    I can't identify that marker! What would it say?

    make noneditable editable?

    I created a website in dreamweaver, then when I couldn't figure out how to do something I opened it in Front Page to do it, and now I have a copy over in Dreamweaver again. But there are areas that I can't see in the layout. The html is there and they show up in the browser. I'm pretty sure...

    Legalese

    All contracts can be terminated by agreement by both parties, even if the contract states that the contract cannot be terminated for any reason by any party to it. But most contracts include a clause that states in some form or other, This contract may be terminated by agreement by all parties...

    Ban 'Fail' from Classrooms

    No, trolls don't need politically correct names; trolls are trolls, just like dogs are dogs and bats are bats and goats are goats. Dogs aren't "felinically challenged" just because they're not cats, they're dogs. Trolls aren't centaurs, they're another species of being. They have certain...

    conditional formatting worksheet

    Dale, that was a great service you provided in creating that wonderful teaching tool. Several people who have seen it here have used it to learn the fundamentals of conditional formatting. I think I remember that we even did some wierd posting to that thread so that it would stay on top so...

    Ban 'Fail' from Classrooms

    I think the wizarding world got it about right: "O for Outstanding, the highest grade E for Exceeds Expectations A for Acceptable, the lowest passing grade P for Poor D for Dreadful T for Troll or terrible which is the correct name for this grade " Thanks, Ms. Rowling. The wizarding...

    "You people"

    I take it that you're differing on the part about northerners missing it? It's just funny to hear someone from the north (without any southern roots, that is) misusing the "y'all." And the north seems to think that the south is backward--geez--don't even know how to use "y'all!

    to apostrophe or not to apostrophe

    People who are grammatically-challenged don't notice the errors nearly as much as those who are gramatically-educated. For someone who has been systematically drilled in proper speaking, listening to someone speak very badly is distracting from their own message. Reading badly written stuff is...

    to apostrophe or not to apostrophe

    WOW--this has really gotten good! Language doesn't really irritate me until someone who should know better or wants people to consider them "educated" makes an error that immediately alerts me to their lack of refinement. One example, in written communication, is "alot." Another one is...

    Proof that English is an absolutely crazy language

    Here in America we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway.

    conditional formatting worksheet

    I can't remember exactly how I got it, but I think that someone posted an email address and we responded and requested it. you can send a request to southernfriedyanqui at yahoo dot com and I'll send it to whomever wants it. just so you know in advance, I don't keep that account up all the time...

    conditional formatting worksheet

    I will have to examine the file very carefully to see if there is anything to prevent its dissemination. I can email it to anyone that would like it, but it would be better if someone can help me find a place to put it so it can be downloaded. I don't have a website to put it on.

    conditional formatting worksheet

    No,but I did find it, while I was looking for something else. The file is named Name and Age, and it's an interactive, humorous introduction to conditional formatting.

    "You people"

    I grew up in the north, and I've live in teh south all my adult life. I can't ever remember using the phrase "you people," but I remember using "you guys." When girls talk about boys, they usually say "guys," and when they talk among themselves, they say "you guys," becuase even though they're...

    conditional formatting worksheet

    I know how to do the conditional formatting. But this particular sample was clever and humorous and taught the concept very well using clear and pertinent examples.That's why I'm looking for it again.

    conditional formatting worksheet

    helpful, but I'm still looking for the one I had. I was sure I'd saved it as something significant like "conditional formatting.

    conditional formatting worksheet

    Yeah, I know that, but I was looking for this particular spreadsheet that demonstrated it to people who have never used it before. It was really clever and well done, and I KNOW it came from this site, but I can't find it now.

    conditional formatting worksheet

    Some time ago someone had posted a link to a worksheet that showed exactly how conditional formatting worked. I was sure I'd saved the worksheet but now i can't find it. Does anyone here remember what I'm talking about?

    Southern USA Get Together

    We came through okay in our area, all we had was twigs from the neighbors' trees in our yard. the next county got it again, and further east, over near Panama City, really felt some wind, but still nothing like Atmore and Brewton got from Ivan. This was not a typical hurricane, Ivan flew more...
