Re: Monthly Posting of the use of the THERE THEIR THEY'RE words

Give us a break Tim; you're wasting bandwidth again! When I read an usenet article, I'm willing to accept mistakes and inconsistancies as long as they don't get in the way of the "meat" of an article. I suggest you do the same. If you're really going to post this "monthly", post it to alt.english.there.their.they're.words instead. For proper use of words I'll reference Webster's and english textbooks and not your posts in comp.databases.informix!
