I think nothing would be preferable to 'sure'. I like your revised statement: "And, of course, I AM a fountain of wisdom :-) as Jean pointed out." Sorry to pressure you on this but I used to grade papers for my mother - a teacher for almost 40 years. She would not be happy if I let this go by unchallenged. I am sure that you realize how important this is.

I suggest 'surely' instead of 'sure' Hi Kam! Well, technically . . . But "you sure . . . " is a colloquialism so the rule is only loosely applied, or perhaps not applied at all. And, of course, I AM a fountain of wisdom :-) as Jean pointed out. > On 8/7/07, Pete Theisen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You sure are a fountain of wisdom... -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
