I do that at home...but then number 3,5 and9 hsve to be fixed by a professional
The English language is VERY complicated ππ
Gotta love a pragmatic guy.
Good one, Kandisbar !
Ever since I was a kid, I have always wondered who does the even jobs, plenty of folks who do the odd ones.
I have also wondered..... just who's making the call ? ......this job is normal, that job is normal, this one's normal.....wait a minute ! that's kinda of an odd job, isn't it ?

Excellent kandy
even if I did have to read it three times
I confess, it took me a minute to get that one. Thanks for the help Fixorfish.
I acknowledge your thanks, Dakoda, but I can only pass it on, posthumously,..... to my parents and maternal grandparents.
Dad was a Methodist minister and Mom was a graduate of a prominent Secretarial School. My grandparents were both English teachers, and my grandmother gave me a "Word of the Day" calendar for Christmas, beginning when I was 6.
My pragmatic use of the English language has both been a boon and occasionally, a curse. Correcting a classmate is somewhat acceptable, correcting a teacher or professor or boss..... not so much !
Smart *ss or precocious.....I have worn the mantle of each somewhat proudly, but as I aged, I learned to hold my tongue in a lot of cases. Being "correct" does not always ingratiate one's self to the one being "corrected", nor those observing said "correction".......still working on that !
As my Grandmother always said...."if you realize that you have faults, then there's hope for you !"

Excellent. Admittedly, I had to read it twice.
