"Catenary" is probably in your dictionary, with its single "t". It's not spelled correctly in your post; you're probably grumbling and ashamed about now, right?

We all make mistakes. Tonight I've spent more time editing my posts than I spent typing them in the first place, and even in this sentence I've had to go back and correct my errant keystrokes several times. Notice, though, how I worked in both versions (contraction & possessive) of the examples you mentioned!

I'm such a friggin brown-noser...

I got my start in railroading as a Milwaukee Road switchman in Milwaukee. My initial assignment was to a location named "Five Rings." On the hand-cranked company telephone system, a call directed to the switchtender at that location was signalled by five long rings, hence the name.

Speaking of names, I think I have the coolest name in real life.

My user name Is puffie40 because I have a favorite stuffed Rabbit named Puffie. [:p]

The 40 Came in when I was getting a Hotmail eMail account. "Puffie" (Of all the choices of things to call myself) was already used and it came up with some suggestions. I chose "Puffie40" Because to me it's easy to remember. However, in game rosters, I prefer to just call myself "Jackrabbit" [;)]

I PULLED THIS BACK UP TO PROVE A POINT !!!!!

And what, pray tell, was that point?

Just wondering,

P.S. Remember: the subject is the noun performing the action, the direct object is the noun undergoing the action, and the indirect object is the noun to which the action is performed. Want an example? "I bought a computer for my uncle." In this sentence, "I" is the subject, "computer" is the direct object, and "my uncle" is the indirect object. Additionally, a sentence needn't have a direct nor indirect object, just a subject and a predicate.....My grammar teacher would be horrified. Or, maybe surprised that I actually remember this stuff. Now, as for prepositional phrases.....[:)][:D][8D].

I am such a snob.
