Everyone:
There IS a bunch of boards. Bunch is the noun. "Of boards" is part of a prepositional phrase; we don't count it. If you mean, "There are other boards," say it; don't say bunch.
Yes, the "better" of both worlds.
Wendy, I'm not picking on you. Everyone knows you are quite the literary whiz and genius on world events and many other topics. But I wanted to point out that "presently" means "soon," so you are "currently" a teacher. In the olden days, I'd have let you know via e-mail. So I hope you don't take offense at my mentioning it here. : )>
Shar, bless you for your many posts above.
And Jonathan, are you married? If so, do you fool around?
Thanks for thinking of me. I'm enjoying the sunshine and a nice Atkins-induced weight loss, as well as lots of time away from the icky internet, where people practice the rules of civility in unusual--and uncivil--ways.
