Aren't you concerned that your "Broken Heart" auction on Just Beads will
turn of bidders? Tina "E J Ralph" wrote in message ... Hi All I have some auctions running at ebay this week - polymer, ceramic and lampwork.

It's "losing", not "loosing", Emma dear. (In your Justbeads auction text.)

See (to be really annoying....) "losing" is when you lose something. Lose a contest, or your purse, or whatever. Pronounced "Luz". "Loosing" is when you turn something loose on something else, or if something becomes loose (like your jeans are now loose on your ass -- what a great feeling!). If you loose your talent upon the unsuspecting world, for instance. Pronounced "Lusss". See? ~~ Sooz The things that will destroy us a politics without principle; pleasure without conscience; wealth without work; knowledge without character; business without morality; science without humanity, and worship without sacrifice. - M.

yup I saw the typo myself earlier.
I am quite a good speller actually, so do know that it was wrong. But thanks anyway Emma On Fri, 19 Nov 2004 20:15:29 -0500, Kathy N-V wrote: An easy way to remember is is when you lose, you lost the extra "O." I don't know about Sooz, but that particular grammar error is one of my real hot buttons. Another one is the difference between "less" and "fewer." I want to jump up and down and scream when I see the "10 items of less" lines at the supermarket. If you don't know how much, the answer is fewer.

Ah - now that one I didn't know. Less - fewer. So am I understanding right that you can say "I have 3 beads less than you" but if you dont know how many beads it would be "I have fewer beads than you" but never "I have 3 beads fewer than you? or "I have less beads than you?" I never knew that one, but it does sort of make sense. Sometimes the things that are wrong just sound wrong. One that bugs me here, especially in the South East of England where I live is people mixing up the words "Brought" and "Bought" - it is amazing how many times I hear that around here.

You could also say I have brung you this , it could mean both. A local
slang word. LOL Also the words quite and quiet. They get mixed up. Shirley In message , E J Ralph writes Ah - now that one I didn't know. Less - fewer.

Please visit my site www.ejrbeads.co.uk and click on the ebay or justbeads links there to see the auctions Um, Emma, unless you have an alter ego that lives in Germany, there's something wrong with your listings. The first thing to show up in your eBay link is: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...sPageName=WDVW T-Shirt Strickjacke Cape seller ID:rosenkind17 There's two other German listings. However, when I click on ejralph, it does take me to your correct feedback, and then the button there that takes me to 'Seller's Other Listings' does take me to your eBay beads. Beyond bizarre. Unless you really do have 23 Rock CDs for sale. I never thought you were an Arrowsmith kind of girl. -Su |
