Rules for "put it on the ground"

Re: Rules for \"put it on the ground\"

Wikipedia happened to be a link that will direct you to further study of the word.

If you are concerned enough to make a comment about something, have enough confidence to say "I stand corrected". that's a simple gentlemen like response.

ok, let me do a brief summary for you about the word you say is used by illiterate ignorant and uneducated people.

it has been used a lot in the north east, primarily Boston. the home of Harvard, and MIT, and a few other great institutions of higher learning. I believe they embraced it for its counter-intuitive depth. You can argue it's a "double negative" but that argument hasn't stood up, and Websters has listed it as a word for some time now.

you can always start your own dictionary. maybe you missed your calling.

maybe you had a bad experience with your own use of the word at some point, where someone called you out the same way you are trying to call me out right now. well, get over it. it's your story. it's just a word. you don't have to use it.

you can use any other combination of words out there to mean "not in spite of" if you so choose.

really, is that what Devry taught you? to go out and try and pimp people with trivial comments? what are you trying to prove here? so, myself and anyone else out here who want to make comments have to be concerned about you editing our comments for grammatical errors? come on. this is an informal forum. lighten up.

this isn't an essay contest.

Re: Rules for \"put it on the ground\"

I apologize, for it seems that your panties have bunched themselves up.


I was merely being funny, or trying to be. I wish to have no quarrel with you.


In re-reading the entire thread, I believe that you have been treated with a great deal of keyboard aggression, and for that I am sorry.

In humble submission, I stand corrected, irregardless of the fact that I am correct, and at the end of the websters definition of the incorrect word it encourages the writer to use "regardless" instead.


I wish you the best TC1, I honestly do. This is not the place for petty jabs and grammatical swordplay.

Lovingly and smilingly,

SZ

Re: Rules for \"put it on the ground\"

if you read them, you will see they are very similar. you must not have really read what I was saying.

i said dropping trees with disregard for other trees, and leaving an untouched mess is not the kind of job one should be hiring on to do. this is what was described in the first comment on the thread. go back and read the first comment.

i have read a few other responses that were quite the same as my own. its all right here in plain english. i am talking about doing a bad job, not doing the "type" of job. i do all types of tree work. i'm far from picky. i take it all. but make it interesting and worthwhile. that's how i afforded to finally buy a truck and chipper, then another, then another.

i don't want to sound cocky, but i have worked hard. i am sure we all have. i think its disrespectful for the industry to talk about sloppy and unsafe work ethics and actually argue in support of them.

puting it on the ground means bringing it down the same way you would any other time, when I have a job and the customer just wants it down I usually try to leave my mess looking organized

TC1 You sound more and more reasonable. As a climber, I'm sure you have thick skin, it will come in handy here. Haughty and dogmatic refered to your saying leaving a mess was the worst form of advertizing, that modern landscapes are too groomed and that stacking brush for ground dwelling birds is the answer to the issue of leaving a mess.... I think I have grasp of where you are coming from, but initially, you failed to clarify and did sound kind of limited in your ability to recognize that leaving a huge mess (minus the issue of hazards)can be done professionally and by a Certified Arborist. This might not be acceptable for you and I can respect that. Others here think differently and I think you challenged their professionalism. I don't think anyone said they would leave obvious hazards. That would be unprofessional I agree. Thanks for speaking your mind and keep it coming!

Re: Rules for \"put it on the ground\"

Normally the people who hire me to "put it on the ground" do so because they want to cut it up themselves, but don't have the ability or know-how to actually put the sucker on the ground first. The last guy I did this type of job for, he's older... 74, he told me that once it's on the ground I can leave. So I dropped the trees and left, leaving him with plenty of smaller stuff to have fun with cutting up. I did cut up the bigger stuff for him though. A while back one guy asked me to drop a big red oak... I was in and out in a half hour leaving a good sized mess. I asked the guy before I packed up though if he'd like for me to at least cut up the big wood. He wanted to do it himself.
