Do you believe in punctuation?
Yes he needs to test, no there’s no way out of it.
What for it won’t make a difference
That’s why limited license holders need testing. Punctuation can make a huge difference. Those who think it doesn’t should stick to mudboats. Knowing how to read and write makes a difference.
I could say “attention to detail” but punctuation is such a very basic thing, you have to be truly obtuse to ask, why.
Needs to take the full set of exams.
I suspect that you’re probably a well educated Yankee, and that you are just acting like a 1970’s era mudboat driver from the bayou in order to jerk our chain.
I’m from New York you understand
That isn’t saying much. Anyone north of I-10 is a yankee.
I thought it was anyone north of where you’re from is a yankee.
Hell, anyone North of the ICW is a Yankee.
So that means everyone north of Key West?
Im afraid so. I am a Bayou traitor.
Few years ago when I had my stint in the gulf I was told I-10 was the reference…I told my shipmate I did live south of I-10, but in california. Turns out being from the land of fruits and nuts was worse than being a yankee.
American by birth southern by the grace of God.
ROLL TIDE!!!
Play some Skynard Dude!!!
Smh
He will have to test again.
So, I just got back from Boston and Salem last week… I live in Florida and I can say that while the history was interesting, I was rather disappointed from everything I had heard about the North. Everyone I have ever worked with from up that way has ranted and raved about it, maybe I just had an unrealistic expectation and was let down. I didn’t even hear the over exaggerated accents that I hoped for, not even one “Wicked cool” or “Labstah”…
