Proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation manifest a certain degree of intelligence.
Now, with these fellas who post on the board preaching "standards" while not understanding the difference between "their" and "there" give a poor testimony toward Christians -- a bunch of southern hicks. Pah-ting...
Of course, I'm joking.
Oh wait... that's a sin, ain't it?
Is correcting a persons grammar/spelling any worse than preaching man's standards and charging fellow believers with sin if they do not comply?
It's "Pa-ching!" And you should have put a comma in two places in the above statement; one behind the word "punctuation", another behind "standards". Of course these commas may be looked at as optional since the statements are easily understood even by us Kontrie hycks way down heer in Goot ol' Dixie!
:D
I was spittin' into a tin can.
I think that makes a "ting" sound rather than a "ching" sound.

this to me.
Ever heard of "an air guitar"?
It is when you just finger as a guitar
and usually sing along.
Anyway,
the "Pa-ching" is a precussion period.
(My son is a precusionist student, he
should know such stuff
)
The "Pa" is a strike on the snare drum,
the "Ching" on a small cimbal (not one
those 18-inches across one, the 5" diameter
cimbal).
You know, the captial letter
at the start of a sentence is "Ta-da" as
done with a horn or trumpet; the
"Pa-ching" is a musical period at the end.
So Precepts got the sound right.
But PRecepts put it at the start of a sentence.
Grace1998 correctly placed the Pa-ching at
the end of a sentence.
It it proven,
and i win Pa-ching
As sarge would say, " Gomer Pyle, your a genius!" But no matter what you say, HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT.
My hair is short( dont know if it is evangelically short) I dress modestly , and always dress nicely for church, but God help me to never judge another by whether their hair is as short or long as mine, or whether they dress the same as I for church.
;)
O.K., but He just might have to encourage you to poke both your eyeballs out cause you just judged whether their hair is shorter or longer and your dress as the same or not. By the way, what kind of church is it you go to that the men compare their dresses in?

</font>[/QUOTE]Your kidding, right?
Ed, "pa-ching!" is the sound of a cash register when one pulls down on the hand crank and the cash drawer opens, but Grace is right, when she dips her snuff and dislodges a brown savory wad into the spit-toon it does make a "pa-ting!" indicating a dead-ringer.
The "percussion" instrument you were trying to describe is called a "high-hat" cymbal consisting of two inverted against each other with a shaft run through and either held closed or slightly opend to fully opened depending upon the desired sound, but the "pa-ching" sound would also come from a tambourine either placed on top of the high-hat and struck, or placed in the hand and struck against any object.
De-dee-da-dee-dee-da-dee-dee-dee.
Hi donnA! I chose my former user name because 1998 was the year God broke this ol' stoney heart.
Hence, saved by grace in 1998.
How are things going for you?
Tom </font>[/QUOTE]That's a "PA-TING!" in the devil's eye! May we rejoice together!
I'm glad yall could see I was just joking about the snuff bit and I didn't know he wasn't a she. I just like to carry on these sort of non-sensicle conversations where-ever and whenever I see Ed lurking about.
We must have the same light-hearted sense of humor.
Sometimes my posts may seem like I'm being serious when in fact, I'm grinning like a dummy while I'm pecking the keyboard.
Hey Tom, I sort of wish we had a male/ female indication on our profiles because it's easy to get confused with user names. We have some ladies with guy sounding names too.
