Hey, I may be an attention seeking geek, but I’m not a _pathetic_ attention seeking geek. 😛 **Viva** , your kind greetings warm my heart. I’ve been back from shore leave for a couple of weeks (I believe I mentioned it when I came back from my wife’s family reunion) but I have been fairly busy of late. ---

Uh, **Aes** , you may want to check a bit before correcting someone’s grammar or usage. Better yet, leave it to trained professionals like **Viva**. 😉 [Of late.](http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=of%20late) I don’t know about anyone else, but I find that the use of colloquialisms in one’s writing adds a bit of flavor. That’s one of the reasons I always hated writing research papers when I was in college. The approved style tended to be bland at best and stupefyingly boring in many cases. ---

I hate being wrong. :mad: I should tie you to a chair and make you listen to Vogon poetry. Or watch TOS, one. I don’t which would be worse. Oh, and I like _some_ colloquialisms, but only in moderation. I like standardization. ---

It’s only a temporary inconvenience that way. ---

Is this thread about “Enterprise”? (the latest Star Trek series), or are you people bored out of your minds? It’s August, for Chrissakes, why aren’t you at the beach of something? (Or working – that activity for which your employer is paying you.) I get an e-mail about a posting, and it turns out to be crap. I’ve got more important things to do than check in on the children, children. 🆒 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by carnivorousplant \* > \*\*So, you’re getting it on with Future Guy’s woman? \*\* Well, Future Wife is Future Guy’s past ex-wife, even though they aren’t married yet because they haven’t been born. I met her at a disco, already pregnant from a one night stand we were to have one month later, so we got hitched. Or maybe we are married and yet haven’t met, even though our kids are 4, 8, 12, and 15. Or something, time travel makes my head hurt.
