Actually, leverage is a great economic concept. I suspect most people who use it don’t have the foggiest (sp?) notion what it is or how it works. I use alot (the process, not the word)!

Ha-ha! I see the mods agree with me. Your thread has been moved to general/chat, where it should have started out, since you felt the need to post it.

Why did you abuse the news/activism forum to post this useless thread?To get under your skin, of course. :-)
To: thefactor; djsherin
Can you believe how MOST spellings of “that word” are WRONG on the ‘net?
Ask them if they know this word: “finate”.
There is no such. But there is “finite”, and it is the root of the word they screw up.
I have finite patience for this or other errors. That includes those who hold to new-fangled standards about punctuation INSIDE quotes when it has nothing to do with it. It makes no sense.

I’ll tell you a pet peeve of mine.
When people mean “lose” and say “loose”. That annoys me to no end!
