Okay, that's all the grammar discussion I can take for one night. Emery, feel free to say your piece and/or defend your decisions. We'll meet again soon.
3/11/08- Couldn't meet in person this week, so here is our communication via IM throughout the night...
Emily says:
use "cable knit" as a noun in a sentance
Emery says:
Emily looped fabulous in her new cable knit sweater.
Emily says:
that's an adjective and has a hyphen. the noun version isn't hyphened, but I need an example
Emery says:
cable-knit sweater
Emery says:
adjective modifying sweater
Emily says:
I know that!
Emery says:
Emily's favorite type of sweater is a cable knit.
Emery says:
I have to go check on Isaiah.
Emily says:
okay
Emery says:
sorry
Emily says:
no prob
Emily says:
when you get back- is Caeser salad worthy of inclusion?
Emily says:
and do you agree with the spelling?
Emily says:
and cafe (can't figure out how to make the accent over the "e" in a chat, but it should be there)
The following message could not be delivered to all recipients:
and cafe (can't figure out how to make the accent over the "e" in a chat, but it should be there)
Emily says:
and cafe (can't figure out how to make the accent over the "e" in a chat, but it should be there)
Emery says:
I'm not sure we'd ever need Caesar salad.
Emery says:
will there.
Emery says:
sorry 'bout that.
Emily says:
it's okay.
Emily says:
I know we say it, but would you put a recipe on dot com?
Emery says:
yeah, it's possible.
Emery says:
But what's the question?
Emily says:
does wired have an opinion on "chat room"
Emery says:
hmm. not sure. I know for certain we'd never say chat room though.
Emery says:
lemme check, though.
Emily says:
just if we needed to include it. Caesar is capitalized but not salad
Emily says:
don't we have chat rooms?
Emery says:
nope.
Emery says:
we have blogs.
Emery says:
And we will have message boards.
Emery says:
But no live chat.
Emery says:
Oh, the salad thing ... I totally agree with it.
Emily says:
we used to on occassion but I guess not anymore
Emily says:
I'll put the salad in, we can always take it out later if we want
Emery says:
wired says "chat rooms"
Emery says:
two words
Emily says:
that's what lucky says too
Emery says:
can put it in for fun.
Emily says:
k
Emily says:
yeah, they used to make guests do chats after their shows. with someone else doing all the typing. I guess there was a revolt on that...
Emery says:
Yeah, haven't heard anything about that.
Emily says:
it was a couple years ago.
Emery says:
Hmm.
Emily says:
if "color-blocking" is hyphened, can I assume "color-block" is too?
Emery says:
hmm.
Emery says:
is color-blocking always hyphenated?
Emily says:
according to lucky
Emery says:
nice, we'll have to put that into action.
Emily says:
word
Emily says:
do you want "blocking"? I was just going to put "block"- that's how i hear it mostly
Emery says:
I think the trend is called color blocking.
Emery says:
We have it up on the site now.
Emery says:
Without hyphen.
Emily says:
well apparently you're wrong
Emily says:
next- lucky has "coauthor" and "cofounder" no hyphen, but AP says yes hyphen
Emery says:
I like hyphen.
Emily says:
got it
Emery says:
I'm here, sorry.
Emery says:
What do you need from me?
Emery says:
I'm highly distracted by a heavy volume of HSN work.
Emery says:
And I apologize profusely for it.
Emery says:
I'm not a good person right now.
Emery says:
Well, I'm OK, just not great.
Emery says:
OK, yeah, I'm not that great.
Emery says:
I suck (fishing for compliments).
Emery says:
Kidding.
Emily says:
that's okay. I don't need anything at the moment. what's going on with work?
Emery says:
I had 6 hours of meetings today.
Emily says:
you'll get compliments when you start explaining!
Emery says:
which doesn't work for someone who is also expected to produce.
Emery says:
Deliverables.
Emily says:
no worries on this end. I'm cruising through my list and I'll send through a message when I have questions/discrepencies
Emery says:
that's awesome. thanks.
Emily says:
jsut let me know if you're going to be away for a while or if you sign off...
Emery says:
fair enough.
Emily says:
k. get to work!
Emily says:
how badly can I plagerize dictionary.com?
Emery says:
um ... just use synonyms.
Emery says:
then, it's not plagiarism.
Emery says:
Hehe.
Emily says:
okay. but their definitiion of "complement" is really good.
Emery says:
ok.
Emery says:
like complement vs. compliment?
Emily says:
yep
Emery says:
sweet.
Emery says:
well, borrow liberally.
Emery says:
But don't plagiarize.
Emery says:
If you can avoid it.
Emily says:
will do
Emery says:
And if you have to directly, just site it.
Emery says:
I guess.
Emily says:
i used a small part of theirs, but it was the part that said it "completes" which is a hard word to avoid with "complement"
Emery says:
sweet.
Emily says:
i made it work
Emery says:
excellent.
Emery says:
you are excellent.
Emily says:
thanks for the compliment
Emily says:
I'm sure you'll be excellent next time
Emery says:
HAHA.
Emery says:
Next time.
Emery says:
I suck.
Emily says:
you don't suck
Emily says:
your job does
Emily says:
not your fault
Emily says:
besides, I assume you still haven't called school, so really I'm the one who needs to show effort, at least until may
Emery says:
haha.
Emery says:
how'd you know?
Emily says:
I think my bad avoidence habits have rubbed off on you
Emily says:
have you talked to trey? about not actually being in the class? you know he'd help you...
Emery says:
I haven't talked to him in a bit.
Emily says:
do you agree with lucky to never use "zirconium", just zirconia? I
Emily says:
I'm surprised he isn't on your case about the enrollment thing.
Emily says:
unless he doesnt' realize
Emery says:
zirconia all the way!
Emery says:
he might not realize
Emily says:
(shaking my head at you)
Emily says:
alright, enough guild
Emily says:
guilt
Emily says:
get back to work
Emily says:
done with the C's!
Emery says:
SWEET!
Emily says:
how do you feel about "de-stress"? lucky has hyphen, AP has no opinion. should I differentiate from Tony Little's name brand?
Emery says:
How's Little say it?
Emily says:
DeStress
Emily says:
but it's a brand name
Emily says:
what does wired say about dot com? lucky hyphens, AP has no opinion
Emery says:
dot-com.
Emily says:
got it
Emily says:
Not necessarily tonight, but when you get a chance take a look at "dress" in lucky. not a lot of rhyme or reason to using as one word or two.
Emily says:
D's are done. taking a bathroom break.
Emery says:
sweet.
Emery says:
Ds done.
Emily says:
that's how I took it. anyway, I'm back and working n E's
Emily says:
do you and wired agree with "e-commerce"?
Emery says:
yes, we agree.
Emily says:
lucky capitalizes Empire Dress and Empire-dress. how do you feel about that?
Emery says:
I don't get it.
Emery says:
Sorry, went to get a drink and change.
Emily says:
don't get what I'm asking, or why they cap.?
Emery says:
Why they cap, yeah.
Emily says:
me either
Emery says:
don't worry about it, I'd say.
Emily says:
okay, I won't
Emery says:
can you do me a huge favor and send me a link to the stuff you're working on?
Emily says:
yep. let me save it first. I'm working on the same wiki page we started last time
Emily says:
http://4260morefiles.pbwiki.com/starting%20our%20list
Emery says:
Let me know when I can edit.
Emily says:
when you look at the page, take a look at your "every day" entry. I'm confused.
Emery says:
ok.
Emily says:
I'm out of edit. are you going to be in there awhile?
Emily says:
they hyphen "faux-patent-leather" so I assume they hyphen "faux-leather"
Emery says:
nope ... not long
Emery says:
dangit!
Emery says:
what's the invite key?
Emily says:
open!
Emery says:
wiki password.
Emery says:
Haha.
Emily says:
we go through this everytime
Emery says:
We're always there for a each other, tough
Emily says:
usually one of us remembers
Emily says:
hey, happy spring break by the way. not that you're a student or anything...
Emery says:
it's spring break?
Emery says:
cool!
Emery says:
Guess I'll take the week of then.
Emery says:
off.
Emery says:
out of edit mode.
Emily says:
cool.
Emily says:
yeah, break means nothing when you have a real job. boo.
Emery says:
true dat.
Emily says:
I guess I had my spring break two weeks ago. I miss vacation.
Emily says:
so, you cool with faux-leather?
Emily says:
I also question their use of flat iron vs. flat-iron.
Emery says:
I would prefer just feaux leather, unless you're saying feaux-leather handbag.
Emery says:
as a modifier.
Emery says:
I'm confusing, huh.
Emily says:
isn't that mostly how it would be used though?
Emily says:
and they hyphen faux-patent-leather.
Emily says:
twice
Emery says:
Haha.
Emery says:
you keep getting a this little guy x-
Emery says:
X-P
Emery says:
on my chat window
Emery says:
fauX-Patent-leather
Emery says:
that's how it's showing up.
Emery says:
anyhow ..
Emily says:
that's weird because he isn't showing up on my screen
Emily says:
I'm jealous
Emery says:
faux-patent-leather shoes
Emery says:
ah, well, I think we need the hyphen, if it's modifying the shoes or the handbag.
Emily says:
so as an adj.
Emily says:
same as pretty much everythign else. hyphen the adj. not the noun
Emery says:
yep.
Emily says:
k.
Emily says:
do we need frequent flier?
Emery says:
yeah, for luggage maybe.
Emily says:
cool
Emily says:
through the G's
Emery says:
I am currently away from the computer.
Emily says:
going to stop here. tired and the H's look evil.

3/25/2008 9:49:32 PM Emery Emily don't worry about it.
3/25/2008 9:49:55 PM Emery Emily do you think we'd use that?
3/25/2008 9:50:03 PM Emily Emery not sure
3/25/2008 9:50:05 PM Emery Emily I'm not trying to be mean, I just can't think of where we would.

3/25/2008 9:54:46 PM Emily Emery hot pants?
3/25/2008 9:55:17 PM Emery Emily what's the question?

3/25/2008 9:56:29 PM Emery Emily it's possible.

3/25/2008 10:00:30 PM Emery Emily sweet!
3/25/2008 10:04:27 PM Emily Emery do you thing "internet" should be capitalized? Lucky does
3/25/2008 10:04:41 PM Emery Emily Funny you mention that.
3/25/2008 10:04:53 PM Emily Emery hmmm
3/25/2008 10:04:56 PM Emery Emily I think I linked to an article in Wired about that.
3/25/2008 10:05:07 PM Emery Emily It's AP style to capitalize Internet, Web, etc.
3/25/2008 10:05:09 PM Emily Emery i thought the question sounded familiar
3/25/2008 10:05:32 PM Emery Emily let's lowercase it, like Wired.
3/25/2008 10:05:43 PM Emery Emily but we don't say internet, really.
3/25/2008 10:05:47 PM Emily Emery that would be my preference
3/25/2008 10:05:48 PM Emery Emily Still it's good to have a standard on that.
3/25/2008 10:05:53 PM Emery Emily cool!
3/25/2008 10:09:30 PM Emily Emery hitting the "L's"
3/25/2008 10:09:44 PM Emily Emery L. A. as in Los Angeles- include?
3/25/2008 10:10:00 PM Emery Emily Yes, but I would note Los Angeles on first reference.
3/25/2008 10:10:07 PM Emery Emily Then, L.A. is acceptable.
3/25/2008 10:10:21 PM Emery Emily L.A. for Los Angeles, only after first reference.
3/25/2008 10:10:32 PM Emily Emery got it
3/25/2008 10:12:53 PM Emery Emily Can I throw some brand names somewhere?
3/25/2008 10:13:22 PM Emily Emery sure, I need a food break anyway. I'll get out of edit if you want to add them in.
