It's always important to read the fine print.

I'm never gonna give this guild up. blaugh


Are you never gonna let us down?
Are you gonna run around and desert us?
Not only will I refrain from letting you down, running around, and deserting you I also promise never to make you cry, say goodbye, *tell a lie or hurt you.


*unless it be for joking purposes


Ah, thanks Rick.

After my gunny stunt on the main forum it felt wrong to flat out promise not to tell a lie. ninja

"Tell a lie and hurt you" is a singular promise. You can tell lies that DON'T hurt, but don't tell lies that do.

It all depends on how the individual perceives it. Some see it as 1 promise while others perceive it as 2 in the same sentence. Either way it works.

I'm sure there's one and only one definite linguistic answer, but as I'm not a trained linguist I can't claim to be an authority on the subject. I do feel pretty confident that it's one single promise, though.

Well if it's all one promise then no harm no fowl, but just in case I've got the other covered as well. blaugh

I'd take it as a singular promise mostly because he says "and hurt you" instead of "or hurt you".

First of all, good for you and shame on you for breaking DRM and using Limewire.
Government pricks.

But, my iPod is smart enough to sort it the way you're having a problem with, then display it as the way you want it!
HA! THANKS CORPORATE AMERICA!

You don't see it, but I'm raspberrying you.

Yeah, I've been forced to listening to CDs, my ******** FM tuner for my iPod broke.

sad
I've gotten new songs that I like that I don't have on CDs, I don't even think I have any blank CDs just DVDs. Christ, this sucks.

I like my CD player. I get a really long battery life on it and it could go through an earthquake and still not skip. The only reason I use an MP3 player now is that I don't like the 80 minute limit on disks.
