I'm glad MY all is invited, but what about everyone else? They might want to come too.

Can I come too? Can I? Can I, huh? Huh? Please, oh please?

Manny, run away and marry me instead.

Okay, we all know the WHO and WHAT. The questions are when, and WHERE. The last W we know. Do tell...

Manny,

You repeatedly make the same error. It's you're, as in you are all invited, not your, as in it belongs to someone other than you. If you're going to troll, at least learn some proper usage of the English language. It's not that tough when you only write nine words.

FUCK YOU JIM

-- Manny (No@dip.com), April 11, 2000.

Manny:

See, you got three words right that time.....except for the caps lock key being stuck on.

-- Jim Cooke (JJCooke@yahoo.com), April 11, 2000.

See, you got three words right that time.....

I beg to differ, Jim. I believe that proper usage would demand a comma to separate the phrase, thus the proper quote should have been :

FUCK YOU, JIM

And, of course, you mentioned the caps lock problem.

Looks like he's been taking lessons from ceeper. LOL

Jim Cooke,

How dare you put words in Manny's mouth. As the first respondant, I believe he was specifically referring to MY "all" and no one else's.

Why would you *assume* he isn't writing exactly what he means?

Frank

-- Someone (ChimingIn@twocents.cam), April 11, 2000.

Hmm,

Not to nit-pick, but as all caps tends to imply shouting, how about,

"FUCK YOU, JIM!"

Adding some final punctuation for good luck and awaiting the NEXT correction,

Frank

Hmmm:

I stand corrected. Your observation about the comma placement is right. But at least I noticed the caps lock.

Frank:

Sorry. It may be indeed that since you were the first to respond that you can rightfully claim that "your" is indeed all yours. This would, however, make the guest list rather limited for the coming nupitials. It may be that the printed, formal invitations will be the only thing that can put this issue to rest :^)

"It may be that the printed, formal invitations will be the only thing that can put this issue to rest :^)"

Jim,

You have my vote for best chuckle of the night,LOL!!!

-- capnfun (capnfun1@excite.com), April 11, 2000.

Jim,

You're right. In English there's no difference between the second person singular and the second person plural, so "your all" could refer to either one person's "all" or many people's "all"s.

In a romance language this controversy would have been avoided.

But I still think he was referring to MY "all",

Anywayyyyy, where will the gift list be posted...I am all a tither waiting to find out what brand of toilet paper to purchase for the wedding!

-- Ken (kjacks@peoplepc.com), April 11, 2000.

Now this is getting funny.

Kjacks, please don't bring toilet paper to our wedding. Between Manny and I, we could teepee every house on the north side of town.

Personally, I would prefer someone give Manny some diapers (yeah, I remember, Manny :o) and me a spell checker in the comment window :o)
