2017 SF Melo Eggleston -> Wake Forest

So how many offers from Nebraska does he have?

 

 

That little comma between "offer" & "from" is so small, it might even be 'missing'!

 

Actually, it should be a semicolon I do believe.

 

No, it shouldn't.

 

It should read (among other options), "I got another offer, this one from Nebraska."

 

 

This is hilarious.... a debate over "wordsmith" tweets of a 16 year old.

 

I hate to quibble, BUT ... the debate wasn't about the 16-year-old's tweet; it was about whether the tweet could be fixed with a semi-colon or not.

 

The tweet itself was ambiguous; that fact was beyond debate.

 

The hotly contested issue was whether a semi-colon inserted before the words "from Nebraska" could repair the ambiguity in a grammatically-correct way; the correct answer was that it could not.

 

Have I used my semi-colons correctly in the three sentences above?  Debate away. 

 

 

I take it this post means we are officially in the off season?  

 

 

Ain't that the truth....

pedant |ˈpednt| 

noun

a person who is excessively concerned with minor details and rules or with displaying academic learning.

 

ORIGIN late 16th cent.: from French pédant, from Italian pedante, perhaps from the first element of Latin paedagogus (see pedagogue) .

 

 

 

We interrupt this debate to bring you a vocabulary lesson, courtesy of 49r. 

 

 

FWIW, I believe that posting the definition of the word makes me somewhat pedantic here.

 

Irony?

Enough of the grammar, Has anyone watched film on him. Does he look like a player we, the forum, would like? He already has ideal height, I just wish he had a some more meat on his bones so he doesn't get bullied in the paint.

from what I have seen he plays above the rim often in terms of finishing his scoring plays but I havent seen much in terms of off the ball scoring ability or seeing much work from beyond the 15 ft range.  He seems to have some decent handles but a lot of the film is from his freshman/sophomore summer so a lot has changed I'm sure.

This is the kid who couldn't effectively punctuate his tweets. We didn't really want him anyway.

Are you sure you shouldn't have used a semicolon there Norm?

That certainly would have been fitting.

And subject myself to a semicolonoscopy?  Not this hombre.

Remember when that one guy asked you if you were an English teacher?

 

That was classic.

This may be the greatest thing this board has ever produced!

Perhaps we should have emphasized our great academic support staff in his recruitment.
