A beautiful try Willie-boy; unfortunately you missed it. You 'mericans
are not the final arbitrator of the English language. See the extract
from the dictionary below:

phoney ~ noun very rare
1. a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does
not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives

phoney ~ adj very rare
1. fraudulent; having a misleading appearance

As I said, if you keep your mouth shut nobody will ever notice how
ignorant you are.



That seems pretty desperate. You should admit when you're wrong about
something especially if it's a small thing.



BINGO! Very rare? Bruce must confuse steaks with phony. lol


Ha.. I see you admitted you were wrong about the tides thing with
Mark. So, it seems you aren't desperate to be right even if you're
wrong about something. Seems pretty adult and smart to me!




Thanks. Somebody's got to act mature around here. Bruce is so childish
with
his constant name-calling.

Somebody's also got to provide some balance for Bruce who, even when he's
totally wrong, like in spelling phony wrong, even managed to find some
antique dictionary that had a 'very rare' spelling of 'phoney' to attempt
to
justify his erroneous spelling rather than man up and admit he was
mistaken.
Real sailors don't act like that. LOL!

Did you see what he just posted? It seems like he's deliberately
changing the meaning of what I was talking about. I'm sure i don't
know as much as he does about sailing, but I do know something about
logic and his comments seems to defy that!




The moron probably still thinks you are a sock puppet of mine so he's
treating you like he treats me. He's just a jerk.
