Not to be anal, but you really should put a "?" at the end of a question.

What Tom probably meant is that you misspelled "obvious" as "obvlivious" thinking that "obvious" was the right word and just happening to misspell it into a word that worked in context. But two wrongs don't make a right. You need to a)get a college education, or b)keep a dictionary and manual of style nearby at all times if you plan to continue posting on this message board.


If you read my above posts, I have reiterated twice why I misspelled the expression "per se". Apparently you ignored that.


My apologies to Tom, but he was the one being obnoxious by correcting each post I did for silly reasons. Why are you so quick to jump to his defense? My response to ironyengine was't mean't to incite any antagonism. You take my reaction far too seriously. Honestly I don't care what anyone says or does on this board because I don't know any of you.

By the way, I do have a college education, and I don't need a dictionary. If the people who want to police these boards have to be petty in this way then what is the point of posting? Kind of takes the fun out of it.

yeah, the person who did all the big black record covers is really 'top drawer', in my opinion. i really really dig all that stuff, and the cover of 'two nuns and a pack mule', as well.

funny, i think the person who did all that design work posts on this forum from time to time, and i've been trying to get him to make some new prints at my print shop recently, because he's insanely talented with a pen.
