<p>blossom–
Slight correction- you are an alumna, unless you have a clone- in which case you and your clone are alumnae. You and I are alumnae. But each of us alone is an alumna. For the guys, one is an alumnus, two are alumni.</p>
<p>Just wanted to address our adult stupidity before those young whippersnappers did :)</p>
<p>Love it. Love it. Bookmarked for the next “best of” thread.</p>
<p>momofthreeboys,
You mean “je temmme” ;)</p>
<p>The simple way to put things on vowels is to go to an online dictionary and use copy/paste. Much easier than typing all those numbers!</p>
<p>Par lay voo CC? </p>
<p>May wee!</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>JYM- that was my point… I am an alumna. But the young 'uns like to call everyone an “alumnae” and get irritated at being corrected. Media is plural but don’t take me down that path…</p>
<p>Ahh, blossom, I misunderstood your post. Thanks for the correction. I guess my internal sarcasm detector was turned off last night 
</p>
<p>And data is plural too. Oops, sorry- you didn’t want to go there.</p>
<p>and criteria. oh, sorry for going there. par dun ay mwah. ;)</p>
<p>I am defenently, definately having some 101 moments this morning!</p>
<p>Bone joor!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>okay, maybe I can finally learn to do this–</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wah lah, tray bee 'n!</p>
<p>Hey, that’s my gansta rap name! Tray B N!</p>
<p>I find it easier to just use quotation marks.</p>
<p>
But it’s easier on the reader if you use this method.</p>
<p>
Thanks for the giggle, Gwen. Now I’m picturing somebody rapping in a beret, striped sailor shirt, & pencil moustache.</p>
<p>Lesson 2: Attribute a quote.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>To do this, replace the curvy brackets below with straight brackets.</p>
<p>{quote=Northstarmom]I find it easier to just use quotation marks. [/quote}</p>
<p>Thanks for the tips!</p>
<p>
:D:D:D
'Dents, oh goodness, I think I need a change of clothes. I’m so using that from now on, GA’12mom!</p>
<p>(Aside, it actually does bother me when people pronounce “alumni” with an “eye” sound at the end and “alumnae” with an “ee” sound at the end… since anyone who remembers Latin I can tell you it’s the other way around. Oh well. Say la vee and cut de grass. ;))</p>
