How many forum members does it takes to change a light bulb?




1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed

14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently

7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

1 to move it to the Lighting section

2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section

7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

5 to flame the spell checkers

3 to correct spelling/grammar flames

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct

19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum

11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum

36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty

7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's

3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group

13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"

18 who trip over each other in their rush to say "repost!"

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

Both are correct, I was taught however that spelt is considered an American or informal spelling.

In most UK English and Canadian dictionaries the only reference to 'spelt' is a type of wheat.

Try http://vancouver-webpages.com/wordnet/



Word: lamp


Synonyms/Hypernyms (Ordered by Frequency) of noun lamp
2 senses of lamp

Sense 1
lamp -- (an artificial source of illumination)
=> light, source of illumination -- (any device serving as a source of light; "he stopped the car and turned off the lights"),

Sense 2
lamp -- (a piece of furniture holding one or more electric light bulbs)
=> furniture, piece of furniture, article of furniture -- (artifacts that make a room ready for occupancy),
