More On Free Comp Checks

[Mister Ed]

Actually Ed, first is being used as a noun describing a set in Mr Rex's example. 1st is a number describing - a number. Numbers are not nouns or adjectives they are numbers. Thank you

Graders is the set. First is the adjective describing the set. Nouns do not describe sets. See Merriam-Webster's dictionary for clarification.


From Merriam-Webster's dictionary. "One" or "Two" or "Three" (or any other number for that matter) can be used as an adjective, a noun, or a pronoun.

While they are numbers, we use words to describe them. And in describing them, we define them. And in defining them, we qualify what they can and cannot mean. And in qualifying them, we assign them a part of speech. I didn't make the rules for English grammar. However, I do understand them quite well. I follow them better in formal writing than on forum posts...

Entertainment is often hard to turn away from Ken ... dont feel dismayed ... while it is expensive ... its still entertainment.

Sadly it is reality TV on the AF. Thick appraizurs, or those that just don't care are ruining our profession and our economy... Well done!

You go Doctor English .....

Sorry, didn't get my doctorate in English. A minor in English for my bachelor's degree was plenty for me. However, in my master's work, I honestly believe that all of my professors had secondary degrees in English grammar when I consider the notations on the various drafts of my thesis and the fact that there were more grammar notations than there were content notations.

Fortunately, on the draft reviews, there was no grade--only direction. I was not a great typist, so I was just working on rough sorting of thoughts and data and would clean it up later. What was really fun was when two of my professors on my Thesis Advisory Council were English professors and would make comments like, "You had to know your grammar better than this to pass my class." When I would talk to them later about it, they understood why the grammar was poor on the drafts. I have a file drawer full of every bit of research, every draft (had to provide a draft to all 5 professors) and each note ever written and two bound copies of my final thesis (over 165 pages including the bibliography, etc).

I do not care to work toward a doctorate in any field. A master's degree was painful enough.

I just got back home to see how much progress had been made.....and the progress was exactly what I expected.

I am contacting Wayne to set up a cover charge for this comedy club. 18,100 views is quite a few people watching this train wreck.

You guys are hilarious, bragging you've dismantled my "facts" when you haven't at all. My original assertions stand and they'll be standing long after you guys end up at the point of drooling your disapproval. All you've seemed to be able to manage is dismantle your own logical thought processes to stand up for an indefensible position. I mean, how sad is that - lol. Tragically funny. No wonder this profession is in the dumps. Thanks for the laughs.
I've seen no convincing arguments that anything I've posted about an appraisal in USPAP terms is wrong. Just a bunch of pretzel logic, semantics and parsing about to escape being cornered with logic.

Hahahahahaaaah Tim, too bad the train wreck is the poor minds of these "pros" that can't grasp simple fundamentals and misinterpret the term "appraisal" as words or actions rather than numbers. Uhh, geniuses "appraisal" is what this profession is about so you really should learn the proper use of the terminology if you want respect as professionals. Such a shame.

Still can't find that law that says appraisals must be expressed in written form, huh?:laugh:

I wonder if any of you clients follow these threads, oh never mind your clients like numbers whispered in the wind......

Apprazur .. I see you are ignoring that express also means the spoken word, and that the spoken words you used were in fact in referenced to a benchmark value .... I wish you would address those points.

Your ignoring them is not making them go away.
