Sweet!! Vey happy for you.

[Sky King]

Good for you!

Thanks, Everyone!

I really didn't think I'd get in. Everyone's good wishes when I asked for them here must have helped.

From a meeting at work yesterday:

Me: to fix this error we need to add single quotation marks around the variable name in the query.

Manager: So we need to add a semi-colon.

Sigh.

P.s. Congrats to Sheila!!

NY Biker,
Not sure if this is similar to your punctuation (or in your case "coding"?) confusion. But a doctor friend of mine was taking a history of a patient and also asked for the spelling of the child's name. I don't remember the name but when she spell it it out she said: L-A -"top common"-K-e- etc…. Instead of staying apostrophe, it's "top comma"

Always makes me giggle now when I see a name like that.

I like "top comma" -- it sounds like common sense to me, and is easier to spell and pronounce than "apostrophe."

I really can't figure out if people here don't understand what I am saying or if they are just not listening (or bothering to read my emails.) It happens pretty often. If I say "this actually has nothing to do with apples, the problem happens when we try to peel an orange" the response I get is "so I should test apples?"
