Not enough people know this, but when you say "etc" out loud in reference to the directory, it is supposed to sound like "etsy".

I expect there will be people who reply to this comment to argue it should be "E-T-C" or "Et Cetera". You can ignore those people; they probably say "exclamation mark" instead of "bang".

You should go, say, six months, in which you never use “suppose” in the passive voice. Whenever you feel the inclination to say “it is supposed...” or “you're supposed to...”, force yourself to rephrase your sentence in the active voice. This requires, of course, that you find a supposer, and name him. At that point you will discover what it is you're really trying to say.

Not really a big difference in meaning or tone, if you ask me.

>>IvyMik+T51
You didn't use “suppose”.

Can't you just tell me what you suppose [1] I was "really trying to say"? As it is, your point is over my head.

[1] Ha!
