postjack Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Just a quick bitchfest. TTVJ states that "All Fedex Express orders placed before noon on a business day will be shipped the same day." Smells like lies to PJ. My order placed on Sunday still shows as "pending", and my credit card has been authorized. And I paid for overnight shipping so the package would arrive before my vacation. So I've sent them an email explaining that now we'll have to totally rearrange our plans, unless of course they did ship out the package today and just didn't tell me. I had the package shipped to work, and I am off Friday, and I am NOT fucking coming into work during my vacation. Well okay I will come into work to get my package. But I will be grumpy when I do it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Sorry. It wasn't you, Nanoha, that annoyed me - the old Apple ad. Every time I saw it, I had to say under my breath, "think differently!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Are you sure about that? If "different" was supposed to modify "think", then yes, but isn't there are an admittedly more rare construct of verb predicate-adjective? Or would it have to be in quotes for that to be correct? For example, "Be different" (probably a bad example, since imperatives have an implied subject, I.E. "you", and in this case, "different" is modifying "you", but in "think different", "different" is not modifying "you"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is that they did say "think differently" somewhere in their ad text when it run few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 It is a secret! Stax. Calling it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postjack Posted November 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Stax. Calling it Nope! But the package did arrive today, only instead of shipping via Fedex overnight from TTVJ, it shipped via UPS overnight straight from the manufacturer. Either way I'm just happy to have received it. Pics and stuff later, but don't get excited, its not a big deal or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
