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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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

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?

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

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!" ;-)

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...

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...

Thanks for the welcome. Also, not sure if you are reading the thread where I said it (in fact, I can't even remember which thread it was anyway), so I wanted to take the moment to thank you for bringing us this message board. Since I was a newbie, some folks told me that you are the...

Cool. Thanks. I'll look into that job title too.

Lucky for you. I'm glad you didn't get stuck have to deal with that kinda crappola. I certainly wasn't doubting what you said. I was just illustrating how obsurd it was that somebody would have noticed the gal eating a piece of candy. Hey, you think next they'll fire somebody for sneezing? ;-)

I think my company typically likes to promote from within when possible. That's what folks seem to tell me who have been here long enough. Seems they usually only like to take completely new folks at entry level, if they have any control over it. Then again, I guess that is probably typically...

Actually, in a professional situation, it is still pretty bad to have bad grammar on the phone. You are so right, though. In writing it is so much worse. That is so much more permanent. I can just picture some angry customers printing out the poorly written e-mail responses and showing them to...
