A ticket that needed routing.....

"Could someone possibly tell me if the adobe reader to view invoices in PS is going to be for the rest of the day?"

Argh - all noise, no signal.

1) Yes, someone could tell you that.

2) Yes, it will probably continue to exist for the rest of this 24 hour period.


See? Signal extraction from high background noise is frustrating, but with some effort, and the proper filters, even this can be resolved without further escalation. :D

To be for the rest of the day, or not to be for the rest of the day. That is the question.

USE AN ACTION VERB.

[wxgeek.livejournal.com]

Technically 'be' is an action verb :D

[wxgeek.livejournal.com]

Accidentally, too, from what I hear.

[rfairney.livejournal.com]

and "Bee" is an action noun

I have trouble believing ANY serious work which is written in comic sans.

So I checked.

Quote: Oxford English Dictionary Online, From the start of Section Bfor the word : Signification and uses. (Section A being etymology)

"Signification and uses.

I. absolutely: To have or take place in the world of fact, to exist, occur, happen.

1.
a. To have place in the objective universe or realm of fact, to exist; also, to exist in life, to live.
b. with there. [See THERE, for its use with verbs.]

2. To come into existence, come about, happen, occur, take place, be acted or done.
"


Oxford English Dictionary trumps Comic-Sans-University

Sorry, First section was Inflections, I have Etymology turned off for the online dictionary, forgot that.
