Jabber's English Note

"All women are historian. Every woman has a ledger of everything. Whenever something is wrong, she can find a record and tell you it is your fault. ..."

This is one of my co-workers' comments. He is a complete sexist.
Well, never mind. Now I give a ledger example:

1)09/23, $5 for cigarettes;
2)09/23, $10 for 2 movue ticktes
3)09/25, $300 for tuition
4)09/26, $10 for a gift to Jim's daughter;
....

Or, if all the women are like what my co-worker described, a family ledger may be as follows:
1)09/23, (husband) remit $500 to his parent
2)09/23, (husband) lose his jacket when going out with colleagues
3)09/28, (husband) invite 2 friends home without a notice (to wife)
4)09/28, (husband) buy two packs of napkins at a discount price, which turn out more expensive that in CostCo
5)09/30, (husband) talk his mother for 69 minutes, which costs $13.38
....

For those who has ever touched finacial systems, the word "ledger" is not a deal.

    • Dear Jabber, you must have forgot nearly half of Chinese are studying accounting now. :-)
      • In 2 or 3 years, 6 of Chinese ladies in Canada will be accountants.
        Unfortunately, some of them can take care of their family ledgers only. Sorry for my frankness.
    • I would rather change your statement to "All married women are historian" :)
      • That's why people need polish their writings. Thank you for your polish.
        Well, a woman may live with her partner, instead of her husband.
        • That's why people need to polish their writings. Thank you for your polishing.
          • ?
            • polish can be used as a noun. If a noun is available, one should use a noun instead of a gerund.
              • They may be slightly different in meaning and usage though.
              • 我觉得瘦猪是对的,至少第一句你原来的说法的确有问题。Jabber不要介意,我们觉得挑战你这个权威很cool.
                • 别给我扣帽子, 挑战权威的是金自塔, 我只会巴结讨好
                  • 你自己本身也是权威,我一直想挑战你。
                    • 本主席永远是正确的...
                  • 看样子瘦猪小姐在今年rolia晚会上和金字塔同学必有一番“较量”,小金啊,艳遇来了:)
                    • 瘦诸是公猪,大哥。:'(
                      • 你见过他?没见过的话我跟你赌瘦猪是她:)
                        • 见倒是没见过,不过瘦猪打电话恐吓过我,叫我不要再发愤青的帖子,否则后果自负。他说的都是骂街的英语,我除了听出他是个男的外,什么也没听懂。
                          难道瘦猪真是女的,电话是她男朋友打过来的?:O
                          • 哇,金字塔现在越来越可爱了!
                          • 金字塔,如果你说的是真的,我对rolia深感失望!
                            • 瘦猪怎么可能是女的,您老的眼神歪哪里去了。。。:)
                            • 为什么呀?瘦猪怎么伤您的感情啦? :-D
                            • 而且金字塔的黑色幽默你也没看出来。:)
                              • 我现在也经常被请进灌水区. 不知道为什么. 难道每说句话, 都要回答网友个问题吗? 我不懂车, 不懂房的, 这不是难为我吗?
                                • 你是该进灌水区...就冲您这说梦话一样的胡言乱语.. :-P
                                  • 怎样才是对的? 有没有权威解释?
