  • [quote]Originally posted by pfflam: The flag raising image from Iwo Jima was not a recreation. It was the second raising after the first was taken down for being too small, but it was not merely a photo op. And the battle was still raging, though…
    in Politically Correct? Comment by gregg January 2002
  • Changing a representation of a widely circulated photo - bad idea. Comparing WTC flag raising in the same light as the Iwo Jima flag raising - bad idea. My understanding is that the Iwo Jima flag raising was recreated after the shooting stoppe…

    in The downfall of Bush... Comment by gregg January 2002
  • Bush is really trying to start WWIII before 2004, for obvious reasons. Besides that, I've heard he wants to make it illegal for girls to go to school in the U.S. It sure didn't help his twins.

  • pscates, use that plastic thing at the gas station. If it's not "pay at the pump" stop at one that is. Or, get one of those Speedpass things that you can use at (some) Mobil stations. I hate standing in line at the gas station waiting for 25 people …

    in How do YOU pronounce 2002? Comment by gregg December 2001
  • I've fallen (into a habit), but I can get up. 3/4 of the time, I say 2000 1. The rest of the time, I say 20 oh 1. I usually say 20 whatever when it's 10 or more. From your dusty old history books, when did Bill the Kill gain control of GB? Well, it …

    in Goodbye Yankee Stadium Comment by gregg December 2001
  • CC, haven't you been to Miller Park yet? It's beautiful. Now, there is some criticism of the high tech roof sitting on the retro-look base. The real cost was around $450M, even though the team kept saying $250M. And it is being financed in large…

    in grammar Comment by gregg December 2001
  • Doesn't the use of an adjective as a noun make it a special condition? That's a good angle. I have to admit I missed that, since I was focused on the singular/plural aspect. I would bring up another common misuse, except I'm not sure who would ac…

  • HF, actually, it depends on if you're speaking American English or British English. It is the convention among the limeys to use 'are' when talking about a group, even if the name of that group is a singular word. I worked with some British folks re…
