Up until a few years ago the word decade was one that only archaeologists and historians used. No one used it in everyday speech. But now it is one of those words that is used every day. Where I live it was always forty years or simply "years". But we are trying to all be modern with the times, and many on these forums are dong a good job of adopting the up-to-date way of talking. However, there is another new use of a word that has not been very well accepted here yet. That is the use of the word "so". It used to be used only as a conjunction joining phrases. I did this, so he did that. But no more. There are a number on these forums that are using it the new way which is to start pretty much all sentences with it, but we need to all get with the program and try to use it to start all sentences. After all we don't want to look like a bunch of old codgers do we? So my tractor's FWA is still engaging on it's own. So what do I do?
Also threw in IMHO as everyone needs to use some abbreviations everyone else is supposed to understand, and some emoticons too!
