Don Imus has been forced to tender his resignation. I am trying to force you to tender your resignation. Capisce?
I exist! I am a pedant! I have a foreboding signature!

No, I don't, because I don't work for you. Don Imus was fired by his employer.

hey curuinor, who died and make you god?(or should that be godfather?) why should zmj resign? on your say so? ha!
you'll need to come up with a better reason. nuncle zjm (I am, here, taking liberites, since i am not really close enough to him to address him so familiarly, but...) is welcome (as are you!) to post here as often as he wants! i think you are, if not alone, in a minority, with a call for him to resign.

And I must say: Please tender thy resignation, zmjezhd. We cannot accept such an offensive poster in our WBC Boards. Maybe it's just me, but would the choice of an appropriate smiley here have caused you not be taken literally, Curuinor?  And what's a WBC Board?

And I am anathema to smilies. Oh well.Anathema is a goodly noun from the Greek, via Latin, ultimately related to a whole slew of words descended from PIE * dhē- 'to set, put', some of my favorites of which are: fact, doom, deed, theorem, salmagundi, etc.

From your link, jmz: 1. Suffixed form *dhē-ti-, “thing laid down or done, law, deed.” deed; indeed, .... Not deity?

Not deity?No, Latin deus (Juppiter, i.e., Jove father), Greek Zeus, is from PIE * dyeu- 'to shine; god'. PIE * dh > Latin f, Greek th, but * dy > Latin d, ( j), Greek z.

I am an object of great revilement to smilies. In addition, the feeling is mutual.
