Look at me post.

a Ph.D.-holding English professor who apparently never learned the difference between an em and en dash:

Someone with a Ph.D in computers needs to teach me how to do that with my phone. :biggthumpup:

 

[MtownJacket]

technically what he wrote was a hyphen.

This is an en dash –

This is a hyphen -

this is an em dash —

What the hell is the difference?

 

[GTCrew4b]

correct. He was hyphenating two words to form an adjective. He did not use an em dash or an en dash, nor would it have been correct to use either.

his reference to his lack of em dash using was in a different post. Not in reference to his use of "Ph. D.-holding."

What the hell is the difference?

typical uses:

hyphen combines words: Brother-in-law
en dash denotes duration: Monday–Thursday
em dash used to insert an "interjection" of sorts into a sentence:
My dad—you'll never believe this—just crashed his corvette into a tree.

Okay. My apologies then. Carry on.

Jesus this is silly. Compared to 99% of student athlete tweets out there, Vad's stuff reads like Shakespeare.

Doesn't everyone have a PhD these days? GT gives them out for free.

True, but only takes a douche to put it as a handle.

Doesn't PHD stand for Paul H*witt Disaster?

Jesus this is silly. Compared to 99% of student athlete tweets out there, Vad's stuff reads like Shakespeare. As the ONLY poster on here who is a Ph.D.-holding English professor, I am kindly asking that you all "settle down, Francis."

You'd think someone with a PHD would at least get a quote correct. What's your PHD in? :BFD:

I printed my out yesterday, while I was at the UPS Store.

It was a ööööing joke. Settle down Bevis.

Ha! You got the edit in before, lol. I thought it was a pretty good joke as it was - you should have just rolled with it :wink:

So what's the deal with Elder?

So what's the deal with Elder?

He's choosing between basketball only at Purdue or both basketball and football with us. I think he is holding out to see if he gets any more pure basketball offers. We are looking good.

Allie Davison ‏@Allie_Davison For all those wondering Corn Elder (@AIR_CORN23) has a 2/20 set date to announce where/what he plans to play next season.

Seems to be reliable if he re-tweeted it.

We should, some of the other schools have filled all of their scholarships.

Yes. I tried to change my handle and you guys prevented that, so I changed the meaning.

CPJ is a brilliant strategist...what a ööööing genius, thank God we didn't sign all our scholraship spots.
