In your first sentence there should probably be a conjunction in "society, group, forum." In addition, I was taught never to end a sentence with a preposition :smile2:

As I have said to many hundreds of students - 'very amusing, but don't make me get my detention book.'

I started teaching the year after corporal punishment was banned in Australian schools. Bad timing!

So, do Tom and I get to share in your lotto winnings? ^&grin

When I was a kid I was terrible at grammar and I'm still not that good. However, over time I've learned that some things sound right (or wrong). Not very scientific but seems to work for me.

Any offer I make, however lightly, to share my lotto winnings might constitute a verbal contract.

So, in short, no.

A verbal contract is only as good as the paper it's printed on ^&grin

I can still imagine you with a big stick Jack and it's not a good look! P.S. don't interpret this the wrong way as it's a family forum. :rolleyes2:

Oh and i didn't Google the word, but i dusted off my old 1984 school dictionary and double checked to be sure! I also agree with Brad, a share in your lotto win would be acceptable (25% each would be fine) and much more preferable than a kiss from someone in your family. {sm4}

Present and accounted for, SIR!

Not my luck. In fourth grade at a British school in Trinidad, the head mistress paddled me for bad penmanship and in the eighth grade in Long Island I was paddled for purposefully knocking some papers out of a girl's hand.
