I'm Being Falsely Accused

[Cetawin]

hehehehehe of course when you do someting wrong it is your fault but in this case I will agree with you...it is not your fault...it is coming from a bag open somewhere.

Pine shavings dust in my house comes from the open bag too.

I am using a bag of Aspen shavings---much less dust(not that I have cleaned the original dust)

The quote in my sig line is from Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanac, published in the 1700's. Here is a link to over 600 other proverbs from the Almanac. http://www.richhall.com/poor_richard.htm
Benjamin Franklin was quite the man. Maybe it was him that didn't know that noses smell and fish stink.

I've always thought that the principal parts of the irregular verb, stink, were stink, stank, and stunk. So your sentence should be, "..., and the item in mention stank (past tense, not present perfect tense)." since there is no auxiliary verb (has, had, have) being used. ALSO, in your, "... or at least smelled badly.", that should be bad not badly because in that sentence "smelled" is intransitive, not transitive, so it takes a predicate adjective that refers back to modify the subject, i.e., if you said badly (an adverb), you'd be referring to the nose and the way it operates.
People correcting others' grammar is "just one of those things that catches my eye..."

I think that that the proper way of saying it is something has a bad odor and you smell it. Haha I win.
Joe, I'm sure your peat doesn't have an odor, and Buster, I'm positive that your cute clean little ducks are odor free as well.
