I did a search. Should it be plaintiff or plaintive? The two are of totally different meaning. Plaintiff; the person who brings complaint against someone else in court. Plaintive; sounding sad.

Dang I just realised something. Haaaa....

Hey, I google myself. What can I say? I'm the kind of NAW that get off on being cited in footnotes and bibliographies, too.

I think that there are some on this board that are (who should know that a particular word is "plaintive" and not "plaintiff"), but for the most part I think most folks here are people with a few common interests who like to exchange thoughts and ideas, on both sides of the issues.


I agree. The only real attenchun whoer here is speling challenged me.

By the way Skippy, on the other thread, you've let too many pages go by without attentively telling people not to pay me attention.

Now, I can certainly understand your wish to keep your attentiveness secret (hypocracy avoidance?). But, I am affraid you may have inadvertantly spilled the beans (so to speak) by pointing out my spelling error that occured pages after you intimated your shock and appaul that anyone would read or post on the thread. ;-)

A quiz for attention whores:

http://www.blogthings.com/areyouanattentionwhorequiz/

My results:

You're perfectly happy with who you are, and you don't need attention to feel good about yourself.
You prefer to let your actions and accomplishments speak for themselves.
Working hard to get people to like you is your idea of a nightmare.
You've got a lot going on, and anyone with half a brain will notice that on their own!

You come across as: Confident and serious

People may wrongly think you're: Stuck up and shy


Do share.

Ack!
You Are An Attention Seeker
You're only human, so you can't help but want a little attention every now and then.
You love the spotlight, but only when it's well deserved. You'd hate to be known for the wrong thing.
And you also don't mind sharing the spotlight. You can easily give someone else credit or a complement.
You know there's enough attention to go around, and it makes you happy when your friends shine.

You come across as: Friendly and interesting

People may wrongly think you're: A little more modest than you actually are!


I blame these results on wanting to go out on the dance floor and changing my hair styles often!

That's not quite right. People also think I'm arrogant (and maybe I am).

Hmmm. The only thing I could have ticked to get this is buying my friends what they are dying for. One of my friends almost killed me once because I bought her a CD, she was going on about, for her Birthday. She strangled me screaming. And maybe telling most of my friends when something good happens.
