Meh!!
"Available" used to be my bęte noire. Now it's "visit". You get that all the time with ads that include a website. _________________ DBCooperVO.com

It's not really a "can't say" for me, but why do knucklehead radio station AEs always include the phrase "located at" in the copy they write. It is almost always unnecessary. _________________ Lee Gordon, O.A.V.

I'm being generous and giving them the benefit of the doubt. There may be a case where the use of "conveniently located" could possibly be justified. But never "conveniently located from everywhere." People should be pilloried for including that in a commercial. _________________ Lee Gordon, O.A.V.

I thought there was something I needed to learn about breath support as there was something I couldn't manage today. As it turned out the only thing I needed to know was that a sentence without comas or other punctuation should not contain 34 words most consisting of multi-syllables.

Usual laissez-faire approach somewhat over shadowed this week by an attack of the black death/pubonic plague/sore throat and near terminal dandruff with plaque acid bacterial complications.
