For all intensive purposes, "in prompt to" is equivalently the same as "add hawk"

So by me saying "Can you add a sixth phone line impromtu while the phone company is out there?" was not my fault in the communication?

I just wanted to make sure I have been using this word correctly all these years.

that sounds like a retarded way to use that word, no offense. i wouldnt have worded it like that.

edit: that is one of those times where a big word just makes it sound unintelligent.

Understood. I should dumb it down for secretaries then right?

EDIT: PUT A SIXTH LINE IN THERE.

FYI - absolutely everything about my post is wrong, so you calling me an idiot is like putting the carrot in front of the cart.

FYI#2 It's "ad hoc"

Intents and purposes
Impromptu
Ad hoc

Dumbing what you said down would require a roomful of ducknuts working 24 hours a day for a month.

you hold impromptu meetings... you don't install impromptu phone lines

That's ok, this is a time where your ignorance just make you sound unintelligent.

In prompt to != impormptu just like intensive purpose != intent and purpose and add hawk != ad hoc. Mwilding made a funny, not like funny ha, but like funny lol.

Your replies are funnier, like funny "ha-ha!" </nelson>

I use it for that too.

Poor choice on my part using it for phone lines. But my brain must have just used it thinking that it was not a planned situation.

You don't need impromtu in the sentence, it makes more sense without it.

Riiiiighhhht? A parent lee you need to dumb that down for me to understand what you just said.

It was a simple question "Would you eat the moon if it were made of BBQ'd spare ribs?, Just say yes and will move on."

Read what you wrote again:

So by me saying "Can you add a sixth phone line impromtu while the phone company is out there?" was not my fault in the communication?

Do you honestly think that is proper use of the English language - even forgiving the previously discussed misuse of the word immpromptu?
