Greg, you seem to have to much time on your hands, so I thought of a advertising slogan you could use, to keep you busy.
I WOULD RATHER SERVE 1000 ALQAIDA TERRORISTS , THAN ONE AMERICAN SOLDIER

Now that I understand your post, I agree with you I would rather plant a 100 tererrorists in the ground instead of U.S. Service men/Women. BTW, My son is active US Navy
Good thing KC5CSG and his wife are banned, they'd really have a field day with you.
I find your post to be offensive.
My son is active US Navy
Uh, Greggy...
Dennis is talking about your job, not serving donuts to terrorists...

I'd like to add, that if a terrorist wants to kill us infidels, he should also be buried in pork fat at his funeral.
Proud Infidel!

Don't give up. Just remember when exercising sixth grade humor on a third grader to include pictures and a road map. :)

Now that you get it, maybe you should thank him for it, grab it and run like hell. I'd be proud to be "planted" by an outfit that had that as a slogan. Not that I'm in a hurry to be planted, mind you... ;)

No, actually I think he meant 'subtlety'.
The lack of command of the English language people in our country have never ceases to astound me.

It depends on if his intent was to provide an adjective or a noun.
My suggested word (subtly) is an adjective, meaning:
So slight as to be difficult to detect or describe; elusive
(credit to: www.thefreedictionary.com)
Your suggestion (subtlety) is a noun, meaning:
the quality or state of being subtle
(credit to: www.merriam-webster.com)
Given the above, it appears an adjective is more appropriate, as it appeared he was attempting to be descriptive. :p
I'm not an English major, but I'm not a country bumpkin either. At least I offered my suggestion without the slam.

I hope you don't think I directed my correction at you.
Descriptive or not, he misspelled the word, which I still take as being meant as a noun which means 'mental keenness' or 'descriptive delicacy'.
My concern is at which point a correction is considered a slam. Why is it acceptable to not be able to spell while it is unacceptable to utter a correction? What promotion of our intellect does the former even seem to accomplish? I don't consider you to be a champion of illiteracy any any stretch of the imagination so I am a bit taken by your stance on the issue. Especially being an owner and fan of a Shepard dog with by far is the epitome of intelligence of their collective species. Mine was smarter than a significant percentage of the human population, as I hazard to surmise you will agree with me.

Agreed. And I'm sorry. I must have misread your statement:
"The lack of command of the English language people in our country have never ceases to astound me."
Since the other fellow is in Canada, I was sure that was directed at me.
We need to swap some of our doggie photos. German Shepherds are very smart, but they're incredibly loyal and affectionate as well. That combination makes them "controllably" protective. Princess, shown in my avatar, is lying at my feet right now, upside down, sweeping her tail across the floor in an attempt to get me to hit their "snack bar", where her treats are stored. She can be quite manipulative about the "box", a word dared not uttered where she will hear it!
Really - I'm sorry for the mixup on the quote.

Ex-Canadian as it appears, and I missed that as well. That doesn't get our compatriots off the hook, however. Just look at the lion's share of the postings here on the Zed.
I have few pictures of Czar, my best friend of 15 years, but I would be happy to scan them and get them posted to a venue that you can see them. He was a black and sable, or 'salt and peppered Shepard' as we called him. Super gentle until you crossed 'the line' at which point he pretty much exploded. He loved kids and they could do anything they wanted to and he wouldn't even snap at them, just yip if they hurt him.
Man, I miss my friend....

Probably so but to describe the type of person it would take to consider it as such would be so much worse, don't you think?
