I'm not sure if it quite hits the controversial level, but this could be my immense lack of personal understanding as it pertains to the converb!. However, I do believe the message that you're sending!. In fact, thanks to efforts of people like you, oil has dropped nine dollars a barrel, so rumor has it!. Thanks, Sptfyr!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't see the controversy in this one--unless, of course, you sent it to Shell!. It is more like a straight-forward statement, but I'll let the inventor judge!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

maybe!? it's not serving as the main verb in an independent statement but rather a dependant clause!.!.!.!.but it doesn't really follow the pattern of the examples i've seen!. regardless, keep stickin-it!Www@QuestionHome@Com
