Okay, time to throw up the BS flag. What does this have anything to do with Elecraft? 73 Matt W5LL On Mon, 2008-08-11 at 04:58 -0700, Darwin, Keith wrote: I too am concerned about the erosion of English, but "build" as a noun does not bother me (or Webster for that matter).

America may have talent, but with a title like that, it makes sound like idiots ... I think the show actually is a take-off of a show if the same "got" name from the UK?? Waaaay OT. Don't get me started complaining about the US media's coverage of the Olympics LOL! - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charles Harpole Sent: Monday, August 11, 2008 3:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] "build" is not a noun Please help the English language maintain some little bit of coherence and do not use "build" as a noun, as in "Did we do a build today?" Better and already established as English, and not techno-speak, is "Did you build it today?" Is Eubonics next?
