CardinalScotts Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 10-6 division champs, winning their all of their last 7 games despite being injury riddled all season? They looked really good and barring the RG3 injury were poised to beat Seattle. No doubt they are the projected division champion next year too. I can see some regression, but I think they are a good team. your right I stand corrected they were 10-6....in a division with one playoff team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills44 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Yes, it's surprising, since supposably we have good schools. Common man, no need to play grammer police on a message board! For all "intensive purposes," yes. Hah. Back on topic, though, I don't see Davis being a dominate TE in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I always associate the word resign with "to quit" but on this board it means "to sign a new contract." I sometimes get confused when people talk about a player on the Bills who "resigns" as a good thing. I think it should be re-sign just to make a distinction.

ExWNYer Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Prolly also annoys the !@#$ out of me. At very least why wouldn't you spell it "probly?" Let me axe you this than...what our you gonna dew bout it? Strong words. Irregardless, his actions speak more louder then his words do anyhow. Yesterday he was mowing his lawn while we we're discussing his resigning with the Skin's, and he was seen too slowly shake his head won time while wiping his brow with his arm. Total regret. Most definitely. Oar sew it seams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills4 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 For all "intensive purposes," yes. BTW, Davis is still in damage control mode. This morning on Redskins Live! he said the following: I was a sales rep in Boston for the top sales division for a fortune 100 company based out of Rochester. You can probably guess what company it was. I have a 4 year degree. I was probably 27 at the time - this was a 4 years ago.. I had a meeting to sell HR software to a top law firm in Boston. I literally said, "for all intensive purposes" and the group I was presenting to started laughing. One of the ladies asked me to repeat the statement. I said, "for all intensive purposes". They obviously got a huge laugh out of it, I was completely embarrassed but somehow I still closed the deal. I immediately called a friend to make fun of myself for being an idiot.

KD in CA Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Periods go inside of quotation marks. http://owl.english.p...esource/577/01/ If you're quoting a whole sentence, yes. "Bill's" was not a sentence. The fact that the quoted word happened to come last in my sentence was incidental. Then again, I'm an accountant so I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills4 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Ouch! Funny story and I hope it was a huge commission. It was a nice chunk of change and worth the embarrassment.

chris heff Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I think you mean homonym and not synonym. You're absolutely right. So that was ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFLstyle Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Thank you. The not knowing "they're" vs. "there" (and "their") and having no clue when to use "your" vs. "you're" is to be expected, but it blows my mind how many times people write "could of" or "would of" on this site. I would venture to guess that posters on here write "of" instead of "have" more than 50% of the time. Oh well. Who cares. I've never understood why people get wrapped up in everyone else's grammar.

metzelaars_lives Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Who cares. I've never understood why people get wrapped up in everyone else's grammar. I don't get wrapped up in it, it just blows my mind when I read some of the stuff on here sometimes. Read the amusing story above from Bills4. You don't want to write a cover letter or send an email to a prospective employer with a "your" when it should be "you're." If just one fellow Bills fan took the time to look up when to use the proper "your" or the proper "there" or when not to use apostrophes, etc. because of the dialogue in this forum, then I feel like we accomplished something. Just looking out for my fellow Bills fans, that's all. Edited May 5, 2013 by metzelaars_lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
