I feel like I may be becoming a Lurker
Lurker does not participate in normal forum discourse, but he's out there...watching, reading every message. He is usually quite harmless, and more often than not his silence reflects a natural reticence rather than sinister motives. If a fight breaks out he will quietly observe to avoid revealing his position. Occasionally, however, some mysterious impulse drives him to de-lurk and attack. This totally unexpected assault is universally regarded as an ambush, and other Warriors will turn on him savagely. Lurker seldom sticks around to fight it out, however, and after a brief exchange, he once again slips out of sight.

...so instead I'll just be quite. |
Reticence Ret"i*cence\, n. [L. reticentia: cf. F. r['e]ticence.]
1. The quality or state of being reticent, or keeping silence; the state of holding one's tonque; refraining to speak of that which is suggested; uncommunicativeness.
Such fine reserve and noble reticence. --Tennyson.
2. (Rhet.) A figure by which a person really speaks of a thing while he makes a show as if he would say nothingon the subject.

Yes I know this but in sentence form I believe it should be as such: I own 6 Calf. There are 6 calves running in the meadow. . Try another example.....He owns 6 cattle. it ain't 6 cattles, right? . It seems this one was of those word fricken problem dealios I struggled with in gradeschool so it stuck with me. It's very possible I'm still confused but its possible I'm not too.
