Greeting All, Just picked up a rotary table yesterday that I bought from Marty Escarcega .. It looks to be as advertised. The crate it was in would probably have protected it if it had fallen out of the back of the semi on the way to washington from arizona. It was way beef. The table arrived in the same condition as shipped. I would be pleased to do business with Marty again. I would recommend him to anyone. And no. I have nothing to do with Marty. Just a satisfied customer doing the word of mouth thing. Cheers, Eric R Snow, E T Precision Machine. I'll join in here. Marty is one of those people who make the world a better place.

Here vs Hear was Doing deals with Marty Escarcega

Hey Andrew, I think we agree that it was praise for Marty, whether we hear here in the Colonies or in the UK . hmmm, seems to me if you use both, it works, and works in either order. hear me here, 'over here, hear me'. yup, yup, that must be it, the "bilingual" answer direct from rcm.... grin --Loren Hoping that your reply was said TIC..................... I've never been able to afford a set of the OED, so my determinations are still suspect of course, but under "hear" in my Collins English Dictionary one definition says: 7. hear! hear! an exclamation used to show approval of something said. I could find nothing similar under "here" in the same volume, except the terms: 2. here and there 4. here's to (this might apply to Marty tool) 6. here we go again (does that apply here?) 7. neither here nor there (definitely applies!)

Andrew Here here That's why I enjoy listening to BBC World Service television and radio - they still speak English over there. In NA the dialect seems to consist of a strange mixture of ungrammatical contractions, strained acronyms, PC buzz words and those who can't seem to utter a sentence without saying "you know" or "I mean".

Here vs Hear was Doing deals with Marty Escarcega
I am fortunate enough to have a set of the original OED ("A New English
Dictionary on Historical Principles") and this is the entry: The imperitive Hear!, now usually repeated, Hear! hear! (formerly Hear him! hear him!) is used as an exclamation to call attention to a speaker's words, and hence has become a general expression of approbation or 'cheering'. It is now the regular form of cheering [CHEER sb, 8] in the House of Commons, and expresses, according to intonation, admiration, aquiescence, indignation, derision, etc. following this are quotes from nine publications from 1689 through 1865 to illustrate the history of usage. b. Hence as sb. Hear, hear! (formerly hear-him), a cheer. Also Hear-hear v. intr., to shout 'hear! hear!; trans., to acclaim with shouts of 'hear! hear!'; to cheer. Hence Hear-hearer. then nine more historical quotes from 1727 to 1895. I've never been able to afford a set of the OED, so my determinations are still suspect of course, but under "hear" in my Collins English Dictionary one definition says: 7. hear! hear! an exclamation used to show approval of something said. I could find nothing similar under "here" in the same volume, except the terms: 2. here and there 4. here's to (this might apply to Marty tool) 6. here we go again (does that apply here?) 7. neither here nor there (definitely applies!)

Greg Sefton Well, they're no Al-Jazeera, or Straits Times. :-) But they do still have a reputation for even handed reporting of world events which is a cut above most news services. Of course, as usual with current affairs reporting, you need to get information from a wide variety of sources, and not just blindly trust any one source. News reporting is never free of cultural and political biases, you have to glean the reality out of all the dross by looking at the topic from a number of angles. Gary The BBC USED to have a reputation for even handed reporting of world events. Now they push their agenda as vigorously as Pravda did in the past George |
