lol @ all of ya's :-P

It strikes me as extremely odd that "an historic" is considered proper grammer - it really makes me a bit batty every time I hear it, to be honest.


I'm originally an infrastructure consultant with an emphasis on court management and automation, specifically in developing and executing implementation plans for reform projects. Spent 6 yrs working overseas for USAID funded projects, then moved back here (USA) and now consult for several different court management software firms and national programs. It was a great job, and one I hope to go back to when my son is a bit older.

I also own a mid-sized DJ company. We do about 250-300 events/yr, and I have 18 people working for me. It's the best job I've ever had!

I'm also currently in school for a masters in web programming - as I've discovered lately that I really enjoy that end of the production chain as well.


yeah....I get bored easily...I tend to heap too much on my plate.

NOW3P: I think that may be more of a British thing. I'm sure others could correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the British pronunciation of words like historic is basically with a silent "h."

Of course, grammar/usage is so dynamic that I doubt anyone would question you if you said "a historic" assuming you pronounce the "h."

Anyway, despite the fact that I made the joke that I'm judging you all based on your grammar, I find grammar to be just as boring as anyone else.

the internet is too short for grammar lol lol lol ,.,.,. aaaaaa

I will say I find it incredibly annoying when the internet/texting shorthand starts entering spoken language. I heard a kid say "OMG" about 4 times when I was out renting a movie the other day.

Not "Oh My God," but actually saying just the three letters "O-M-G." It was like nails on a chalkboard to me--I honestly wanted to turn around and yell at the kid to just say "Oh my God!" or "Oh my gosh!"

this is how u know your old twain lol

Don't really know the rules here. Just going by what sounds best to me.

It's AN historic occasion.

BUT

There's A history book on the table. (wouldn't say "an" there.)

Explain that, professor Twain.

NOW3P: nice video, heh. I'd quote the best line, but you pretty much already did that :)

Since we're posting fun grammar-inspired videos, here's some Brian Regan too.

Eddie Izzard is one of the funniest comedians I've ever seen - his routine in French/German/English is freakin hilarious! I like Brian Regan's particular style of artistically butchering the English language as well. :-)

I KNEW IT!!!
