So that means all of those stinky Europeans are doing it right? I just spent a month working in Brussels, and sometimes on the train or metro you'd get a whiff of somebody taking this news as a religious credo.
If the noun is modified by an adjective, the choice between a and an depends on the initial sound of the adjective that immediately follows the article:
a broken egg
an unusual problem
a European country (sounds like 'yer-o-pi-an,' i.e. begins with consonant 'y' sound)
I know it was a joke, but I can't help it. I'd suggest either standard or slightly modified Eastern Style, perhaps replacing the parenthesis with brackets or curly braces such as "(Yes, it was mom (^_^) || [^_^] || {^_^})," that way the emoticon is its own entity and contains opening and closing characters that won't interfere with the parenthetical style.
Generally they don't participate in the conversation and their muteness is taken as a sign of decreased intelligence, because, generally if an intelligent person hears a conversation they need to add their 2 cents.
Of course, if you're talking about using the overhead catenary on an electrified railroad, yeah -- it's a fantastic idea. Of course, most of the long-distance freight railroads in the US are not electrified, although this provides a fantastic excuse to install electrification -- electric locomotives are currently the only economically-viable form of transportation that have the potential to be 100% carbon-neutral and renewable.
That is what I was trying to infer, thanks for the clarification.
Put in solar cell bike paths and golf cart paths, less weight, smaller footprint and in the case of bike paths the users are a bunch of tree huggers anyway.
I actually think the perfect application for this technology would be the ground between railroad rails, easy transmission of the power, not a lot of wear and tear and if you suspend them slightly off the ground from the rails, some protection from the elements.
So you're all up in arms about it, good for you. But instead of offering a solution, or saying something good like "This isn't how we should treat our veterans," you instead decide to lambaste a proposed program that I'll admit is a bit socialist.
Given your attitude I expect you to return any social security payments you receive and decline any medicare coverage. While you're at it, stop driving on my roads and don't call emergency services when you need them.
Clouds mess with a satellite and you're limited to the window it's over that area of the planet. Loitering drones use lots of fuel to stay aloft because they need to keep flying. A blimp just needs to ascend to elevation, vent some of the lift gas, and float - using small fans for positioning.

Sure they do, they're called mod points.
Don't forget Shining Excalibur Pictures, it was a one off production company created to release KIDS when Disney didn't want the Miramax name on it.

Mainly in dark, moist subterranean caves, more commonly known as moms' basements.
No, he just needs to prove that he can't afford an alternative, that his continued VA treatment is need based.
You are most likely not suffering from any fatal neurological conditions.
Shenanigans.

My best friend is an ellipsis, what are you saying? (Though don't tell the other punctuation, I don't want them to think I'm playing favorites.)

Dalek problem?
What problem? They can fly, I'd take flying over not being able to perambulate up stairs any day.
I had to look at that image twice, my brain made it look like a normal foot the first time.
I'm not sure if I'd even call that webbed, at least tell me they could speak to fish.
Given this advancement I foresee a drop in the price of her building materials.
Oddly enough, something a dog would definitely be interested in. ;-)
Tell me about, one day I was using Twitter on the crapper and the dog wouldn't leave me be, so I just had to tweet about it.
Mod parent funny at least. (no mod points for me, it's been a long drought)
There's a big ELCA meeting where they voted to acknowledge "chaste" same-sex relationships, paving the way for openly gay clergy.
What's terrible is Ottumwa, Iowa is 50 miles from any interstate.
