    This is what Rich is trying to describe.

    Think twice please.

    As long as we're making fun of eachothers' grammar, hey X! ...

    From his blog linked above:

    "If you are brave enough, or fool enough to follow me into the murky darkness, you are talking a risk!"


    talk
    /tɔk/ [tawk] –verb (used without object)
    1.to communicate or exchange ideas, information, etc., by speaking: to talk about poetry.

    take - [teyk] took, tak·en, tak·ing, noun –verb (used with object)
    1.to get into one's hold or possession by voluntary action.

    I think the latter is the one you intended =D

    Probably too new to make fun of people,
    -Jorge

    OOOOooooo The dreaded Coup de Maitre...or the heavenly Coup de Maitre, depending on you point of view. I still think it sounds like a medieval torture technique.

    Grammar police officers having a field day?

    BTW, I curl the upper lip around the upper teeth and smile at the same time keeping my mouth shut. Works every time.

    I am glad to see you were taught to keep your lip taut so that X would not taunt you.
