrophes on years."

Someone wrote about disliking the form "80's" to refer to the decade.
In such cases, both forms may be correct depending upon what is specified in the style manual. "1980s" and…"
infosynth commented on CaySedai's group 'Grammar geeks'"Wow, this group isn't very active...
How about a few grammar/usage pet peeves to get the conversation rolling again?
In no particular order:
1. "impact" to mean "affect" "That decision impacts my bottom line."…"

SciFi vs. SyFy: Are you a geek?
Posted on March 16, 2009 at 11:41am 0 Comments 0 Likes
SciFi channel aims to shed geeky image with new name.
The comments are pretty negative about this change. People who either a) fit the "geek" image SciFi is trying to bust or b) fit the alleged demographic are both offended. As a 48-year-old female who has been reading scifi for at least 36 of those years, I agree. (I also like video games, BTW, and my teen daughters do, as well).

my entry for the HP Magic Giveaway

Comments welcome and encouraged. I really need a computer I can use for school. The other computers will find homes with a niece currently in college, a niece planning to enroll in college and my elderly, near-sighted mom (the HP TouchSmart). Make my extended family happy for the holidays!
Thanks!

HP Magic Giveaway
Posted on December 5, 2008 at 5:27am 2 Comments 0 Likes
I just sent Chris an entry for the HP Magic Giveaway. He lives on the West Coast and isn't up this early, so I'll have to wait to see when he posts my entry. This is one case where earlier is better: part of the contest is to see how many comments each entry gets. There aren't too many entries so far, so maybe my chances are pretty good. I'll post when I get a link to my entry.
Crunch time - or panic time

I've got two weeks before finals week. I've got an assortment of undone assignments and performance (take-home) exams to turn in. Two websites, one of which is due for peer review tomorrow. (And both will be critiqued by a committee.) Panic.
I can't brain today. I have the dumb.

Ado Rey said… - Your webpage has a stunning, pleasing color. It's the first time I saw pink on GEEKS. I'm an artist you see, and that's the first thing I notice. I also noticed the pictures of your lovely family. I haven't done that yet, add pictures of my family ie. Maybe in the near future I will. Well, thanks for adding me to your list of friends. A good person is always a welcome respite, not to mention a person keen on PUGS.
