Well, of course you can, Feebs! I mean, nobody would ever think of calling you petty. After all, this transcript issue is just huge.
I've shared so little, and yet feel that I've shared so much? Or, I've shared plenty, and your disastrously bad memory never registered most of it? What happened along the way, I wonder, that caused your memory to deteriorate so badly? Or were you born like this? well, to tell the truth Judy, I can just be thankful that I'm not burdened with whatever events caused you become the petty person you are, or have become. something happened along the way. perhaps the fact that you share so little, and yet feel that you've shared so much tells some of the story, if you know what I mean. work on it. I think you'll be able to figure it out. (-: ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : Try reading what I wrote again. You missed the point. (No surprise, but I do understand that you want to make a big deal of this if you possibly can.) Sure Judy, you seem to feel it's important to apply a rigorous standard in setting where it really doesn't matter much. But that's your prerogative of course. Sometimes that pays dividends here, I think. Oftentimes not. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : It's actually not fine, because it's misleading to those who know what the word means. Basic rule of thumb: If you don't know what a word means and are too lazy to look it up, don't use it. In this case, it appears that the idea was to show off by using a fancier, more technical term when the word "article" would have sufficed and been perfectly clear. But the more technical term was used incorrectly, and lack of clarity was the result. I would have liked to have seen a full transcript, so I asked for the URL. The response to that request revealed the error, which Richard has been compounding with his own irrelevant comments about "legal documents" and school records, which had nothing to do with the issue. I think for the great majority, (probably 99.9%) of people who have some education, and for purposes of a chat room, the use of the term transcript in this instance was fine. I think everyone understood it for what it was. Now, maybe it, if someone felt so inclined it might warrant some minor clarification. But doesn't it seem a little out of whack to attempt make some over sized issue out of this. You might want to direct that last comment to Richard. (Of course, you're now attempting to make it an "over sized issue" yourself without even having understood what the problem was.) But perhaps "grudges" must always supersede general cordiality. No, "grudges" aren't a factor here, except perhaps for yours against me. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <emilymaenot@...> wrote : You are in delusion too much of the time, Richard. I don't know if you really believe your convoluted posts or if you do it on purpose to amuse yourself. You are losing/have lost all credibility with this MO. The point was to clear up Share's lack of knowledge about using the word "transcript" to mean "article" - it was an inaccurate use of the word in the way she was applying it. Your post is completely irrelevant and meaningless.

You are overruled 2-1: On FFL and most other discussion groups, a transcript means any written record of a speech, debate, or discussion, not a legal document. Sorry, you don't make the rules around here. Now take your seat, Ms Stein.
