I wish I had edit power on motorcycle boards....Ha! I wish I had edit power on motorcycle boards. I'm a frustrated editor. I have a small collection of funny errors and such. One guy over at the CX500 (Honda) board wrote about someone that"gave beyond the ultimate sacrifice" and apologized for the "the late delay" while working on his bike for "longer hat eternity" he also thought my bike was "excessive overkill" (I like just the right amount of overkill thank-you very much). He bought his bike "from the previous owner before him" and was working to make it "more perfect" when he ran into a "random stranger" that sold him some "optional extras" including and electric fan to keep his "thermal temperatures" down. Now it's "Complete" except for a few things. Like his "breaks, "because "there" not working right. Now, one guy didn't say all these things at once. I just put them altogether sort of Brian Williams style making it as if it were a single man (not meaning not married) at the time. Although these are genuine gems I've collected from a veritable plethora of a variety of posters. <br /> Cheers, 50gary.

Granted, the person making the literal call probably is engaging in foolish hyperbole, but that's a different quibble.<br /><br />My father used to like to say "intuitively obvious to the most casual observer," a dodge that mathematicians resorted to when they couldn't or wouldn't be bothered to explain a transition. In law school, we were cautioned against using "clearly," etc., not because they were bullying, but because they connoted a lack of confidence in our arguments. Judges could be expected to think irritably, "If it's so clear, show me, don't tell me. What are you hiding?"Texan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/10479561573903660086noreply@blogger.com
