Licensing question

I guess I didn't understand what you meant when when you said, "Are you
sure they don't allow two computers with an Student office xp?"

Miss Perspicacia Tick,
I think you need some reading glasses.

1.1 Installation and use. You may:
(a) install and use a copy of the Software on one personal computer or
other device; and
(b) install an additional copy of the Software on a second, portable
device for the exclusive use of the primary user of the first copy of
the Software.

I did say 1.1b but left out that last part, because no one told me
that.

Here is what I said
"I being reading the xp general newsgroup. It always has been with
any office version. That can install it on one computer and a
portable computer. It can not to be used at the same time"

Yes, I added "It can not to be used at the same time" because an mvp
told me this.

We are agreeing on the eula but we are just using different wording.

It seems you Miss Tick you may have some comprehension problems.
If you are that picky on wording. Why in the world are you using the
name Miss Perspicacia Tick? It sure does not fit an English major.

I got the version mixed up. Microsoft make a lot and has different
rules for each version. It gets a little confusing at times.

OK, you two. Knock it off!

Miss Tick, give up!

Greg R, please learn some grammar. She is NOT the only one to notice, but
the only one to waste her time trying to educate you. Your grammar is not
only appalling, it is embarrassing. Also, your statement to her that her
chosen pseudonym "...sure does not fit an English major" is completely
wrong, since the Spanish word "perspicacia" is equal to the English word
"perspicacity" meaning "Acuteness of perception, discernment, or
understanding." That took a one-minute Google search to find.

Greg, if you are going to try to insult her intelligence by pointing out
"what a MVP" is, you may want to re-read her post. She asked "Who's 'Mvp'?"
(as in "who is the person who posts under the pseudonym of Mvp?") and not
"what is an MVP?".

Miss Tick, as an English major, you should understand the need to leave out
the "erm" thing in your posts. It gets REAL annoying and has no grammatical
need to be there. Perhaps you clear your throat a lot when speaking, but
please leave it out of your written word.

Enough is enough, folks! LET IT DIE!

I once had a frontal lobotomy...or was that a bottle in front of me?

Gregg Hill,
I told Miss Perspicacia Tick my grammar is worse when I mad or upset.
I have since removed that post. In the xp general newsgroup. I
never been told my grammar is bad. Her pseudonymTick does not fit an
English major. I could be very technical if I wanted to be. We are
agreeing about the eula. It does not seem the Miss Tick is getting
that message. I was just using different wording. My newsreader
may add extra spaces between words. I use a spelling & grammar
checker. I did use the word ain’t intentionally in my post.

Greg,

Please take this post in the spirit of helpfulness. My first question to you
is "Were you raised in an English-speaking country?" I am not trying to put
you down...I just realize that posts come from around the world, and anybody
posting using English as their second language will never get a grammar
lesson from me, since I only speak one language fluently and enough Spanish
to get into trouble. If your post is in your second language, more power to
you!

If English is your primary language, then I respectfully suggest you buy a
good book on English grammar, as there are several improper items in your
post. Here are some corrections. I will highlight the corrections **in
between** asterisks.

1) "...grammar is worse when I mad or upset." That should read "...grammar
is worse when I **am** mad or upset."

2) "In the xp general newsgroup." is a sentence fragment. It would read more
clearly and flow better if you said "I have since removed that post **from**
the xp general newsgroup." Make it one sentence instead of breaking it into
two chunks.

3) "I never been told my grammar is bad." That should read "I **have** never
been told my grammar is bad." Just because no one points it out does not
mean it is not true. Think of it this way. How often do you point out to a
person with real bad breath that they have a problem? Sometimes you should
point it out, since severely bad breath can be a sign of hidden medical
problems (it was for my younger brother). In the case of bad grammar, it
makes one look less intelligent than he/she may be.

4) "It does not seem the Miss Tick is getting that message." This line
should read "It does not seem **that** Miss Tick is getting that message."

5) From your quoted post at the bottom of this one: "I being reading the xp
general newsgroup." This one should read "I **have been** reading the xp
general newsgroup."

I do not think you are agreeing about the EULA. You said, "In windows xp &
windows xp pro you can have user accounts. In a sense your are saying I
could not let anyone use any program on my own computer. That is the
stupidest thing I even heard of. No one has the right to tell me I can not
share the use of the program. If some person came over and asked to use my
computer. That's my choice and no eula is going to tell me otherwise
period. If people followed the eula, They would have to turn off the virus
scanner, when someone else is using my computer. Actual no one follows the
eula including ms. Otherwise there would not have user accounts."

When you state, "Actual no one follows the eula including ms. Otherwise
there would not have user accounts", you misunderstand what the EULA is
saying. It is not saying that other people cannot use your computer. It is
saying that you can only install the software on one computer and one
portable device fro non-concurrent use. If you have it installed on a
portable device in addition to your main computer, then the portable device
has to be for your use, i.e., not for your wife or a friend to use the
laptop while you are using the desktop. On that last point, you two do
agree.

I am not sure why she uses the "Tick" in her pseudonym (perhaps it is
related to the "erm" she puts in her posts?), but the "Miss Perspicacia" is
related to her English major, as I pointed out in my previous post.

If you take this information to heart, you will put yourself across as more
intelligent and professional. If your résumé has even one grammatical error,
it will often be tossed out. Yes, grammar is important.

Sorry about the 'erm' - I do that when I'm pointing out the bleedin'
obvious. I promise to cut it out in future. I'm afraid your theories
regarding my moniker, whilst excellent, are, I'm afraid, completely wrong.
Miss Perspicacia Tick was the name of a witch/medium in one of my favourite
books (Miss Tick 'mystic' - geddit? ;o)) But they were interesting.

Also, whilst we're on the subject of good grammar, I feel I must correct a
tiny point of yours. "...do you point out to a person with real bad
breath..." I know that using 'real' as an adverb is something that has found
its way into common US English usage, but it's gramatically incorrect.
'Real' is an adjective (a word that describes a noun - this isn't for you,
it's in case our friend is still reading!), it is more correct to say
"...really bad breath', in other words, it should be the adverbial form of
the adjective. OK, whilst you may feel I'm arguing semantics, you were the
one who pointed out that an incorrect word on a CV could lose you that job.

Although the phrase 'bad breath' doesn't contain a verb, it already contains
one adjective ('bad') and, as it's considered bad grammar to use two
adjectives in a row, the secondary qualifier is (usually) an adverb.

I know you might think I'm being picky, but we are talking about strictly
correct grammar!

I guess my grammar is bad, at least it is not horrible unless I am
tired, mad or upset. I have a form of dyslexia that causes grammar
problems. I will have to live with this problem.

Today, A person told me I am excellent with configuring computers and
I should get into that business. That made my feel great

Does Microsoft Word do better at grammar corrections than Microsoft
works?

Hey Cerridwen,

Are you bonking that Misstick or are you using these names interchangeably to confuse the world at large?

The reason I ask is because you seem to be using her tag lines!

You may not know but her great-grandfather was born and raised in Elgin who might have lost his marbles. He was cretinous, moronic f*ckwit behind her
marbles and who abused her physically, sexually and emotionally.
