“Delete your account.”
I taught everyone on this thread about the difference between “fiancé” and “fiancée”. Why would I want to delete my account, jerk?
I doubt most people know the difference. Most people aren’t well-acquainted with spelling English words, much less French ones. Do you actually believe that our school system produces students who know that blonde is spelled differently if it refers to a male?
All spelling issues aside, his former girlfriend is a woman and his current girlfriend/fiancée is a woman with whom he had a daughter in 2017. Addiction and a stabbing was mentioned in more than one article. No where does it say he was a homosexual, and I have to wonder why it’s so important to some to imply that he must’ve been. Not every actor is a sexually confused.
His sister probably did know the difference - but when speaking with the "journalist," she didn't bother actually spelling out what she was saying. Instead, she simply spoke, relying upon the "journalist" to properly transcribe her words.*
Big mistake!
Regards,
*Or what would you expect?! Sister: My brother was found unresponsive by his fiancée. That's spelled f-i-a-n-c- "e" with an accent aigu... No, no: Not "grave" - The other way! - and then another "e."
Tommy Grand and Joey Greco left some big shoes to fill. I think that the episode where they caught the guy cheating on the boat and Joey got stabbed was the high point of the entire show.
I was at a conference in Dallas a few years ago. I was almost tempted to try and find Lovers Lane. ;-)
You didn't teach a lot of other people who read this jack, either. ;-)
I'd heard the term was "bottom".
Wow that is sad. RIP.
If you are still expecting language purity in the digital age, you are in for a life of continual disappointment, bordering on outrage. The days of copy editing are dead and gone.
“I doubt most people know the difference.”
BINGO!
I was simply trying to educate some ignorant FReepers! Are you against education? ;-)
Doosh a whatbag...
“If you are still expecting language purity in the digital age, you are in for a life of continual disappointment, bordering on outrage.”
Nah, I am not disappointed or outraged. Others, ( read that as DU and their like, ) read our posts. They use our posts as “ammunition” against us. When errors happen they laugh at us and call us “ignorant.”
That is my only motivation!
Of course, you have the option to remain ignorant and accept errors! ;-)
Why are you not amused, an amused spectator?
ROFL
Our posts were not the originator of the error. You’re taking it too far. Peace out.
My daughter and only child died in her sleep of cardiac arryhthmia at age 29. She never had a heart problem and had a baby 18 months before with no pregnancy complications. It has been 9 years, and I still can’t believe she is gone.
“Our posts were not the originator of the error.”
You are correct and I see your point.
However, allowing of the error to remain amounts to acceptance of the error, doesn’t it?
Should we simply accept errors?
Oops, make that nowhere instead of no where and drop the a in the last sentence. Need a new brain.
Depends on the context. If you want to have FRiends, state your case and that's all that's required; no need to argue forcefully over something that will not be printed (forcing a costly reprint) and viewed by millions. Online is not known for accuracy when it doesn't really matter. It's more like colonial America, where old records and letters reveal that people spelled all kinds of ways, as long as they got their point across.
Sometimes I like mindless entertainment which is what this was/is.
I understand - and it is good for that.
