the loss of the cha inevitable?

Jerseygirl · May 02, 2006, 05:34:22 PM

Oh for Pete's sake can we drop it already? My original comment was meant to poke lighthearted fun at an original perception I had without considering the source. Like maybe "cha" was some sort of New Age visualization technique McKee had picked up on a sojourn to New Mexico and was now taking with him to the big leagues, leaving the Big Red without spiritual grounding.

I'm a huge fan of proper grammar, punctuation and capitalization, but I cut jy3 a break because he's been on here forever, he knows his shit, and after being on call for 24 hours as a doctor, the last thing he needs is to come on here and have people on his ass regarding something that ain't gonna change.

Unnecessary point of order: Old English isn't famous for the no-spaces phenomenon (in fact in my... erm... three semesters' worth of OE study I haven't personally seen images of any OE manuscripts that don't have spaces between words, though that doesn't mean they don't exist). Classical Latin, however, is letter soup.

Hey, my soon to be degree has to be good for something, even if it's trivia.

I'll have to go have another look at my Zupitza when I get back to the office. Maybe it was just the lines that were not formatted, but I remember it being vastly more difficult to follow than a modern transliteration, and was very thankful to Klaeber.

na, the new scripts are too expensive to make a mistake on. plus the difference between 10 and 40 in dosing can kill someone. seems more important than caps and periods, period.

banshee, doesn't old english rock? I miss reading that stuff (<-- I used a cap and an apostrophe without realizing it! maybe I have been infected with the grammatically correct virus thru my pc)

More to the point, the med mal plaintiff-side attorneys can't decipher his progress notes to use for incrimination purposes.

And all caps. Talk about indecipherable.

Good grammar and proper punctuation and capitalization, since they indicate politeness to the reader, have always been class and education indicators. Follow your instincts. The rest of us will draw our conclusions.

Beeeej[/Q]Actually Beeeej you should know that poorly decipherable notes are usually more a problem for the defense. Good documentation is the second best defense.

...unless the notes would've provided a smoking gun if decipherable.

These things go both ways.

follow your own instincts as well. if you are judging levels of class and education according to postings on the internet suggest that those who are passing judgement should possibly look elsewhere or just not do it. now if I was presenting to you in a law school class and I talked or typed as above, then that is a whole other thing.
I think I am done with this.

the poking fun is getting a little old, especially when bringing professional life into things. statements of need for suits and incrimination when you nothing about my professional life suggest the need for you to judge me. no matter how benign appearing the statement is, such a suggestion in any way speaks for itself.

when you actually know me, have at it. I am done with this as well.

Jim, we both know that the cost of the pads gets paid for somewhere, they HAVE to be more expensive since they are taking the place of the triplicates.

enjoy the offseason. it seems that my attempts to bring intelligent discussion about the possible effects felt by all teams in the NCAA from the CHA folding has brought the idiocy of bickering about punctuation and how they tell all about a person.
have a nice off-season

I beg your collective pardon, but in the midst of all the fun and laughter, did anyone notice this?

http://www.uscho.com/news/id,12609/CHASavedLeagueSilentOnSituation.html

The article doesn't say anything definite but does have an interesting quote:

[Q]
With only five teams in the CHA, its automatic bid to the NCAA tournament looked to be in jeopardy, but a new regulation proposed to the NCAA and already passed by the NCAA Ice Hockey Committee has the five-team CHA cluster's playoff champion making the NCAA round of 16.

Good doctors get sued, too, jy3. Take a deep breath and relax. If we're to not care how you choose to communicate because it's "only teh intarwebs," try holding yourself to the same standard.

Have a good off-season yourself.

Right?

Who decides which way is "right" and which is not?

Get off your soap box. You've beat this dead horse long enough.
