There, I got to it!

(That was easy!)

The Cellar: Where yesterdays tomorrow is today.

The Cellar: We're not as deep as you think.

The Cellar: When there is nothing like a fine, aged whine.

Whit · 04-22-2003, 08:15 PM

The Cellar: Where thought provoking discussion is talked about.
The Cellar: Where somebody might agree with you.
The Cellar: Because you have nothing better to do.
The Cellar: It beats doing you job.

     I actually kinda like the first one.

The Cellar; Who else would let you in?

The Cellar; When your Mama turns you away.

The Cellar; When you run out of chocolate.

The Cellar; The tribe with no reservations.

The Cellar; What Elvis left the building for.

Undertoad · 05-04-2003, 02:49 PM

Those last two are right in the zone, imo.

richlevy · 05-17-2003, 12:00 PM

The Cellar: Gimme' Shelter

The Cellar: Where age and wisdom never meet.

The Cellar: Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? We do.

The Cellar: Accept no substitutes unless you can get them really, really cheap.

The Cellar: The checkout line of the marketplace of ideas.

The Cellar: This week - Free Shipping!

The Cellar: The next best reason for the First Amendment after porn.

The Cellar: More flame than a weenie roast in Pompeii.

Undertoad · 05-17-2003, 02:08 PM

Excellent

The Cellar: affect means to influence, effect means result.

It's not funny, but I really think it needs to be on the front page as an everyday reminder before people will get it. Or, maybe it could be in the FAQ (if we have one).

xoxoxoBruce · 05-19-2003, 06:28 PM

Will putting that up effect what people write? Will the affect be good?:p

Tobiasly · 05-19-2003, 06:59 PM

Thank you juju. I'd never heard that before; hopefully it will help me.

I'm normally very anal about such things. If I see someone use "it's" as a possessive, I can pretty much write them off as far as having any intelligence goes. So I'm constantly pissed off by the fact that I know "affect" and "effect" are commonly transposed, but I can never myself remember which is which.

Now, if someone can explain "different from" vs. "different than" in a way that sticks in my head, I'll be set.

Mistake. Never confuse ignorance with intelligence. Also sometimes people write with passion or hurriedly. I've written posts and reread them over several times, only to go back the next day to find I've written the instead of they. It's funny how, when editing you can read what you're thinking instead of what you're writing. But, maybe this only happens to me.

If you're hip to thourough editing, read your work from end to beginning. You'll pick up almost every mistake you've made.
