That sentence is one of the most discouraging of all. Attage?? Then they put a comma in the middle and finish it off with the ol' reliable apostrophe to form a plural. I'd hate to have to try to read a whole paragraph of this.

A comma preceded by a space, no less.

I come to this forum board about once a week for a good laugh. You know, things are only funny when they are true.


Take this "I can't take it anymore" as a very, very, funny place to hang out.

And you do understand the attage "DO as I say , not as I do !" ?

I've cued a few people in to this forum.

Or is that queued? Kewed?

I think "cued" is probably correct. The verb "to cue" means to prompt someone to perform or participate at the appropriate time.

More broadly, this accepted idiom could be the context of the sentence:

Idioms
10.
cue (someone) in, Informal. to inform; give instructions,

Although it is also possible that the speaker meant "clued", which in this sense, has practically the same meaning.

I agree.

As in "clued him in".

I believe that phrase was coined by Wally Cleaver.

Oy.

After reading a comment in another forum from someone who desired a, "change of pace", I recalled something that I heard a woman say--on multiple occasions--many years ago.

Instead of, "change of pace", Nancy used to say that she wanted a, "change of paste".
Like so many people nowadays, she simply parroted something without having any clue as to the actual meaning of the words--or, obviously--the correct pronunciation.
