Mr. BTB you are correct. Mr. Jarvis used the correct American English spelling but as I explained to him off forum I was educated under the British Educational System and therefore taught the King's English and "ad nausea" is correct.BTB0923 wrote:Jmack, I wasn't going to say anything before but since you decided to edit your last post from what was a respectful apology to what is now an childish insult directed at Mr. N I'll go ahead and bring this up.
No, you are wrong. Jarvis was right the first time with "ad nauseum". Next time you try to correct somebody I'd make sure you know what you are talking about so you don't end up with your foot in your mouth. And its good that you feel gun shy to post because your lengthy and misinformed post that I replied to before obviously shows that you need to educate yourself a bit further before trying to have these discussions. Its one thing to try and educate oneself by asking questions and another alltogether to try and start discussions by bringing up topics that you seem to think are controversial but know nothing about. The latter is simply an attempt to bring attention to oneself.jmack1944 wrote:The "ad nausea" (and yes, that is the correct spelling) is really a kick in the gonads to someone who has not read the myriad postings. Kinda makes one gun shy to post or reply.
Guys, I apologize for having to be unpleasant.
It really doesn't matter how the word/phrase is spelled. I was wrong to make the post. There will be no more spelling posts from me.
As far as the editing of the post you refer to I stand by that. I guess my sense of humor doesn't come through very well when I write.
I will take a little time out and post when I have something worthwhile and non-confrontational to add to the forum.
I also apologize for having been unpleasant.
