"Schools may disclose, without consent, "directory" information such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them."
It's possible that he means something else, or that I misunderstood, but in my time at student affairs, this came up a few times, and "directory information" was exactly what the link I posted says. Does he maybe mean something else?
Nothing else you posted is worth responding to. Next time you decide to make an idiotic point, do some research so you're not wrong like you were here.
But because you're obviously stupid, I NEVER SAID IT WAS THE BEST CHOICE, ONLY THAT IT WAS ACCEPTABLE.
Now save yourself the trouble of responding so you don't look like a pompous imbecile again, because you'll be wrong then too.
"And I know which end of the screwdriver to hit, unlike many of you city boys. I'm not the least bit worried."
That's funny, because the first thing I thought when I saw this was "what kind of idiot hits a screwdriver instead of using the right tool, like a punch or chisel". Unless, of course, you want them to shatter and become worthless...
"You never use an apostrophe to signify a plural, except possibly maybe perhaps in some cases if it's a single, lower-case letter (like "a's"), but even that isn't good english"
I'm sorry, but your link is wrong, as it leaves out numbers (6's) and words that refer to themselves (you have 5 and's in that sentence).
And frankly, pretending there is anything remotely approaching a consensus on this is futile.
"An apostrophe is used in plurals in the following very special cases:
1. in the plurals of single letters:
There are only three s's in `Christmases'.
Mind your p's and q's.
(Even here, the capital letter would not need the apostrophe.)
2. in the plurals of abbreviations:
We have several pg's [paying guests].
We have received four cheques and two IOU's.
(But IOUs is common and accepted, and the usual plural of CD is CDs)."
"The word "nazi" indeed started out as an abbreviation..."
Thank you for admitting I was right. Is an apostrophe necessary? No, but it is ACCEPTABLE, as the pointless link shows.
"This isn't denying that 3 + 5 = 8. At best we know that the right-hand side is 8, but we aren't sure what the two numbers on the left are. Am I going to take the word of someone with a vested interest in 3s and 5s? Am I heck! They might be 4 + 4, or 6 + 1, or whatever..."
"To say that being offended by foul language is a learned behavior is obviously the case, but you present it as though only childish people would let a learned behavior influence them. The statement "Those words upset me cause mommy and daddy told me they should." is obviously meant to belittle people who have learned that offensive language is offensive."
You learn not to curse from your mommy and daddy. You're reading something into it far beyond what he actually said, and that makes me wonder why.
"What purpose does the word fuck have in the English language other than to be offensive?"
Emphasis. Exclamation. If I stub my toe and no one else is around, when I yell "FUCK!" who is offended?
"Is it so unreasonable that someone gets offended by an offensive word?"
And there you admit the fatal flaw in your argument. Words don't offend, people ALLOW themselves to be offended by words. It is not the word, but the individual who ultimately decides if a word is offensive.
"Also for all those who get upset that crap isn't obscene while shit is."
My grandmother would vehemently disagree. Which proves my point quite nicely, while refuting yours as well.
Now go F yourself you F-ing C-sucking piece of dog S. (nothing offensive there, so no getting offended by you, your rules not mine)
What question? The one where you stated without a question mark, "'Why not just admit you're a misandrist'"
No, not that question. My original question. Reading is your friend.
And you still haven't answered it, and it took you HOW LONG to even fucking try? You could have avoided making an idiot of yourself if you'd bothered to act like a non-retard in the first place.
How about YOU just answer my original question? You know, instead of stupid attempts to be snide like you've been doing.
And just because you're a twat, where did I make the claim that YOU said I said ANYTHING? Eat it.
You're not answering the question because you made a moronic post that you can't support, so you're playing games and trying to blame you're failure to answer a simple question on me. Don't get pissed off at me because I'm better at the games you're playing than you are.

"If you take IN more than you USE, you gain weight.

HEY MORON, THE AMOUNT "TAKEN IN" DOESN'T CHANGE BASED ON HOW MUCH IS USED BY THE BODY UNDER ANY DEFINITION.
SO, would you rather shut the fuck up because you can't read worht a fuck, or shut the fuck up because you're too stupid to comprehend that simple fact?

"I didn't."
Yes, liar, you did.

Nope never claimed that, stop lying.

"No, not really."
Wow, very insightful. It's nice to know I can expect such high quality commentary here.
Yes, really. There is no consensus, and no, your opinion doesn't change that.
You are wrong.
You have to admit, after going to the trouble you did to make your point, that was kind of funny.

Exactly.
You most certainly can use an apostrophe when pluralizing.

In this case "Nazi" is an abbreviation, for which an apostrophe is acceptable.

Yes, clearly they're nothing alike.

FYP. And it's not your fault, you can't help being retarded.

And why would you so vehemently argue a point which you clearly haven't bothered to research thoroughly?
