If he could swim, it wouldn't be.

Thank you for this. I couldn't understand who Harding was and why he'd resign.

This is not a correction to humiliate anyone, but one to help you all be clear, because the mistake is rampant.

resign (rih-ZYN) means you're quitting your job
re-sign (ree-SYN) means you're keeping your job

While we're at it, are you aware of the word 'plunder' ever being a synonym for 'diminish' or 'decrease'? I have recently seen a number of people say something to the effect of, "trade so-and-so before injury plunders his value further."

It's ok. Bryz would prefer to play with a forward who scored and was plus in the playoffs.

oh to the ish

Yup people always seem to make that there biggest mistake. You're grammatical help is always appreciated.

Actually it does. Mike Richards doesn't play for us anymore. I was going to allow you to figure this one out on your own.

overall the MOD's give us a lot of rope before they take action.

when someone says "then ban me", the mods need to take action because their being called out to do something.

For the most part we bring the action onto ourselves because we tend to bring down the conversation with the way people respond to other peoples posts.

Almost like add to the conversation instead of questioning the post or always trying to prove your opinion is the right opinion...etc...

I personally think banning for anything is silly but that is Eklund's call being this is his site and the mods are just carrying out what he asks to be done.

If he could swim, it wouldn't be.

A tragedy of epic proportions. One of the great humanitarians. Right there with Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela.

Did Alanis Morrisette really date Ken Daneyko? That was the rumor.

No. That sounds like someone trying too hard to sound smart and getting their stupid on instead.

An example...The word "decimate" means to reduce by 10%. If a population is decimated by disease it means it decreased 10%. But so many people now in the media use it to mean devastated (because somehow they think decimate sounds cooler) that it is losing its true meaning. I like words that have specificity. I feel sad when they are plundered.

They should have a hockeybuzz court room. Give the opportunity to defend your case.

Apparently he was a regular swimmer. So I wonder if he had a heart attack. I guess they're doing an autopsy.

I'm glad they have dictionary.com around this way I can follow what your saying.

Well in the doggy dog world that is the media, one cannot take the power of dramatic words for granite, irregardless of their actual definition.

I like to think so. The roster changes from season to season, sometimes fans need a little reminder of who's here and who isn't. It was tough for me to keep up when I was 12.

I saw an anchor (not one I know) on Sports Center one night use irregardless and immediately after the clip he was introducing ran he apologized and said he knows that isn't a word and didn't know what he was thinking.

Silly season makes me cranky.

Last year I went to lunch on Friday afternoon and when I came back all hell had broken loose. I was so annoyed I honestly considered giving up my tickets. Glad I didn't and feel silly about it now but boy this isn't fun for me at all.
