Yes, I forgot the {-moH}.

Argh.
Yes, I meant {wI-}.
The object subject changed the same between my two sentences, but not the
object and I didn=CA=BBt catch that.

Okay, I can see that.

I=CA=BBm not familiar enough with kitchen staff to know what I mean.
She=CA=BBs a Sous Chef. She=CA=BBs under the Chef de Cuisine, who I guess w=
ould be
the {vutwI=CA=BB quv}, but she=CA=BBs a salaried position above the rest of=
 her stuff
and gets the fancy jacket with her name on it.

I was wanting a way to get across that she was more than a short order
cook, but also not make it look like she=CA=BBs the main chef.
KGT doesn=CA=BBt get this detailed.

Also, I meant {mebpa=CA=BB=CA=BBa=CA=BBmey}.

Thanks for the link, I=CA=BBll need to add this to my notes.

I remember putting a {-Daq} there, guess my brain moved faster than my
fingers on that one.
But yes, I was trying to play on the term "homemaker".
I like that scene in "The Neutral Zone" (TNG) where Data assumes the
occupation of "homemaker" means that she is in construction.
Realizing that this is not a Klingon phrase, I added the smiley to note
that I wasn=CA=BBt seriously suggesting this as a term.

I realized this morning, upon rereading this lists FAQ, that non-canon
names get 1 *, not 2.
So, I should=CA=BBve written {*cha=CA=BB=CA=BBIv}.
It=CA=BBs my daughter=CA=BBs name.

My children have themed dress up days at school.
Tuesday was Black Tie Day, Wednesday was Camo Day, Today is Nerd Day.
They=CA=BBre supposed to dress like nerds.

I was afraid my joke would get lost in translation.
My daughter was trying to figure out how to dress like a nerd.
I told her to wear one of my shirts. (because I have nerdy shirts).

Problem is, "behave in the manner of" is totally different than "dress in
the clothing of".
I thought about using "pretend", but that doesn=CA=BBt work either.
