It's who's, not whose, Bubba Joe.

Second they're all paintings, not women. You can get a woman
pregnant, but you'll spill your seed in vain on a painting. This is a
difference, you might want to bear in mind as your life unfolds.

I take it you don't care for my paintings, Bubba Joe. But why is
there an apostrophe in that last clause? Did Bob Ross command it?

It is amazing how many people have no clue as to how to pluralize words
and use an apostrophe to as substitute for the effort to find out.
Let's see now would that be Elvises or Elvi?

It's amazing how many people take the time to point out grammatical
errors in other people's posts... but then again people in my field are
notorious for bad spelling and/or grammar... English class was nap
time... Science and Math were play time...

Funny, a mathematician would never let me get away with 2 X 3 = 5, and
would point out that either the answer is 6 or I meant + not X. In the
written language spelling and grammar are rules that allow for clear,
understandable communication of the written word. Perhaps if you slept
less during English class you would be less misunderstood.

Aha! And here I was thinking you were an art critic. My apologies.

(Actually, I shouldn't have snapped at you in the first place. We all
feel the need to defend our professions now and again, but this is not
a proper forum for such things. And by the way, my spelling sucks
rocks.)

Anyhow the ribs were very good.

There's a difference. If I say, "the correct form of possessive is
it's," then you have a perfect right to point out the error. Just having
made a grammatical or spelling error in a post is not a reason to
generate such a response. These posts aren't school papers, and you
aren't a teacher.

apology accepted... now accept mine... I was a little surprised at your
hostility to my OP... I followed the link to your website and started
browsing through the various art galleries... I just inquired about the
lady to get you talking about your art and threw the breasts thing in
there for the heck of it... It occurred to me after I hit send that said
woman may possibly be a relative or wife... anyways... the paintings
were cool... and way better than anything Bob Ross churned out

You is correct, I is a mathematician. As an aside, my response was a
response to a response about a response with an errant apostrophe, not
the reponse to the response with missing e.

How can I be correct about you being a mathematician?

Immaterial, as I replied only to the content of the post at hand.

Cute, but no less cute and flippant than my reply to your statement that
I am not a teacher. I do not claim to be a teacher, although I was an
instructor at the local community college for a couple of years.

I am also not an English major and I make my fair share of grammatical
errors. Still, it irks me when technical people blow off imprecise use
of the language. I must admit the errors here are extremely mild
compared to what I see in my son's generation - where IM fonetik
spelling, cliquish acronyms, and emoticons rule.

Thanks. Of course, I've seen blank canvasses that had more honesty
and visual appeal than BR's usual demonstration pieces.

The models are anonymous. I find the pictures various places and
munge them electronically and then redo them in paint. Lately I've
been painting mostly words, however. The dotted women are over with
for the time being. The dots are still hanging around, though.

I was making a point. It isn't anyone's job, nor is it particularly
useful to go around correcting spelling and grammar on usenet, unless
it's to the point where the post in incomprehensible.

Time and place. I do object to and correct poor language use in
documents and presentations at work (I'm an engineer), because such
errors are unprofessional.
