A man I worked for a while back told me to stop writing the date the 'European' way. I told him it was how I was taught in the Army and just stuck with it. He said he wanted it the American way.
Not sure what Army he thought I was in. smh
As for the words above - it's jewel-ry not jewl-e-ry.
Did you start doing it the "American" way after that?
I make my fours the way you typed it in your post. My first job out of uni I was writing reports longhand, and the secretaries would type them up on a mid-frame computer. It wasn't long after that that PCs were coming available. Anyway, my supervisor proof read my report and wanted me to change to an open top four, because "nobody uses the one with the closed top". I whipped open one of my textbooks and showed him page 4.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
