Sammajoor Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Nope, it depends on how the word is pronounced. Take MTB. The first letter is pronounced "em", therefore it's "an MTB" not "a MTB". Not quite on the same page as you are Sir Crashalot, we could of course discuss it over a beer when I am in your nick of the woods again, which is soon, hopefully. Cannot survive on this at the moment. Have a good one, mate.

Thanks tumbles, there was I thinking I had to fail the whole class. more wisdom from mr Bryson:........ in 1799, during a comparatively brief interlude in London, he founded the Royal Institution, yet another of the many learned societies that popped into being all over Britain in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. For a time it was almost the only institution of standing to actively promote the young science of chemistry, and that was thanks almost entirely to a brilliant young man named Humphry Davy, who was appointed the institution’s professor of chemistry shortly after its inception and rapidly gained fame as an outstanding lecturer and productive experimentalist. Soon after taking up his position, Davy began to bang out new elements one after another—potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and aluminum or aluminium, depending on which branch of English you favor.1 He discovered so many elements not so much because he was serially astute as because he developed an ingenious technique of applying electricity to a molten substance—electrolysis, as it is known. Altogether he discovered a dozen elements, a fifth of the known total of his day. Davy might have done far more, but unfortunately as a young man he developed an abiding attachment to the buoyant pleasures of nitrous oxide. He grew so attached to the gas that he drew on it (literally) three or four times a day. Eventually, in 1829, it is thought to have killed him.

George, winner of the first round of South Africa's most prestigious mountain bike racing series back in January, rode a tactically faultless race to claim the victory in a fast time of 04 hours 29 minutes and 08 seconds and in the process, rose back to the top of the MTN Series rankings with three rounds remaining. ...read more i think it's about a year old!

I was going to point out that "off topic" is usually hyphenated. Yeah, I saw that yesterday when I did some searching when this issue first appeared on twitter.

Shebeen Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Shouldn't off-topic be hyphenated? -am I doing it right? Or is this now considered on topic since it is a direct reply to an observation of a hijack?
Tumbleweed Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 -am I doing it right? Or is this now considered on topic since it is a direct reply to an observation of a hijack? Actually my observation is incorrect. "On topic" is correct as it is a compound word not followed by a noun. *Goes to detention…*
