What Are We Looking At?

Michelle, I need to report Monk for a foul. He ended a sentence with a preposition ... this whole thread is grammatically tainted!

Cogs,
Who do you think you're talking to? Half the time you don't know what thread your in. Quit trying to butt in.

Everyone ignore Cogs statement because he rarely knows which side of an issue he's on.

Really? Cheque? So, why not ... deque? neque? speque? wreque? Obviously, there was a frenchman in the woodpile.

You need to try Welsh Cog, it's even worse.

When I speak with my cousin on our family farm in Ireland he breaks into Gaelic about 1/3rd of the time. Another third of the time his accent is so thick I cannot understand him. That leaves a net of 1/3 that is intelligible and most of that is politics and the weather. Since I'm not too interested in either, we generally wind up toasting our ancestors and their mythical deeds with Irish Whiskey.

Cog, my surname, backtracking through the various spelling alterations, is said to be Irish or possibly Scottish. I think you can guess which nationality I prefer on St. Patricks Day.

Cheers.
