Damn Tony. Get a life!

Haha. I removed any mention of 1000 posts from my post like THREE seconds after I posted thinking maybe I *won't* be able to make it tonight.

So yeah...cat's out of the bag. I'm whoring for 1000 =)

I believe the "h" rule only works sometimes but not always.
The sentences you provided as examples for the 'h' rule illustrate precisely why it is used in some cases and not others. I think it generally applies only to words with the dreaded 'silent' h, such as 'hour'.

The english language rule I have difficulty in comprehending is the pronunciation of 'one'. Same as 'won'. How does that work? Come to think of it, why the h is the h silent in some words anyway?

Reminds me of something rather 'umerous', har. I used to have a boss named Hedley who was originally from Newfoundland. One of the best people I ever had the pleasure to work for. We were on a business trip to the grand isle, along with another fellow by the name of Ed. Now anyone that's familiar with the Newfie dialect may already know where I might be going with this! Don't remember who came up with the phrase, surely another Newf, since they have their own way of dealing with the letter 'h'. Anyhow, I was not on a trip with Hedley and Ed, rather in Newfonese, I was on a trip with 'Edley' and 'Hed'!

I'm not making any garantees man lol. I need to sort out my aquascape and I'm fussy as hell. I need to get some rods and epoxy for the big day/days.

And Doug that hurts dude. I bought some socks and a net the other day so you wouldn't wonder why I was in the shop AGAIN. I care man...I'm just looking for friends *sniff*
