I hesitate to correct an English "authority", but it looks like "PENDANTRY" is not a word. I assume you meant "PEDANTRY". If so, maybe there is a comp.lang.english.spelling you can subscribe to. > You put words in my mouth to try and be pedantic. The only person I see being pedantic is you, Robert. > Bad form. I agree - your original posting was in bad form. > A person > is correct and was intended, Dikstra was talking about predicting the > success of a student--singular. How interesting. We have here a textbook example of a run-on sentence. You might consider looking for comp.lang.english.punctutation too. > but we are talking about someine being considered for studenthood, so I see another misspelling here - the word "someine". Again, I suggest you look for comp.lang.english.spelling. I have found the various discussions in this group to be very enlightening. However, I can certainly live without postings from jerks like Eachus who merely waste space on the net. -- CUL8R, | Unknown Actor:"Sounds like a lot of Jason Shumate | supernatural baloney to me."
