I'm a veteran user? Nay, merely a post slut.

Remember, even a broken clock is right twice a day. You were bound to come up with something I would agree with once in a while. Keep posting, it might happen again.

Member Weltall, there are at least 3 members that dicyphered medorator to be moderator, I think that most intellegent individuals are not thrown off my a mispelled word to know its intent, I have allready conceded and opologised for my astrocious grammer and spelling,n mercy!n I percieve my life in Heaven,although I'm nowhere near an individual that must really be in paradise, like bill gates, I'm in Heaven simply because I am concious of the world about me, my PC,TV,and my wife by my side,what more can one ask for??

I know what you were trying to say. I was generalizing your other posts. I wouldn't think Bill Gates is in paradise, what with the issues his company has to face, but I figure your last sentence other than that makes a whole lot of sense.

Here again I must agree.

Still hoping, though, to hear myself referred to as "Member davidm"

Member Davidm, I read somewhere of the correctness of addressing fellow members to be correct to apply 'member',, I also read somewhere in an english text that 'are' are the the correct word in place of 'is'. as a linking verb, 'bussiness English' 4th edition,

Singular = is
Plural = are


Just write it the same way you talk, dude.

Member Andy, when I first started to use 'are' in place of 'is' , it seemed awkward, but as I kept using it,it kinda grew on me, and decided to use 'are' as a peculier style, it drives some members up the wall,heh,heh,...

Member Cojana, my dictionary lists six meanings for member. I was enjoying your salutation in the spirit of meaning No. 2: the penis.

As for is/are, "is" links to singular formulations and "are" to plural ones. Thus:

He is a member.

They are members.

So, in your post above, since the word "word" is singular, the correct form would be: ."...are [B]is[/i] the correct word in placed of 'is'...

Though, of course it really isn't... except when linking to plural nouns. Now even I'm getting confused ...
