Re: Proper Names - Definition

Look again. It's clearly there.




Mmmm .... it seems to me that you are considering it right to compare my spelling mistakes on the forum to a finished work of art because of the number and severity of my mistakes. Is that correct? If so, cripes, are they really *that* bad? Even when using the spell checker? I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that one because I think I'd have to make some pretty serious mistakes, and a serious number of them, to deem the forum / finished art comparison viable?

Come on! You're not serious are you? You couldn't really have so badly
misconstrued my comment, could you? (If you truly did, try re reading
it slowly and carefully.)




What ... me? ... Serious?? ... Never!!!! Well, you've got me stumped on this one Dominic. I've gone through the threads and read it s l o w l y and c a r e f u l l y ...... and I'm still stumped. Now don't get angry with me, I'm trying my best really I am This particular discussion started from your comment "Actually, I don't even agree with you that designing is art" in Post 78? How did my comment "we are discussing art, not science" state that I thought designing is art? Does that not assume that what we've already been discussing is design not art? Anyway, as I stated in Post 92 "That subject perhaps needs a thread of its own" and I don't think we should get side tracked again, I've just noticed that I can't see any postings on this thread before Post 31, even when I click on 'Show All Messages'. Can you see posts before 31? (I guess it will go up after I post this). All my wonderful intelligent ... er ... sensible ...... accurate words of wisdom, gone! Lost into cyper space I think perhaps we have reached the memory limit on this thread and the big jaws of 'reasonableness' are creeping up behind us gobbling up our words.

At least you're admitting that "Halfords" and "halfords" do convey different
impressions to people, and the impression that is conveyed to the target
market is what matters to the board or CEO.




Yes, the impression it gives is that it's following fashion, and I think we all know that our nations are like sheep when it comes to fashion. Sense goes 'out the window', as in the word 'unisex' and the ripped jeans I see for sale at the same price as perfect jeans.

Shouldn't that be "English", Richard?




Ha ha .... you absolute rotter, you caught me out at my own game. Yes, I think it should be a capital. I messed up there. Actually I feel sure I read somewhere that there is a time when lower case is used for words like 'english' and I had a feeling it was when referring to the language as opposed to the people, but I've looked it up and the language should have a capital.

Nb. Do you know what? It had the choice of 'wonderfull' in the spell checker.
