Luck and deadly viruses.
ok, I wondering howmany ofyall consider yourselves lucky.
Say this bird flue hits the Us (or whereever you live) but its much, much worse than they think it will be. Say its spreaded halfway across your nation infecting 75% of the populus. Further more it appears to be 75% fatal. Based on this you not only are very likely to catch the disease, but also to perish from it. The flu is spreading with not sign of stopping,

[/ QUOTE ] So lets see, 75% of 75% of 50%, so thats what, about 19/100 will die based on your predictions. Yea, I'm not too worried, especially since I really don't anticipate bird flue being anywhere near the threat in this country that they are saying it could be. Just another thing the media is using to make sure there is a story and a scared audience somewhere, IMO.

Re: Luck and deadly viruses.
its 75% of 75% no 50% involved, saying it was halfway across the nation was just so that you know the numbers are true befor e it hits you.

Why aren't you in school today, young one? I know you've got Remedial English (spelling, writing, etc.) and Comprehension on your schedule.

Re: Luck and deadly viruses.
im glad you chimed in with the errorof my ways. Besides your post is a beacon to all those who strive for excellence in English. I like the part where you mistakenly capitalize subjects, a true testament to your mastery of the language.
In summary, respond to what i asked or dont respond at all.

[/ QUOTE ] Always happy to be of assistance. Beacon? Hardly, IMO. Capitalization of proper nouns, as in titles, is but one of my peccadillos. Not an indication of mastery.
