The Women's Forum of America presents/present ...

I think either verb can be used. Am I correct?

Many thanks.

Yes, either could be used. Treating Women's Forum of America as a singular noun (WFA presents) would be more commonly an American usage, whereas treating Women's Forum of America as a plural noun (WFA present) would be more commonly a British usage.

And if you ever call Setanta by the name of Roberta again, well, there is going to be hell to pay.

Don't worry about it, YL. My response was serious, and Gus' response was serious when he said that he concurs--since then, we've been indulging a little (accent on little) humor.

I'm still gonna get him, though.

Gus is a coward. He is always holding a pole. He may use it on you.

Uh... Gus is not a coward and that's not a pole - it's a pitchfork and has two uses - one is to poke people with it, and the other is to keep himself upright (notice I didn't say "erect" because that's another story) because he's so old and decrepit. That's why he has to use the pitchfork to hurt people - he's not physically able to any damage. Mentally, either, actually. That's why we're all so fond of him.

Fortunately, Gus is not senile.

Thanks for coming to my defense, Mame, as I would come to yours, but, in the future, would you dabble in coherency? Appreciate it. Love ya like a sister.

Ya hear me, girl?

As far as that Young Liat character goes: I've had it! I bend over backwards trying to help that son of a bi -- bastar--- cocksuc--- punk ass (whew! I can get this one by the hamsters) and how does he/she repay me?

BY RIDICULING ME IN FRONT OF MY FRIENDS!!!!

There will be no more Chinese lessons. The translations are a thing of the past.

I hope Young Liat is savaged by Communists. May god have mercy on his/her soul.

Who did you curse me? You want me dead. And God have mercy on my soul. I'm a Buddhist. So Buddha will always protect and look after me in life and in death.
