| 382206 | 2005-08-19 05:05:00 | I'm off home for the day - but I got the answer before I leave. If anyone cares for the answer, it is (highlight the following): --"thirty gross plus one" - A "gross" = 144-- |

| 382208 | 2005-08-19 13:16:00 | Well, if we want to be picky... Strictly speaking, those four words don't make a sentence. As Veale has said, a sentence is supposed to contain a verb. (But that's grammar versus texters, so I guess I'm out of date) |

| 382209 | 2005-08-20 01:25:00 | a sentence is supposed to contain a verb. That's not correct. eg "A dog" is a sentence. |

| 382210 | 2005-08-20 03:30:00 | "A dog" isn't a sentence. A sentence needs a subject and a verb. "A dog" by itself means nothing. | ad_267 (6193) | ||
| 382211 | 2005-08-20 03:42:00 | And to add another piece of useless information - (unless you're taking part in a quiz, that is) Question: What's the shortest sentence in the Bible? Answer: Jesus wept. It has both a subject and a verb. |

| 382212 | 2005-08-20 05:59:00 | And the shortest possible sentence: I am. |
