Now, you may be asking why I would point out such a tiny error, and what difference does it make, anyway? Good question. It's not the few letters here or there on the post that matters. It's the lack of attention to detail and perhaps a deficit of grammatical acumen that matters.

Remember, this is the same guy who made a big deal over a trailing one versus a zero. Wow, you're right, you can't afford to trust anybody with such poor attention to detail.

He obviously was running short of "n" letters.

I think it's a debating strategy. Call attention to a minor detail that the person missed, to establish that the person that you are arguing against is an idiot, and obviously doesn't know what they are talking about. Then establish that you are an expert, and know what it is that you are talking about. Therefore, as far as the article you are debating, you must be correct.

Unfortunately, if everyone already knows that you are the smartest kid in the room, you really don't need to be rubbing everyone's face in it. Doesn't help you score additional points, even with the teacher.

Hey, can you show me where I corrected your typo?

Don't you think you're being a little hard on Sluggo_63?

Ha! And that's all I'm going to say.....

Got to be a typo, grammatical error, or something not precise via the contract or TA in that sentence

Something tells me you're putting a comma where I did not. Commas save lives, you know.

Hasn't it always been based on date of signing in the past?
There are a lot of upgrades between the Aug and Nov. This means they would have to pay a lot of people higher bonuses. Also it factors into the proration of the LTD folks. If they are back at work they would get more money.

I'll go with the "or" part of my statement and offer the following example (although transposing MA's block number for his council number was as much a typo as an error of ignorance)

I live in the real world. If striking is our ultimate trump card...we have no trump card. And if you are taking comfort in the words of an LEC chairman who thinks we can strike, you are opening yourself wide open to major disappointment.

Try again.


Is this how you've read the TA?
