    FA, my other half is British (on my father's side), Welsh to be exact. I gave the eulogy at my father's funeral and had them rolling in the aisles (of the church that is, not the British Isles!), just exactly as he would have wanted. I know he was laughing the hardest.

    If I hadn't got my PhD in Extraterrestrial Psychosomatic Physics I most likely would have tried out for a position (well, that opens it up, or should it be...good, that opens it up?) with Monty Python (I fart in your general direction) or the Beatles. I can drum quite jolly good with my chopsticks then, old chap.

    Aren't you supposed to be checking on that daffy broad down in 307? (Woops, can we still use the word broad?)

I truly feel sorry for the next person who does it to me.

    And BTW, "Good" is perfectly acceptable.

    So F#$@ Y^% Grammar Snobs!


    Ok, sorry. I saw bright white light and then went a little blind there for a moment.

    All is better now. At least until someone is unfortunate enough to correct me.

    I change there to their! You're still evil Sticks!

    Wouldn't one want quotation marks around the original "I'm doing good" and the subsequent "there" and "their"?

    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    I ran into our company President at the coffee machine this morning. He asked me how I was and I answered "I'm good. How are you?" He responded, "I'm well. Well is the correct way to respond, not good".

    I acknowledged that he was correct. After all...he's the boss so I'm not going to tell him to go and stuff himself. Besides, he said it with an evil smirk his face so I knew that he was just saying that because he knew that it would bug me.

    The whole exchange made me think of you JSE.

    Actually my favorite response to the question: "How are you?"

    is:

    "I is good"...

    That tends to stop people in their tracks... and I never get corrected for saying it...

    Been there GM. I met up with L.J. one day about a month ago. I've been spending a lot of time with my audio equipment (BFD should arrive on Wednesday), so I've been a PS3 absentee of late.

Well, garsh, sign 'im up on the grammar department on the local university....Ripostes like that made me come up with "mediocre", "supercilious" or "banal" as answers.

    Aa, normally I would agree with you. But he's actually a really great guy. He knows that I pride myself on my proper grammer and spelling so I suspect that he said it more as a jab/joke at me...hence the aforementioned evil grin.

    Do a little recycling, a little conservation and reduce your carbon footprint. Next time they correct you and say you're doing "well", correct them and say "No, I'm doing good, I've significantly reduce my carbon footprint. How are you?" That should shut them up. Or you could become a "Big Brother" do voluntary work etc.
