If that's what you want to do, you shouldn't post it here; you should post it on facebook.

Oui, Mais non [0], Lord Lounge of Luton is a sine qua non, an enfant terrible, primo inter pares, and a nonpareil [1] nonpareil [2].
[0] referring to Dalek Dave's little-known dancing role (in drag) in this video by French chanteuse Mylene Farmer: [^].
[1] nonpareil as noun: "a candy that is a small, flat, round piece of chocolate covered with tiny balls made of sugar" Merriam-Webster
[2] nonpareil as adverbial prepositional phrase used idiomatically: "without equal."

That's because the single word "nonpareil" is described as a "prepositional phrase".
Replace "prepositional phrase" with "preposition", and it sounds more like Latin.
HTH.

Forsooth! Bill used a "prepositional phrase" to end a sentence with? 
|
|
|

Atcherley, "without equal" is an adverbial phrase (or phrasal adverb), so, technically speaking, there isn't a preposition.
But I was trying to avoid technical accuracy, because that feels too much like work, and this is the Lounge, so I went for chuckles.

Hi Mark, when an adverbial phrase has no subject, no predicate, no verb (action implied), it is "legal" to call it an "adverbial prepositional phrase:" [^].
But, I was just raving having fun with vocabulary, and it's probably just as legal to call that usage an adjectival phrase
cheers, Bill

It's "legal" to call it a banana, if you want -- I don't give a bugger, so long as what it intends to communicate is understood by the reader when it's used. That is the only reason that words exist.
[Unnecessarily technical, again] It could be described as a compound adjective if used with a copular verb, but, since a: the synonymous adjective "unequalled" can be used either with or without a copular, and b: adverbs are allowed to modify nouns, there's nothing really to be gained by calling it anything other than an adverb.
Except potential confusion, of course, which seems to be what many "grammarians" (as opposed to people who have studied the language seriously) like to cause -- the baby Jesus went to alt.usage.english and he cried and he cried and he cried.

I have too much respect for bananas do that, Dave.

A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on Pennsylvania Avenue Washington DC . Nothing was moving.
Suddenly, a man knocks on the driver's window.
The driver rolls down the window and asks, "What's going on?"
"Terrorists have kidnapped all of our politicians during a sitting of parliament, and they're asking for a $100 million ransom.
Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire.
We are going from car to car collecting donations."
"How much is everyone giving, on average?" the driver asks.
The man replies, "Roughly two gallons."

Erm, Washington DC is not where "parliament" is usually held.

Yup, that's precisely why I edited it to read "Congress" in place of "Parliament" before stealing it and posting it on another site. I also changed "sitting" to "session," if it matters to anyone. I'm happy to report that I've scored quite a few  on that site since posting late last night.

So the Canadians came back to finish the job and did a better job of planning than they did the last time when they let them all get away.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A user voted my CWtlPicture article a 1 because I did not supply an EXE file with the article. I stopped putting EXEs with most articles a few years ago because of virus concerns and because targeting multiple platforms (32 bit, 64 bit, etc.) adds complexity to the link structure.
I know it is more convenient to download and run a pre-compiled EXE than to download and build a project. However, at least half of the Code Project EXEs I've recently download either crash or do not run at all, so I have to debug and/or build the project anyway.
On the article submission page, it says "If emailing files, please do not email executable files within zips. Our email provider automatically bounces any email containing exe's, or zip's with exe's inside." But it is possible to send EXE files in other ways.
What is your take on providing EXE files with articles? Do you still do so? Have you run into platform issues with downloaded executables like I have? What is the best practice nowadays?

I remove my executables and object files.
