Word (write lettas n' shit, yo) didn't try to correct any of the three, and google was about as helpful as a third nut.

I mean damn. you didn't do it right.

What i'm saying is if Wraparound is a word... which it would be underlined otherwise... i would use it.
because we all know that wrap is a word and around is a word so no shit they won't be underlined in any configuration

but all of them refer to wraparound.

8/28/2008 8:58:22 AM

Using whether Word underlines something as a validation is a bad idea.

8/28/2008 9:08:28 AM

I use B and C; typically, B most often.

8/28/2008 9:24:29 AM

would it be a porch or a deck?

if its covered stick with porch. if its uncovered it may be a deck.


just a thought

8/28/2008 9:28:26 AM

^^While a good point, I have a sneaking suspicion that [user]jaax883[/user] knows this.

And now this thread is making me want to go to the beach >:-O

you are very right, i'm sure he does. that was more of a food for thought/discussion question.


my dream house has a wraparound porch. with rocking chairs, swings, hammocks, and pink lemonade

And beadboard ceilings and ceiling fans, and some potted palms.

zorthage and I are forever talking about a dream home. I think we need two, because you can't mix some of the stuff we want. Kind of hard to have a wraparound porch if your home is a converted missile silo
