Allen had a valve replacement, which caused his afib. They used
amiodarone for a while, and then did an ablation, which cured it. They
gave me a picture! Ain't surgery cool now?

I can see that that would be maddening. Did they give odds on the brain

"They" is NOT the proper pronoun. Better: "Approaching the fearful

with a proper 'him/her' substitute. Until then we have to work around

And there's no need for 'their' before dormition either. Nice word.

Also, I just noticed that I hadn't spoke to the use of using "their"
there. Since I noticed that was was specifically used in reference to
the Virgin Mary's ascension to heaven, I felt I needed to include this
wee bit of blasphemy to separate mere mortals also getting there using
the anti-grav route.

When speaking non-specifically, confusion is pretty much assured, but
hardly a problem, if one is careful about the rest of the sentence.

A common reaction. ;-)

Do you never use "They say that..." to mean "Many/most people say that..."?

Anyhow, if you were right, it would have disappeared long ago. Language
changes, that is, people stop using words/phrases/grammatical
structures/etc that no longer meet some need, and adopt/adapt/invent new
ones.

BTW, I find pronouns without clear antecedents much more confusing than
the generic "they", which in my experience is almost never confusing.
There's one in my previous sentence, but the context of this post
supplies the necessary antecedent, so most readers will have no trouble
knowing what I intend.

We need a new pronoun to match the French "on", which covers the singular case
which was under discussion and the general plural as in "they say that ..."

I just heard something which added the reflexive, which made it even
sillier. "They rode the bicycle themselves." At the very least, the
person could have used 'themself' :-(

Indeed. It's my understanding that 'on' has replaced 'nous' in a number
of cases. 'One' in English just sounds too pompous for general usage
and applies to a general concept rather than a specific activity anyway.

Isn't the French 'on dit' an equivalent to the English 'people (tend to)
say'?

[Wolf K.]

The usual translation is "They say..." As in "They say UFOs have landed
in a field near Much Blithering."

[The Real Bev]

Is that near Little Blithering? I think I've been there.

Hi Daniel,

Well, it's "me", but I don't live in TX. Unfortunately, I live in the
upcoming "Sanctuary State". If passed it will cause more destruction
than any hurricane... :-(

[Daniel]

Hmm! "Sanctuary State" .... cannot say I've heard of that.

So I wonder who it was that used to live in Houston!!

Because he disappeared suddenly. He was a frequent and valued
contributor and I really want to know if he's OK. He didn't respond to
the email I sent, but perhaps he would see this. If he's OK. I hate it

With 'Fork' in the name, I would have thought, if not a Code Fork, then

I consent and gladly look back on discussions we once had with

Last we heard from Ron, he was not in good shape. I fear the worst.

Looks like heirs and assigns generally don't bother notifying NGs etc of
someone's death. They just close the account(s).

They probably don't even know they exist :-( Some friends/associates
have notified newsgroups, but we have no idea how common or rare that is.

The military uses 11 Jun 2017. I got hooked on 20170611-074321 as a way
of naming photos. 11/6/17 is genuinely ambiguous and I would apologize
if the apology actually meant anything.

Still, we all miss Jay no matter what calendar system we use.

Hmm! Now that you mention 'Military', I think 'We' used 11/06/2017, i.e.
numbers rather than words!

On the other hand, we used a 24hr clock, 00:01 till 23:59, and, as I was
in the Army Communication game, more often than not we were using Zulu
time zone times, i.e. GMT!!

We sure do .... whatever value 'We' has!

You have your Seamonkey set to English (US) and you blame "Yanks"?
English (UK) is also available and the date-format is one of the
differences.
I think the date-and-time handling changed between 2.49.x and 2.53.x,
Preferences -> Appearance, Date and Time Formatting. One of the sites I
visit uses some JavaScript function to output the date/time and the
formats changed from "dd mm yyyy" 24-hour hh:mm to "mm dd yyyy" hh:mm
am/pm when I installed the newer level. I had to change the
locale-settings at the OS-level to fix that.

The reminder application I use (System Scheduler 5.30) _does_ look at my
locale-settings - but only looks to see if I have d before m. I actually
have yyyy-m-d, but SS gives me its dates in mm/dd/yyyy format )-:. [They
obviously only know the two formats, not ISO.)
