[PLMCRZY]

I like the poulans myself but you my young friend are wrong. 3400 = 100 bucks if your lucky!:hmm3grin2orange:

Good luck getting more then that for the echo as well I guess with all the bars and chains you could.......

Shouldn't nit-picky be hyphenated?

And in this sense "punctuated"?

 

[spacemule]

That's dum! D-U-M dum!

 

[edisto]

And in this sense "punctuated"?

I stand fairly castigated.

 

[Jonsered2095]

I stand "fear"-ly castigated.

 

[Jonsered2095]

That's dum! D-U-M dum!

.....Sawtroll types better English than most AS members & he is from Norway.

I've often wondered about his gooder English skills!

<---is not an English major.....

I wasn't sure that I wanted to drag hyphens into this, next thing you know, it's semicolons; and then someone loses an eye.

And then everyone's looking for an eye.

lol, i think you missed the bus

short bus backin' up *beep* *beep* *beep*

Whose Nick? It seams like someone's taking liberty's hear

Not in this instance. Compound words require a hyphen when used as a modifier describing a noun.

For example...

I am a Stihl lover. No hyphen here.

But...

I am a Stihl-loving member of this Web site. In this instance, the words 'stihl-loving'- though separate words - are combined to form a novel descriptive concept. Similarly, I am a yankee. I therefore am a cheap ass - versus, I am a cheap-ass yankee.

Only if used before the noun, or following the verb "to be".

Don't you dare call Mrs. Buchanan a liar!

Of course, I probably ate a lot of glue the day she covered that material....

Yes. before a noun. That's the necessary precondition of multiple words being combined into a single descriptor, e.g., this is a to-be-submitted post.


On the 'to be' matter, i'll need to consult the woodboogers guide to standard american usage, which is a generally accepted addendum to the 1973 republication of strunk and white.

if you ate a lot of glue, you may be in the market for a gently-used echo. There's a fellow member with whom you may be able to come to an agreement. If you are a good negotiator, you may be able to score a free lace doiley as part of the transaction.

I'll pay for the doily if they throw in the Echo.

there's a fine sselection of echos at the local home depot. i'll refer you to AS member spacemule. he can fix you up. I suspect he has a fine selectoin of doileys from his personal collection that he might throw in as a deal sweetner, to be later reimbursed by his emploer. doiley not cheep

"how stupid does people think i am"

The question itself bears some irony, as well as a clear answer.

I'm keeping this one in my back pocket.

 

[TraditionalTool]

anyway i put an add on the local classifieds to sell my cs-600p or trade it for a 9mm or 45 of equal value,,,i figured 350.00

Pretty darn stupid if you think you can get $350 for that saw.

$350 is actually a fair price on a 361, but what do I know...
