They at least know that we have no idea who did the work so it isn't personal.<br /><br />J.G. I tried passive agressive niceness, you would not believe the number of times I said hello to the man only to be snubbed. Then I tried just staring at him, my own little mind game. Now I just pretend he doesn't exist, between bouts of stunned amazement.<br /><br />One great phrase is, "the ovens were placed in a battery" They mean that they were grouped together, and battery <I>can</I> work that way, but it is an extremely odd use of the word.....she did a literal translation and it is almost meaningless.

It's too bad I think it results in missing out on the joy of knowing and being known. But some people get stuck and as Dr. Seuss says, getting unstuck is not easily done.hoorayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760905479527589272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-17463114273045092242009-04-30T09:09:00.000-07:002009-04-30T09:09:00.000-07:00Maybe the bloke has Asperger's or something.
