Your subject poster is in Chicago, where the motto is 'Vote early and vote often'.

How is that <object>? What do you want to know, it all depends on your missing object. A partial list of plausible objects to choose from are:

• done
• possible
• fair
• reasonable
• ethical
• rational
• prevented
• encouraged
• relevant

For the sake of pure and simple logic, "How is that?" seems to be a perfectly acceptable question.

The key word being, "How." One of the fundamental "question" words I remember from my mis-spent youth. In its purist form the word "how" by itself is a question. That being, by what form does something occur?

I can think of many questions where the definitive is implied:

Who is that? (person)

What is that? (object)

When is that? (event or time)

Where is that? (object or place)

In each case, the implied definitive is taken from context and/or previous statements (such as is the case with the OP).

Disagree? How's that?

-A-

You miss my point. "How is that?" is a grammatically correct question. It does not require an object for proper grammar. The missing object specifies the nature of the enquiry. I was looking for the OP to clarify their question.

Thanks.

In today's forum, it would be inconceivable, but this was one of the better challenges that had enough wrinkles to run to three pages.

In today's forum I've seen GA votes disappear from some posters, not that it matters, there have been some totally illogical GAs and some undeserved OTs to the point that they are pretty well meaningless. _{Not that I want to look your gift horse in the mouth.}

It's just crazy around here. Why, if I had a nickle for every GA that got turned into an OT......................

And that's just the work of the mods.

Humo(u!)r, the fact that some people don't care about ratings from someone they may never meet in real life, and the fact that different people apply different reasons both for granting a GA rating or an OT.

I gave you one!

Now I am troubled. I think this is really a good answer, but what am I doing with the other one I just gave for fun to make an example?

Shall I vote OT to negate GA or shall I leave it?

Oh heck, whatever . . .
