I knew a BA in English had to be useful for something, not like any of use actually use it day to day :) Now if we could just prevent the use of words like technology meaning a piece of software and cadence For the frequency of doing something. Hmm, who did I give that Shakespearean curse book to? We could use a few obscure words from the bard to show how much language doth vary. It is Friday in Australia and as far as anyone knows, that is where I am posting this from :) Dan From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Stroud, Natalie K Sent: October 25, 2012 4:51 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG<mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG> Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: WWRUG13 Dates? ** So you know my qualifications, I have a B.A. in English and studied to be a technical writer way back in the day. It's interesting that I became a software tester because I find proofing software to be quite similar to proofing documents. There's at least one technical writer I know of who agrees. Technically speaking, "Users' Group" is the most correct because we are talking about a group for multiple users, but we could replace "for" with "belonging to" without losing too much meaning, and the apostrophe denotes possession. However, "Users Group" would also be acceptable despite its lack of technical correctness because it has slipped into common usage. That's how language evolves - ways of writing that at one point in time are not considered correct can move into acceptable usage if enough people adopt them. "Users <insert noun of your choice]" has apparently passed that threshold. Thanks for providing the dates, Daniel, as I'm the one who posted the original question at the bottom of this thread.

If Oracle buys out BMC, Oracle OpenWorld 2013 is Sept 22-26 It is 65X the people with 35X the papers, we won't get lost in it or anything :) There are two cities in the running for WWRUG13, Houston and San Jose. You can vote or comment in BMC Communities, And read the words to David Easter's song and a reply song from someone else In the WWRUG: World Wide BMC Remedy User Group community And yes I just noticed there is an s missing in the communities name, Or we have it wrong. Grammar experts: should it be User or Users or could both be right?

If you need dates you may not have them before 10/19. Usually the next location is announced on the last day which is the 19th. I know I've attended RUG's in multiple months. Maybe a birdie would whisper in your ear!
