This once AND JUST THIS ONCE ONLY, right-click the picture in Publisher,
click Save As Picture.

In *ALL* future instances, *DO NOT SCAN DIRECTLY INTO PUBLISHER*. Scan into
a graphics application, such as Microsoft Digital Image Pro, Microsoft
PictureIt!, Microsoft Imaging for Windows, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop
Elements, Jasc Paint Shop Pro, Adobe Photodeluxe, etc.. If you don't have a
real graphics utility, get yourself IrfanView. A very compact download from
http://www.irfanview.com/ - and it can view all image types known to man,
and convert between them, as well as being able to scan. If youw ant a
freeware image manipulation tool, try the GIMP -

May I say congratulations on being able to spell 'scanned'. You join an
elite group of Yanks who are able to adhere to the double consonant rule.

Have you read "Eats, shoots and leaves"?
I've just finished reading it and IMO you'll *love* it!

If you don't use two ns, it spells scaned. Is that the past tense of scane?

Don't get me started, Jo, don't get me started! You lot ruined our language!
Of all the countries we lent it to (and do bear in mind it is only a long
term lease, we could withdraw usage at any time) you lot have bastardised it
the worst! OK, there are some Australianisms I don't care for, but at least
the Kiwis, South Africans, Canucks and, well, most other countries really,
have been good enough to leave it well alone.

If I have to read "Your welcome" one more time, I'll be driven insane (and
yes, that's such a short trip, it probably isn't worth getting the car out!)
What happened to the sodding apostrophe (and the 'e')?!

Other words you lot misuse

advise/advice
devise/device
disinterested/uninterested
less/fewer
who/whom
a lot/allot

The list is (practically) endless!

 

[JoAnn Paules]

Not *my* lot. I try to use the proper words. I know when to use an
apostrophe and when not to. I also know the differences in the terms you've
specified. Now I will admit to using discreet instead of discrete - but it
does cause me to think about which term I want.

I have issues with people who use "there" instead of "their", "to" rather
than "too", and a few other words that make me cringe when I read them. It
may surprise you to learn that I actually own several grammar books that
I've purchased in the last 5 years. I prefer to look something up rather
than make an ass out of myself in public. Heaven knows I do that often
enough as it is.

(And when you do take that drive, send me a postcard.)

You know the difference between disinterested and uninterested?! Now I
really *AM* impressed! Even Ed didn't know the difference (and he's done
English for A-Level, or whatever they're calling it these days).

And I'm already there, sister!

Right, now it's time for bed, said Zebedee.

Sarah,

There's a very well known writer who does a weekly syndicated column
about writing and diction. While de regularly decries the use of some
phrases and words that have seeped into our vocabulary, he regularly
points out that language is fluid and ever-changing. No doubt, "Your
Welcome" is 100 percent wrong, but it is becoming accepted because of
such wide usage. He makes sense, in a way. If the idea of writing is to
communicate and both the writers and readers understand what is being
said, how wrong can it be?

[James Hahn]

You forget loose/lose, which would have to be the most frequent misuse that
I see in the MS newsgroups.

You should be so lucky - you'd have to pay me to get me to do English
A-level. I did English GCSE, and that was enough (English O-level for you
;-))

Very. 'Your' is a possessive pronoun meaning 'belonging to you' or an
indicator of direction 'My house is the third one on your right'.

How can one own a welcome?!

You're (the correct contraction of 'you are') is the only acceptable
version. You Yanks are too fond of bastardising our (that's right *OUR*)
language.

Sorry, I'm right and you (being American) are not! ;o) <eg>

 

[Miss Perspicacia Tick]

Oh there are 100s more I could mention: -

effect/affect
loose/lose
excess/access
edition/addition (no, I can't believe this one either)
insure/ensure
laser (this is NOT spelt with a 'z' - it's an acronym!)
Not to mention the complete lack of punctuation, grammar and correctly
constructed sentences.

And I'm sure there are many others I just can't think of at the moment.
