Charles James Lending Helping Hand to Rookie Bennett Jackson

Especially since he's competing with Jackson for a job

Sounds like two nice guys to have around, if possible.

One note.

Quote:

His initial struggles came from the transition of constantly running forward, to moving fluently backwards.

I think you mean fluidly ...

vibo, but yaknowwhat? English is famous for it words with multiple meanings.

From the Oxford Dictionary for fluent, 2: Smoothly graceful and effortless:
his style of play was fast and fluent.

Swing and a miss...

I still doubt he winds up top 6 among this crop.

is to help others. Unless you're a star, you typically need every bit of checkmark in the plus column. helping your teammate is a huge plus.

I wouldn't be surprised if he made it... I had both him and James making it with McBride gone... I know I'm in the minority there.

BTW, you were missed on Friday!

Thanks, dude. Got a ton of work in progress, will drop you an email.

Fluent is used primarily referring to language. Fluid is used primarily for motion. Note, I didn't say his usage was wrong. Just that when you're reaching down to the third possible definition of a word, one has probably gone too far.

But, hey. Good job not finding a way to shoehorn--a word that functions equally well as a verb and a noun- in a reference to your wine in here. It's important to develop secondary skills. Keep at it.

Swing and a miss strike two.

Oh and you didn't say his usage was wrong?

You sure as hell implied it.

We'll call that a foul tip, still 0 and 2.
