peacefuljeffrey 0 #1 October 18, 2004 I keep hearing and reading people saying, "It's our 10 year anniversary," or things like that. What the hell is the need for saying the word "year" there?! The whole point of saying the word "anniversary" is to convey that this is a commemoration of X number of years (spent married, in business, in a career, in a sport, etc.)! It's almost as bad as people saying, "My boyfriend and I are going out to celebrate our 'four-month anniversary'"!! WTF is a "four-month anniversary"?! -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Annus" = Latin for year, "anni" = years (plural).... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn't seem to be doing very well I think that requires the sternest of discipline -- you can talk to the greenies for hints and suggestions Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
