I tried touching a light bulb once and it burned me. Because of that experience I will never screw another light bulb again. I swear I'm not lumin-ist.

[ezed]

Ecstatic's post should be imortalized. It should be put in the Annoucement Section as a thread titled "Required Reading prior to posting".

EXCELLENT!!!!! :claps :claps :claps :claps :claps :claps :claps :claps :claps :claps :claps :claps :claps :claps :claps :claps :claps :claps :claps :claps

Wonderful way to get your point across. :wink:

[trish]

Isn't it considered improper, when writing prose, to use arabic numerals in place of cardinal numbers? That is to say, I believe you should spell out the numbers rather than use numerals.

[Alchemist]

Does reading this thread make me gay?

[Baron Of Hell]

I just changed out a few light bulbs for the low energy bulbs that last for years. They were like $4 for two.

[Ecstatic]

Isn't it considered improper, when writing prose, to use arabic numerals in place of cardinal numbers? That is to say, I believe you should spell out the numbers rather than use numerals.
While style books may vary on the finer points, generally speaking this is true of small numbers such as the numbers one through ten, and of two-word number such as 24. Larger numbers are legitimately represented in prose by cardinal numerals, and if there is a mix of smaller and larger numbers, it's better to be consistent. Traditionally, while one would write twenty or twelve, one would write 24 or 48, and certainly 38,392.

http://www.dailywritingtips.com/10-rules-for-writing-numbers-and-numerals/

Note: one general rule which I violated in my post is that numbers beginning a sentence should be spelled out. But in a list like this, for clarity and not as formal writing, numerals work fine.

It's that bright thing that goes off every now and again on HA when some dude realizes he isn't gay because he's attracted to tgirls and not to men.

I really don't want the light bulb to change, as long as my lamp has something extra and is happy with it.

TSTV_Lover - please refer to the last line of the list - FYI - it's only been approximately 3 1/2 months since the original post. Therefore I believe there needs to be a new thread started to discuss the merits of reposting a post before the correct authorized post time.

and 1 to post a pic of a light bulb

I prefer white bulbs to coloreds. They are brighter. I guess that's a good looking bulb. I prefer narrower bulbs. :idea:

What a shallow way to judge a bulb. Shouldn't we appreciate the light that shines from within?

[tstv_lover]

I can't believe we haven't even discussed the merits of energy saver light bulbs vs conventional light bulbs

[Ecstatic]

No one wants to discuss the fact that "green" twisty-style bulbs each contain enough mercury to poison 6,000 gallons of water beyond human safety limits, and shed light which is much worse for our eyes than incandescent bulbs.

Nice to see this thread has legs!

(Nicer to see that Sunny Dee-Lite and Jennifer Paris have exquisite legs!)
