>>You really do make an unbelievable number of English errors for someone who writes and speaks for a living.

>>Mike, you've already demonstrated an inability to distinguish between grammar/English errors and subjective use of expressions/terms. I wasn't the only one to point that out. So perhaps all that's left is a belligerent, jealous tirade?

>>Any chance if the attitude you're demonstrating is what led to the end of your last position?

>>I never said I was a perfect writer....and you certainly aren't either....but I've received over a thousand emails since 2004 from people who were very grateful that my column helped them to solve a problem. That carries more weight than this horsecrap.

>>I knew a successful analyst who once said, "I can't spell worth a lique...but I get my point across". And now I have point to make with you.
>>
>>It's obvious you're trying to bait me. Well, be careful what you wish for. Unless you can start offering up some legitimate specifics, you're now in the area of making false public statements.

>"Those who know the old joke about two guys struggling to change a tire and acknowledge, 'this stuff isn't rocket science' will appreciate what I tell my student in my OLAP classes; that there are rocket scientists walking around saying, 'you know, this rocket science stuff isn't exactly OLAP technology.' So I'll provide some definitions, in a narrative-format that follows this flow of the examples in this article." (Hint: there are multiple grammatical errors there).

>Your threat about false public statements reminds me of Danger in "Million Dollar Baby". "My name is Dangerous Dillard Fightin Flippo Bam-Bam Barch outta Polk County, Missouri and I'm going to fight the Motor City Cobra, Thomas Hit Man Hearns, for the welterweight championship of the world!" The character played by Morgan Freeman says in narration that we didn't have the heart to tell him that Thomas Hearns retired years ago.

>Great movie, BTW, one of the best I have seen. It came out of nowhere at the end of the year to win best picture and best director for Clint Eastwood and best actress for Hilary Swank. She was so good. She rides the bus and wants to be a boxer. "The only thing I grew up knowing is I was trash," she says. She hangs out in Clint's gym punching the bag, asking him to be her trainer. "I don't train girls," he says. There is a scene with her family that is like a tour through the white trash hall of fame. I won't spoil any more of it. Watch it.

Your lady is gonna be pissed when she finds out you're drunk...
