Ankesh,

I'm confused.

Do you think Michael understood what Don thought he was saying, or did Don say what Michael thought he understood him to say????? : )

I think you're 100% right . . . it's the understanding imparted by the symbols (words) that's important . . . not the particular symbols themselves.

If you can get your concept across, with understanding by the other party, you have communicated. Regardless of the words used.

Getting stuck in the "proper" use of words is like viewing a painting with a microscope. It may be interesting, but it is not necessary to get the viewpoint the artist intended to convey.

Anyway, that's one man's opinion . . .

Thanks for asking Hugh

My post was in response to Michael's post. Not Dons.

I have a very high opinion of Michael - he usually understands not only what is written - but things that are unwritten too. He gets the complete picture.

I'm not sure about the reason behind Michael's post to Don (you'll have to ask him). But I thought I had to reply to his post - and so I did.

Why is it when "I" post stuff up here about "Marketing & Sales" things that "I" do (that could be beneficial to some viewers here) someone has to take something I said....which has NOTHING to do with the "Topic" of the post...and "work it and work it and work it"?

MY use of the word "Money" has little or NOTHING to do with the MAIN POINT of the post!

Unless I'm missing something...."here"!

Don Alm

P.S. My use of the word "work" above, in MY humble opinion, means "BELABOR". (It's in Webster's)

Don,

Thanks for asking.

*I* jumped in and Corrected the phrase because It Was Wrong.

I have seen others jump in and not correct Phraes but Your Numbers because They Were Wrong.

The simple solution, instead of crying hard done by, is to stop posting wrong stuff.

For instance, you just wrote "MY use of the word "Money" has little or NOTHING to do with the MAIN POINT of the post" and yet it wasn't your use of the word Money I Corrected. It was your phrase "it does NOT take "money to make money"". So even in this simple post of yours you Got It Wrong. See it?

My good friend Stan who's a "far leftie". Whenever a discussion comes up about our President....if he can't whack George W for the "topic" of his speech or interview...he whacks him for his "pronunciation"...especially of the definitive article "the".

When da Pres is giving a speech..."the" comes out as "tha". And when he's being interviewed or holding a press conference..."the" comes out as "ta".

So...Stan...instead of commenting about the MAIN issues the Pres was talking about...ol' Stan brings up George W's use of "ta".

Same difference.

We all look at Stan, shrug our shoulders, roll out eyes back, pause a minute to take a deep breath and go onto a more serious topic.

Don Alm

Making an Incorrect statment about making money, and the way someone pronounces the word The are completely different. Surely even you can see this.

Therefore, we can easily discount pretty much anything that comes out of his mouth.

LOL...The only argument liberals seem to know is (BUSH IS AN IDIOT) the words of a wise man who once said it always takes one to know one comes to mind...
