Actually to be emphatic....One should ALWAYS NEVER say never! -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of John R Bartow Sent: Friday, January 16, 2015 3:20 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] OT: Friday humour Importance: High Never say never to no one -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Dennis Wilson Sent: Friday, January 16, 2015 10:55 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] OT: Friday humour A professor once told me that no one pays attention to parenthetical statements or footnotes...especially footnotes and she felt it was a waste of time to use either. It surprised me because I do look at footnotes, but not generally end-notes, and I pay attention to parenthetical statements. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Bill Benson Sent: Friday, January 16, 2015 7:52 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] OT: Friday humour And dangling participles or preppositions or what-not - those irritate a lot of people. But I feel this is all quite unnecessary stress. I have never ever felt bothered by unmatched parentheses. What I really am botheres by is interrupting parentheses within parentheses. (And here I shall give two examples: (1) This sentence; and (2) Another sentence that has no relevance to the other sentence)). Where's the library at? Question: What comes before a preposition? A pre-preposition?
