You made my point. You got my message and it didnt take a dictionary.... Its sort of KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid.) Me being a simple person....and barely above the double digit IQ.
As to Shoot, Move and Communicate.. Im surprised if you served in the military you never heard that. If you deprive the enemy of his ability to do any one of those you gain tactical advantage.
Oh Well, I just fly Helicopters, don't need all those big words..anyway havent got time to pronounce them while flying. "Aw Sh**" is big enough.

Of course I take myself that seriously. After all, the only three things that are important in my life are spelling, grammar and punctuation. Nothing else matters.
I have even made a life-long habit of asking young ladies when first we meet if they can spell "paraffin". If they cannot do this straight away without reference to a dictionary then I will proceed no further.
Certainly matrimony should never be considered unless your partner has a complete command of the use of the apostrophe. Using the aberrant apostrophe has ruined many a good marriage.

I congratulate you on your last posting - what a wonderful improvement it is.
I raised my eyebrows about your military statement of "Shoot, Move and Communicate". This could just be in the wrong order where I come from and might just explain why 25 British soldiers were annihilated by American A-10s in the Gulf War.
Perhaps if it had been "Communicate, Shoot and Move" then they would still be alive?

You sure know how to stir the pot.
"raised my eyebrows about your military statement of "Shoot, Move and Communicate". This could just be in the wrong order where I come from and might just explain why 25 British soldiers were annihilated by American A-10s in the Gulf War."
I think that statement above is a bit harsh. I understand the order of the words, I was simply stating the words in no specific order. You have to remember "Friendly Fire, Isnt". I dont know of any war yet where We havent killed our own by accident. In fact I think we may have killed more in training for Desert Storm than occurred in combat (did I spell that right??)
Anyway, enough of this, you look for the girl who can spell Paraffin, I will look for the one who wants me to rub it all over her.......

Uh huh...
As these are anonymous forums the origins of the contributions may be opposite to what may be apparent. In fact the press may use it, or the unscrupulous, to elicit certain reactions.
The above says it all, really...
