| 4671 | 2281 | news | -1 | Re: <cheers> | I think that abbreviations are sometimes quite useful. I certainly wouldn't use them in a news item, but I do use them in online chat where response time can be important. I also commonly use abbreviations in technical writing such as a medical report eg: <br>o/a pt. sitting hunched forward pcc. <br>o/e pt. sob + c/o tight chest pain 8/10 ... <br>etc. Much better than trying to write the whole thing out while your pt. (patient) is having a heart attack. | 2002-02-01 13:56:08 | 4664 |
| 4672 | 2281 | news | -1 | "Lose" != "Loose" | <p>Like the subject says. That one's MY personal "pet peeve" about online spelling (or lack thereof).</p> | 2002-02-01 15:19:30 | 0 |

| 4674 | 2281 | news | 325 | Re: More Grammar | Don't forget "its'" vs "it's". How hard can it be? You just need to expand the "it's" to "it is" and think "Does that sentence mean what I thought it did?" | 2002-02-01 16:51:10 | 4668 |
| 4675 | Kickass Pac-Man | games | -1 | Cool | Excellent mucho. Download isn't working here, but drop by his website for it and other goodies. Just like playing the arcade. And no, I'm not the author. If I was I would fix the link!! | 2002-02-01 20:18:43 | 0 |
| 4676 | Kickass Pac-Man | games | -1 | Re: Cool | Even if you aren't the author, you can fix the link. But I did it for you. | 2002-02-01 20:56:31 | 4675 |
| 4677 | 2281 | news | -1 | Re: <cheers> | i got to agree with you on that one, i wouldn't use them in anything important. i usually don't even use apostraphes(sp?) when i'm not going to be graded on them by my picky ass english teacher; 30 points off a paper because i didn't put three apostraphes in there and we had to type it in the computer lab in an hour 1,000 word paper made from scratch, more than half the class failed that one, i managed to get a 70. | 2002-02-01 21:09:50 | 4671 |
| 4678 | 2281 | news | -1 | Re: <cheers> | Well, it's obvious english isn't your native language, so you shouldn't feel too bad. | 2002-02-02 02:39:58 | 4677 |
