Uninstall office XP

[DiamondJimWilliams]

I've upgraded from XP to 2003. The 2003 contains less programs, so when I
installed it all of XP pro w/front page didn't uninstall.

I want XP completely off of my system, but I cannot get the install discs at
this point. Is there a way to completely uninstall XP?

Hi Jim,

Unless the Office XP edition is damaged you should
be able to uninstall it through Add/Remove Programs
in the Windows Control Panel without having the CD.

No, it doesn't. It contains /fewer/ programs. If the things you're comparing
can be quantified (i.e. counted), then you should use 'fewer', if not, use
'less'. Things that cannot be quantified include weight, time, capacity,
volume, etc.

Sorry, but it bugs me. - it looks wrong and, to those with a moderate
education, sounds wrong, too.

Incorrect: - I have less sweets than my sister.
Correct: - I have fewer sweets than my sister.

Incorrect: - I weigh fewer than I did last week.
Correct: - I weigh less than I did last week.

Incorrect: - I have less students in my class this year.
Correct: - I have fewer students in my class this year.

Incorrect: - This just has fewer water than this one.
Correct: - This just has less water than this one.

On that note, should you not say:

"Facon - the artificial bacon bits you get from Pizza Hut for
sprinkling on salads."

because you while you might be in a Pizza Hut building, you are receiving
the products from them.

Just a thought.

OK, here's an English question for you, Miss Perspicacia Tick. What is the
only word in English that is spelled the same but pronounced differently if
capitalized?

 

[Don]

I'm no English wizard, but I am curious as to what the answer is!

No, it doesn't. It contains /fewer/ programs. If the things you're comparing

You are just about as wrong. One should use "fewer" with things that can be
ENUMERATED, not QUANTIFIED. Get your terms straight! Weight, time, volume,
etc. can all be quantified (i.e. measured), but not enumerated (counted).
Your examples are correct, but your terminology is not.

It really is quite ironic -- living in a glass house while throwing all
those stones.

Incorrect: - I weigh fewer than I did last week.
Correct: - I weigh less than I did last week.

Both are wrong, I weigh MORE than I did last week. <sigh>

LOL!

Oh, I am sure Ms Tick would know. Let's see if she can come with it ... if
she doesn't by tomorrow, or if someone else doesn't, I'll reveal the answer.

There are several such pairs, but there are at least two which are so
common that every English speaker should recognize them. The "lima/Lima"
pair is weakened by the fact that "Lima" is pronounced differently from
"lima" when you're talking about Peru, but they're the same when you're
talking about Ohio.

I said an *English* word, not a Spanish word, adopted in Ohio or otherwise.

I think that's nit-picking, but how about "job" and "herb"?

No, it is not nit-picking. Read my original post.
The question (again). What is the only word in the *English* language that
is pronounced differently when CAPITALIZED but spelled exactly the same.
"Job" and "herb" don't qualify.

Job and job spring to mind.....

 

[Bob I]

No, example:
Job satisfaction is an important issue in preventing employees from
looking for a different job.

Aha! "Job" as in the name, pronounced "Jobe" and "job" as in what you do
for a living!

Not bad but not the word I was looking for.

"job" and "Job" are pronounced differently.
"herb" and "Herb" are pronounced differently.
"reading" and "Reading" are pronounced differently.

How do these not qualify?

 

[Alias]

"job" and "Job" are pronounced differently.
Agreed.

"herb" and "Herb" are pronounced differently.
Agreed.

"reading" and "Reading" are pronounced differently.
Agreed.

How do these not qualify?

They do. Congratulations, but it still isn't the word I had in mind. I must
admit, you are the first to come up with these and now I will have to add
them to list. I have asked the question on many fora and you're the first to
come up with anything.
