Loaner?
well thats covenient
Hmm…. I wonder wherein her powers lie? Does she still have her genie powers in this body, or do they still reside in her old body which Jeanie must now compete against to pull Marvin away from his wish? Doing that as a “mortal” could be r e a l l y tough! 🙂
it’s honey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD good luck with that jean hahai think i know how this might turn out but that’s just me 🙂
Technically, I believe this would be Brady. Not sure who convinced Heather to let her niece play a rude ex-guy stuck in the body of a little girl, but I suspect Dawnie had something to do with it 😉
I think Jean better decide what she wants to wear to the dance…
“Your joking” should be “You’re joking,” of course.
And it is a very common error among many writers to use “convince” when the correct term would be “persuade.” “Convince” means to _hold_ a belief or position, while “persuade” means to _change_ such in another. (However, the incorrect usage is so widespread that it will probably be considered acceptable in these increasingly permissive days. I am convinced of it… 🙂
I don’t know what you’re talking about regarding “convince” being used incorrectly. I have *never* heard or seen “convince” used to mean “hold a belief”. It has *always* meant “cause someone to believe” or “pursuade”. And, for the record, I have been speaking English since I learned to talk. I have also read a large variety of works, none of which has used “convince” in the way you allege is correct.
Now, “be convinced” does hold the meaning you ascribe to “convince”, but then so does “be persuaded”. (Note the “be” + past participle construction there.) (There is a subtle difference in connotation between the two which I am at a loss to explain, but that seems to be a feature of synonyms in English.)
The difference is so subtle as to be almost non-existant. I think persuade implies action or argument by one person to convince another of something. While a person might be convinced of something without another person’s action or argument. For example, a person might be convinced that the sun rises every morning just from observation. On the other hand, a salesman may persuade someone that his product is better than another.
I think the difference is that you persuade someone to act in a certain way, while you convince someone of something being true?…
If you can now spell sulphur with an f in the sciences then you can probably put convince instead of persuade. The English language is dead, even in England 🙁
What body IS her(?) real body? I think it would have to be Gene. Does Jeanie even remember she was him?
I wondered where the body came from, but I just reallized that Kazom has given her a body based on the poster. Since it’s Melvin’s . . . uh, “fantasy” poster, Jean should have an advantage.
My guess … cliffhanger and back to Neil and the Blue Genie
You are joking = you’re joking
