    What's Your Favorite Word (That's Not in the Dictionary)?

    I thought of something for one I listed. Anybody used to watch Titus when it was on Fox? (Note to Titus fans: By the way, a DVD set is now available which has seasons one and two.) Dave had bovilexia! LOL! They didn't actually use that word, though. I like that one. Never heard that before...

    I live in PA

    He he! I know, I just had to tease. I don't know, that one is kinda hard to say (compared to Pennsylvania, anyway), especially for people with a lisp. So many S's! Don't forget the mangled, accelerated way many Phildelphians tell you were they live. It comes out sounding like "I live in...

    Why I hate dealing with recruiters...

    Oh my gosh! Are you telling me this actually happened to you?! LOL! Wow! I was just making mine up.

    What's Your Favorite Word (That's Not in the Dictionary)?

    Okay, I just HAD to list some of my favorite from the sniglets site somebody provided in this thread. Bovilexia: The uncontrollable urge to lean out the car window and yell "Moo!" every time you pass a cow. Anticiparcellate: Waiting until the mailman is several houses down the street before...

    What's Your Favorite Word (That's Not in the Dictionary)?

    Here are some I've made up: Defogification: Removing the fog or mist from a glass surface, most often car windows or eye glasses. Fogification: When a glass surface, most often car windows or eye glasses, becomes foggy or covered in mist. Snammunwidget: Some unidentifiable or unknown object...

    Why I hate dealing with recruiters...

    You know, for somebody who is so perfectionistic about my own writing, you'd think I'd stop being so lazy on message boards. LOL. I meant to say "I'll often know...." not "I'll often no..." I also don't have a heda. :-P

    Why I hate dealing with recruiters...

    I just went back and re-read your original post. I suffer from this too: Sometimes stuff like this happens to me. I'll often no the answer to something, but freeze up and forget. Or, I just cannot think. One of my biggest problems is I'll often have about five ways to phrase something bouncing...

    Is proper grammar a lost art?

    LOL! That's great, man. Don't get me started on other aspects of English language. Good food. Why don't those words rhyme? Why do we drive in a parkway and park in a driveway? Why do we call them buildings when they've already been built? We do we call them busts when they stop right before the...

    Why I hate dealing with recruiters...

    Dollie, I'm right with you in the general point of your post. It is never fair to generalize. True, some recruiters (maybe even a lot) could be devious con-artists, but I'm sure many are very honest. Thing is, though, the original post in this thread was about a specific recruiter. That isn't...

    Fire you for little or no reason.

    Oh, I forgot, thanks for the article! It was a great read. I actually really like that site now. A lot of interesting articles.

    Fire you for little or no reason.

    Oh no. Not the old pink slip and a map. Here's an interesting question for anybody who may actually know the answer to this: Are they actually pink?

    I live in PA

    Woops. That was three times, not two. Well, you get the point anyway. "CAW! CAW!

    I live in PA

    I'm from PA too. I know just what you mean. I hear people call it PA (as in Pee Ay) a lot. Never really heard many people pronounce it Pah, though. That seems just weird. Why not? Sounds like a crow. "CAW! CAW! CAW!" ;-)

    Is proper grammar a lost art?

    LOL! That's a great one! I love when something THAT official has a mistake like that. Actually, doesn't that test actually even test grammar and other language stuff? I can't remember. My days of taking that test have long since passed me by. I was just kinda thinking of an example such as "I...

    Welcome to Making an Impression

    Hey cool! Just noticed that I've been added to the FAQ thinger. Just a quick (extremely unimportant) correction. If you happen to be adding anything at some point, feel free to change this if you remember. Anyway, I'm not actually from Stage College, PA. Penn State's main campus is there, but...
