Your paragraph above certainly implies that Chris is a victim. >I can imagine you at a job interview: pointing out language errors then >wondering why you didn't get the job. Many of us could easily explain >it to you (albeit in less than perfect wording). I wouldn't know. The last time I worked for someone else was almost 40 years ago. I started my own business then and ran it until I retired. Prior to that, I'd never been turned down for a job that I applied for. The company I owned grew to over 40 employees, and I did view the resumes submitted with an eye to their ability to communicate intelligently in writing and in speech. It wasn't a deciding factor, but it was a contributing factor. The position involved made a difference in weighting. I'd be a bit hesitant to hire someone who doesn't have the initiative to learn what words mean and would write "suite your case" for anything more important than warehouse work. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

I don't usually discuss what I read in newsgroups with my wife. However, the other night she came into the room and was reading one of your posts over my shoulder. When I explained that you were saying that we are bad parents because we sent our kids to Catholic schools, that we support pedophilia by belonging to a parish, and that she was wrong to continue to attend church, she made some comments. My wife seldom uses profanity. However, she did come up with some rather choice words. "Ignorant" was the only printable one. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

"The elephant in the room" is a reference to a major problem or issue that no one is willing to discuss and that everyone avoids commenting on. This subject has been discussed to death in this newsgroup. The subject is all over the media. What is the "elephant in the room" aspect? -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

Some people find some topics of such dreadful import that to mention anything else after the terrible topic has been raised is so gravely insulting as to suggest either a serious mental disorder or collusion with satanic forces. -- Chris Malcolm |
