Ahhhh the bee story. NASTY.Bostondevil wrote:And I've yet to read the bee story.
Let us know the details of BTDfest and I'd bet you have a few folks here attendMcGrupp wrote:Any and all are welcome at BTD. Please note that registering is a bit of a hassle. Basically I need each new registrant to send me a personal email because we get hundreds of Russian porn bots trying to register each day. You can find the details within the "please read before posting" thread that is pinned at the top of the page.
Those of you who are in the Triangle area may be joining just in time for BTDFest 3, which is becoming our annual get-together. We've had people come from as far away as Arizona and Canada in the past, and we expect some long distance travelers this year as well.
Oh and by the way, I am BTD_Steve on BTD. A hold-over name from the blog days. I have been considering changing my name back over to McGrupp, though. (This would result in my posting total being reset to zero, which I understand the culture here would view as a tragic waste). ;)

It's not an adverb, it's a noun. When the present participle of a verb functions as a noun, it's known as a gerund. For example, in the sentence, "I am post-whoring," "post-whoring is a verb--something I am in the act of doing. However, to say "I frequently engage in post-whoring" transforms the phrase into a noun, as if someone were to say "I frequently play baseball." "Post-whoring" and "baseball" serve analogous purposes in the two preceding sentences.OZZIE4DUKE wrote:[PWing - Post Whoring. adverb, the actions of a PW (is it an adverb?

We fully intend to continue this fall. The rules are simple: you bring some good food, you bring some good libations, you share with all and you cheer for Duke FB the remainder of the day. We'll be meeting this fall under and around a tent that Ozzie has rented, with about 8-9 others who are sharing the cost, from the ID and it will be tent #2 in the Card Gym lot.

An adverb, on the other hand, is a descriptive word that modifies a verb. Think of it this way: adverb is to verb as adjective is to noun. For example, in the sentence "I post-whore profligately," the adverb is "profligately," as that word further describes the manner in which I post-whore. In the overwhelming majority of cases, adverbs end in -ly.
Got all that?
Grammar police, at your service.
