I found a fairly cool quotation about Mavericks…

[Valar M]

You all know that a Maverick is an unbranded cattle. But….

As a noun the term has come to refer to any living creature, human or otherwise, that goes its own way rather than acting as part of a group or herd.

Welcome to not being a part of the herd

We're in a herd. It's just a different, smaller herd.

By the way, did you have April Childress for an English professor in college? She was a stickler for saying something was a quotation not a quote. As a noun, a quote is what someone gives you when pricing a job (ie The builder gave me a quote of $2000 to fix the roof); but a quotation is what someone said or wrote (ie "I found a fairly cool quotation about Mavericks..."). Most people would say, "I found a fairly cool quote about Mavericks," but you said it correctly. Nice.

"Nice." is not a sentence. LOL

"Nice." is not a sentence. LOL

But if you do this, it can be an exclamation.

Nice!

The herd is getting a lot bigger now that Ford realized they have a winner vehicle on their hands. Seeing more on the road all the time.

Thanks above that spell check didn't change "Grammar" to "Slammer"!

Johnny's teacher came to the house when her note on his dismal performance wasn't returned, and Johnny answered the door.

"May I please speak to your mother?" she asked.

"She ain't here."

"Johnny!" she gasped. "Where's your grammar?"

"In the kitchen bakin' cookies."
