When I went in a couple days later to get the stitches out, the nurse said "take of your shirt so I can remove the stitches". So yeah, sometimes it's helpful to have this stuff marked. Or you could have just taken it as a compliment 8 years ago. Today you may have been able to join the #metoo movement....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is with snafu, who wants to eliminate the preceding e in words where x is pronounced x. Ugh. I've already given you one xample, above. Whether is it pronounced as an "x" or a "z" makes it like the letter C (care vs. certainly), which can sound like a "c" or a "k". 28 minutes ago, Superperson1234 said: Oatmeal raisin > Chocolate chip If I'm ever named Emperor of anywhere, one of the first things I'd do is ban raisins in baked goods. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
