In New Orleans we already know that Hell has frozen over - we found it out last Febriary in Miami when the Saints won the Superbowl!
Sorry, I couldn't resist getting a dig in there!
Instead of I wished I knew, I would say I wish I had known. It sounds a little less clumsy to me. I am still wishing, but I wish I had known it at the time (which hass already passed).
Myself instead of me.
As in: "If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call Joe or myself". I think people think it makes them sound important when all it really does is make them sound uneducated!
irregardless - one of my pet peeves
And I have a friend who "conversates" with people. It drives me crazy - I just want to scream at her when she says that!
When I was at LSU, there was a photographer for the campus paper named Sterling Silver.
There used to be a local Eye Doctor in New Orleans whose first name was Monica. She married another doctor whose last name was Monica. You guessed it - she took his name and became Dr. Monica Monica.

How about people who end e-mails with "... If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call John Smith or myself." It's likt the "My boss took my wife and I to dinner" scenario. You would say "If you have any questions, please don not hesitate to call myself", so why would you say...

I would send an e-mail copying both parties and any and all managment above them. Summarize your conversation with them, and remind them, as Matt said, that all future purchases were to be legally licensed. I would have a statement in there along the lines of: "In order to comply with...

I'd have to go with M*A*S*H and Cosby for the best.
M*A*S*H stayed good even through all the character changes - I think because of Hawkeye (Alan Alda). Cosby proved that you didn't need to be nasty to be funny. And they really acted like a family.
