About the only time my tool post slips is when the loose nut running the machine forgets to tighten it down. Mike

Thanks Mike I needed that laugh!

Get one gender incorrect in French and they refuse to understand you.

It's all greek to me!

a punctuation mark ( ’ ) used to indicate either possession (e.g., Harry's book ; boys' coats ) or the omission of letters or numbers (e.g., can't ; he's ; class of ’99 ).

Kind of confusing since there are so many exceptions to the rules of English.

One thing I have found in my travels is that English can be mangled virtually beyond belief but you can still understand what they are trying to say no matter how appallingly the other person speaks and pronounces it.
I think there is an amazing amount of redundancy in the English language to allow this.

English is a contextual language which means, even if you cannot speak the queens English (to all the brits, I'm Native Texan and and speak Texas English) you will likely get your point across....
