[edit] Jane Kaczmarek wins

If you find it so important to state she never won...then edit the Julia Duffy and Angela Lansbury pages, as they both had 0 records when it came to Emmys as well. For there is a need for uniformity. I personally find it not necessary, since it is implied she did not win since it stated she was merely nominated. Besides, other sites never highlight losses, but merely promote winnings. Thanks for your contributions though Small5th 21:44, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

haha i wish Angela Lansbury did win, but she has the saddest record in Oscars and Emmys. Lost the Emmy 11 times and Oscars 3 times. You can verify on the site actually...the View interviewed her about it But thank you though! Small5th 00:35, 2 April 2007 (UTC) c) 12:01, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Classmates vs. "classmates"

I'd like to direct your attention towards Talk:Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?#Classmates vs. "classmates" – I believe I have relayed both sides of the debate, but invite you to comment or participate in it so that we can come to a conclusion about which to use without the need for edit warring. Thanks. —Daniel Vandersluis(talk) 14:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Singular "They"

Read up on the now accepted usage of singular they - particularly see: Singular they#Modern reactions. "They" is an accepted form of singular when the gender is undetermined. Just like the word "you" was originally only for plural, "thee" was the singular. Today, "They" is becoming acceptable for singular, because he/she is awkward, and just using "he" or "she" is gender specific, though it's another way these things are commonly written. There's nothign wrong with "they", grammatically, and it's far more easy to read than "The contestant picks a prize and the contestant then finds out if the contestant has won"...

[edit] Diet Pepsi Max - 12-Ounce change

Hi, I've changed the article to read 355ml again from 12-Ounces. I assume you were referring to 12 US Fluid Ounces but this wasn't inherently clear. It may be preferable to keep it with an internationally standard measurement rather than a US Customary measurement (For example Imperial Fluid Ounces are different from US Customary Fluid Ounces). Perhaps 12-US FL OZ could be added in parenthesis if you feel it’s important to the article? Quigabyte 04:16, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
