    lower case 'g' for 'god' ?

    'the Gods' refers to a specific set of gods, so the capitalization is proper. 'my Boss' refers to a specific person, so, what's wrong with capitalizing the B? Intuition in my mind realizes that 'my boss' just -seems- proper, but, the more I think about it, the more I can't shake the feeling...

    lower case 'g' for 'god' ?

    Is this a special case specific to the word 'god'? Being at work, my mind is correlating this example to the word 'boss'. As I only have one boss, would saying 'I need to get this done for my Boss' be appropriate? It doesn't seem like it would be... which piston is misfiring in my head?

    Odd Names

    I can empathize with the swearing note; I'm Canadian born and raised, but working at an electronics company, we have quite a few oriental workers here. Many of them opt to go by names more easily pronounced (Example: Rachel instead of Qian), but we have this one man named Fu-Xing. Pronouncing...

    Odd Names

    I don't, now that you mention it. Though I hope you'd forgive me for overlooking this; the name heavily lends itself to He being a male. Calling He a she would sound odd, if the name is in fact pronounced like the pronoun.

    Odd Names

    I wouldn't know, having not met him yet. I'd presume it's like the pronoun. If it -is- 'He-h', then I suppose you're setting up to call him He Li Copter? :)

    lower case 'g' for 'god' ?

    You pray to God. You pray to a god.

    Odd Names

    While creating user accounts this morning, I happened upon a new employee named He Li. I found myself typing the oddest sentence in an E-mail this morning; I thought you people may find it somewhat amusing. "To avoid this, He’s username will be hli2." Without proper capitalization, someone...

    Conecting to wireless router from Nintendo DS

    Update: The D-Link representative suggested I update my firmware (Why didn't I think of this?). My DI-524 RevC was using version 3.04c. Updating to version 3.20 seemed to fix my problem, I can now connect to Nintendo WFC seemingly without any issues.

    Conecting to wireless router from Nintendo DS

    I, too, am having issues connecting to Nintendo WiFi through my wireless router. I had no problems assigning a static IP to my DS's MAC address, and logs confirm that my DS does connect to the router and get the IP I've told the router to assign to it. However, when I test the connection on my...

    English Illiteracy Study

    To answer the above. Also: I find it amusing that a woman with the last name 'Spellings' is quoted in an article about illiteracy.

    Setting up a print que

    The only advanced feature on our printer (Xerox Workcenter Pro 55) that could emulate what I'm trying to perform is the ability to 'delay' documents to be printed at a specific time. Not quite the solution I was looking for, but, an option. I've posted a thread in the general printer...

    Plurals, possessives, and consistencies

    These signs were professionally done. Very large, hanging from the ceiling above their respective departments.

    Plurals, possessives, and consistencies

    While waiting for my sister to finish work the other night, I noticed an odd thing in the way this particular store she works at catagorized their departments. One department was "Woman's", another department was "Men's", and a third department was "Kids". Woman's - Singular possessive Men's -...

    Setting up a Print Que

    Hi there, I made a post yesterday in the XP forum, they said I might have more luck here. thread779-1164732 The general gist of what I'm doing is: I'm printing multiple documents at intermittent time periods, and as a result, when I go to pick them up from the printer (Xerox workcenter pro...

    Setting up a print que

    Hi there, When looking through documents I need to print, I tend to print out each document that I'll need as I see it. The problem with this is, the documents I print are typically all spaced out, sandwiched between other documents other people have printed. Is there a way to set up...
