You know after all these months and instructions by about a gazillionbillion (neologism) individuals I NEVER EVER get it right. I am going to go back to th/e/an. I have read and read and read the correct usage and have a TOTAL mental block. My BFF is a "language arts" teacher in the Who's Who of Education three times and cannot get it in my brain. Just accept the VV will be consistently correcting me. :oops: :-o :cry: :-(
AuntiE I told you then has to do with time than has to do with choice

As opposed to some, I freely admit my inadequacy on these words. "My" Alex tried to help. I thought I had it learned; however, have failed even Alex's attempt to help. At least, the Navy personnel are being kind. :thumbup:

So you discovered bribery does work.
It was in no way an attempt at bribery! :!: :hunf: It was an attempt to make his life more comfortable. If we do not do so, I fear greatly there is a vehicle in great danger as is a computer.

Warts? Don't you mean "disitnguishing characteristics? Anyway, Mr. and Mrs. AuntiE got banjo a present, so they get lots of passes.
Please explain what a "disitnguishing characteristic" is.
Is that similar to a "distinguishing characteristic"?
Oops, I guess we should give you a pass! :mrgreen:

Now that's below the belt. Wait until I inform Boot about that.
"Boot" has a critical eye directed at our fair lady, as I speak. I believe she has taken enough for her horrendous error in grammar. I shall let her off...at this time.
Her joke is, yet, another poke at the male g****r. I am considering action on that front, also. :hunf: :evil: :lol:

However, the Marines have not provided any assistance to resolve my total inability on these two words. Only "my" Alex of the Navy has been helpful! :!: :!:
Of course, it may be the Marines who fit the second portion of the "oil change" scenario. 8-) :roll:

We were truly happy to obtain what you were seeking.
I have no idea why I am completely blocked on then/an. No one has any idea how frustrating it is for a grammar/spelling/sentence geek such as myself. :!: :!: :thumbdown: :oops:

That's okay, Salty. The poor dear doesn't understand our emotional attachment to the "Corps". :hunf:
Have a shot of tequila, and lessen the pain from her unconscionable abuse! :roll: :thumbup:

I am going back to utilizing my old standby of th/e/an. Your "squid" friend, otherwise known as "my" Alex has again provided clarification. I fear it is a wasted effort.
Such is an unmitigated prevarication! :!: :!: If you would engage your jar shaped head, you will recall I have posted many amusements poking fun at the female g****r. It is my way of allowing those of a lesser level (males of the species) to be amused weekly. :mrgreen: :-o :shock:
