NoTail Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Punctuation is very important. For instance the misuse of the colon can change the meaning of a sentence radically. Take this example: Susan ate Jane's sandwich. Or Susan ate Jane's colon. Credit to Jack Dee , I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the over-engineering down to the DOI's wet dream to extend their electric tram toyset along the promenade? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is incredible how incompetent they all are . That's management structure of course . Wonder are they all having a internal competition to see who can come up with the biggest or most original scheme to totally piss us all off . I'm sorry but in private sector they would have been a cull . 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
