No, I'm still spinning here in my /g/r/a/v/e/ ... er... mini-cubicle.

Oh, alright. I'm back to thinking they're gerunds, and I'm slightly mollified.

By the way, what was the word "thinking" in that last sentence?

A partund or a gerusicle?



Bwaaaaahahahahahahaaaa!



How is Gramma, by the way?

And now I have a thing. I like calling them gerunds, especially when someone shares with me off list:
<quote>
No, I think gerund is correct. As in "she wants to learn more about removing or destroying content." Not, "he is destroying content." Nor, "this content is of the type that destroys things, i.e. 'destroying content'."
</quote>
I used to use the "add a 'the'" ... but now have been given a different method.
Leave it to this list to set people straight. If not "What does MMS actually say?" then "What's good about gramma[r]?"
Thanks,
-Tony
PS: Feel better, Kevin? ;-)

Nit: it's "verb in participle form". A gerund is when -ing verb is used as a noun. ;-P
