Unfortunately, the knowledge may be required at some point in your life.

Fortunately, I will be long gone from this part of the world before that time comes about (and so, won't need it ... with any luck).

Fortunately, you've been stripped of your 'fortunatelys'

Unfortunately, due to futher garden work today burning a huge pile of stuff, I have a very sore throat and eyes (Although I've almost drunk enough cider since that I'm not really bothered)

Fortunately, I do not have access to you for lecturing purposes

Unfortunately, I'm stuck with the unfortunatelies again.

Fortunately, I won't bother whapping you for the misspelling of 'unfortunatelys'

Yeah, I know I can't spell, so I generally don't ever whap for spelling. But that was a grammar related mistake... and I love grammar (Really. I out grammared my teacher. And a dictionary once too [misuse of an apostrophy]*), so that was more my forte. But really, it's like... a 'fortunately' is one thing, right.. Like a proper noun.

Umm, I'll find an example...

If you were on about the plural of a little newborn baby, you'd use the word 'babies' and change the ending. But, say if you were talking about a gaggle of people called 'Baby', you wouldn't change the name, just add an s. It's the same with fortunately, as it is more of a proper noun... thing. I dunno, hard to describe. It's easier in my head when the voices can help me out...

*Jesus, I sound like Xyrael...

Unfortunately, you are wrong.

It would be ies because it's the plural of a noun, not a proper one.

Kilgore Trout · Post by **Kilgore Trout** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 10:16 pm

Fortunately, fortunately is not a noun, so it's moot.

Hunter B · Post by **Hunter B** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 10:25 pm

Unfortunately, I was wrong in that.

BOOYAH

Fortunately, you are forgiven.

Sean Whitton · Post by **Sean Whitton** » Tue Apr 18, 2006 2:31 am

Unfortunately, you're not.

Fortunately, this thread lay dormant for ten days.

Sean Whitton · Post by **Sean Whitton** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 11:05 am

Unfortunately, that is not necessarily a good thing.

Fortunately, adversity builds character.

Unfortunately, I'm going to be doing an evil course next year (at uni) and will have no spare time until I finish the year

Sean Whitton · Post by **Sean Whitton** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 12:56 pm

Fortunately, you can still do some work.

Post by **raptor_bob** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 2:03 pm

Unfortunately, I will have no time for social or monetary work.

Lol ... my first year I spend doing 55-65 hours a week solid study
