Using 'on'

I was flaccid.

Once.

Once.

(JD, you can appreciate that.)

 

My problem isn't with the AP photographers or the way they have to write their cutlines. I actually do know and understand what their standards are. My problem is with people on the desk that won't take a few seconds to make those cutlines into something worthy of print.

Apologies if my prior post didn't emphasize that point better.

 

And Kelly? You shot a damn mean 3-pointer, too.

 

what do you think of the 3-point line, shots?

 

I feel it should be shortened to 14 feet, 7 1/2 inches. You?

 

Why thank you, shotty! ... and no worries, buck. I actually have a good friend who works as an AP photographer, so I didn't want anyone to think I was slagging them.

 

eh. could care less. hate the sport.

 

I like your paper already.

 

lol

 

I have never heard of "time, date, place" anywhere but on this board. Just FYI.

 

I picked it up rather late in my education, myself. But I accept it as being the truth now.

I will say that you have a lot of instances in grammar/usage where people think their way is the universal truth because it's the only way they've ever known it. Or because somebody told them it was the universal truth when it wasn't really wasn't.

 

but this isn't one of them.
