I want to thank you for sending me that list. I completely forgot about it. My mistake.
Can you ever forgive me?

Ohhhh, I enjoy winning awards...... Although I live very far from my roots in Michigan, I feel a special afinity to those people who come from the midwest. No forgiveness needed.........Have a very special day and thank you for acknowledging me.

Always happy to recognize someone who does something special. A lot of people do not go to the trouble anymore.

This site has so much potential, but few people test the waters and try to write their thoughts in e-prime. I have a formule that works to make e-prime easier in writing. If you or anyone else has an interest in this formula, I would feel happy to share it.

I'm interested in your formula. It is sometimes very difficult to express yourself with just the right words.

Karen

Thank you for your interest in what I consider a great formula for writing e-prime, (especially in memos). Begin with a time frame, followed by the subject + verb + where, why, how or when.

To write in non-memo form, remove the time frame and follow the remainder of the formula. Hope this formula makes your e-prime writing process easier.

Works great for me Karen. BTW which part of Michigan do you hail from dear?

Karen

I grew up in Oak Park and graduated from Wayne State. Started a direct mail company in Clarkston and moved it to Houston, Tx. where I lived until 1987. Met my 'now' husband in Houston and we moved to Karachi, Pakistan where we married and continue to live for 20+ years. We started a consulting, coaching and training organization 20 years ago. You can check out our website at: Gulfstone Training
Imagine, an Oak Parker ending up as far away as Karachi...........

Karen has suggested a good formula?

Karen

Dear Chinmay, thank you for your kind words. Good to see a new face on e-prime.

Chinmay

Thank you, madam.I read your foreword in the book 'E-prime part III'.I felt it very interesting.
You lived in Pakistan?Then, I suppose you understand Hindi or Urdu?

Karen

Can you send me a copy of this book so that I can see what you read? What did you find most interesting? I have an adequate understanding of Urdu, but not Hindi.

Chinmay

They differ in script only.Urdu uses its own script whereas Hindi uses the Devanagiri script.Other than that, there appear some minor differences as well.
