Is anybody watching the thread ticker ?
FTE is nearing the 100,000 thread marker.
Let's hope the 100,000th thread is the epitome of posting.
I don't even know if Ken can see who makes it.
Can you Ken?

I've been watching it. It amazes me how many people are here participating and actually helping each other out whether its with their trucks, giving each other a laugh, or in their personal lives. I've learned a lot of useful stuff here from a lot of great people.

I noticed that you *know* that A Lot is two words not one.
I know this as well. My junior high English teacher gave her best effort to drill it into our heads and I am happy for that. If all teachers had the determination that she did we would all wind up a little smarter in one way or another. Most of the history I learn is gathered from here because all my history teachers sucked except one in high school.
Looks like the posts counter is gonna hit 1,000,000 as well. Probably not for a while though.

Alot of people are annoyed by the word alot because it's supposed to be "a lot". But we ain't stopped sayin' ain't even though it ain't a word, so why stop writing alot a lot?

What? Ain't is in the dictionary? Now, I am a grammarian to a fault, and I was never keen on the use of "ain't", but now it's in the dictionary? Who in the...?
I use the form "alot" because, unfortunate as it is, it really is the accepted form for the words. English has a long and heralded history of transforming words into other words, or words into a word. I will say this, though: most of those transformations came about because people had it wrong and it just became acceptable. So use alot a lot, nobody will know the difference in 20 years...

So, is it acceptable to spell February without the first "r" now that it's "allowed" to say it that way? I still can't bring myself to do it.

I've noticed that these words (#@*&, +&%#@,) aren't in the dictionary either but they seemed to be used here on occassion. I either need a later edition Websters or someother type of dictionary to figure those words out. I seem lost in the dark here. Any help
