I Am Not A Top Commentator

Filed April 26th, 2007 in Common Sense

Even if I get to the top of the ‘Top Commentator’ list in your sidebar, I’m not a ‘top commentator’. I’m a top commenter. I don’t discuss news, sports events, weather and the like on your blog, and I don’t make commentaries. I write comments. I’m a commenter.

    I never even noticed that, Steve. Of course, I started giving up when I began noticing road signs and food labels with mis-spellings.

    On a Chevrolet dealer’s major street sign was this:

    2003 Camero $8995

    Geez, guys. Can you not even look on the car that is right below the sign to know how to spell CamAro? LOL

    I don’t focus on it, but it provides a laugh now and then :)

    I don’t know much about the Devanagari alphabet. One thing I have heard about it though, is that each sound has it’s own letter. I wish we could do that with English. It wouldn’t help with using the wrong word, but it would cure spelling problems.

    Steve, that’s why I call it Avid Conversationalists! Who knows how to spell that?

    Just found your site and I’m loving it. In the feed reader now.

    Thanks Dave–and that’s a good name!

    Wow, Rick. Just looked at a page on the Devanagari alphabet. Invented to write Sanskrit, in the 11th century, it says. And this:

    There are about a thousand conjunct consonants, most of which combine two or three consonants. There are also some with four-consonant conjuncts and at least one well-known conjunct with five consonants.

    Whoa! I have enough to learn, thanks :)

    Hi Steve. Thanks for being the one to break the silence on that one. I never did quite get the commentator thing! I figured maybe it was an international thing.
