Let's look at your statement, Buddy... You state: I don't doubt there is plenty of bizzare behavior to find --- these guys keep flip-flopping their statements so often, and contradicting official records, that I suspect some of them are pretty fragile reeds to lean on.... Message 20447332 How can I make an assumption that what I said 'sounded like' saying the swifties 'flip-flopped everyday'? Apparently you are not familiar with the word "often". Main Entry: of·ten Pronunciation: 'o-f&n, ÷'of-t&n Function: adverb Etymology: Middle English, alteration of oft : many times : FREQUENTLY m-w.com Let's also look at synonyms for the word "often": Entry Word: often Function: adverb Text: many times <we called often but still could not reach you> Synonyms again and again, frequently, much, oft, oftentimes, ofttimes, over and over, repeatedly, time and again Idioms a number of times, many a time, many times over, time and time again Contrasted Words infrequently, rarely; now and then, occasionally Antonyms seldom m-w.com So, Buddy, let's substitute this definition in to your original post: these guys keep flip-flopping their statements so many times How about using synonyms for the word "often"... these guys keep flip-flopping their statements again and again Or these guys keep flip-flopping their statements so frequently Or these guys keep flip-flopping their statements so much Or these guys keep flip-flopping their statements so oft Or these guys keep flip-flopping their statements over and over Or these guys keep flip-flopping their statements repeatedly Or these guys keep flip-flopping their statements time and again Seems pretty clear to me...I guess you should worry about your own state of mind, eh? You may also want to get yourself a dictionary. :) Diz-
