A Message for Mark Barnes
Okay, I'm sorry if this breaks forum rules but I don't have your email (probably safer that way or I might accidentally stalk you! LOL)
Anyway, today I am working on a final paper for the book of Romans and guess what word popped out of my head, through my fingers, and onto my paper without so much of a second thought!
Did you guess?
WHILST! Yes, I actually used the word whilst! Do you remember me saying some time ago that I am jealous that you get to use that word because I LOVE that word and wished we used it here in America. Well, for some reason it just showed up on my paper and it WORKS. So, it's staying. My professor will probably think I've been watching too much Pride and Prejudice, Downton Abbey, or the BBC channel, but I don't care.
Whilst...it's a great word!

Whilst you are waiting for a reply from the other Mark, I shall take this opportunity to use the word as well. [;)]

I use it here in America - but I am English [:D]
My wife loves it too - but she pronounces it with an extra syllable "while-est" , probably because she's from South Georgia and adds an extra syllable to lots of things [:D][:D]

I like to pronounce blessed as bless-ed, like a double blessing or a noun.

Okay, this is seriously funny, if only because I could "hear" it being said exactly like that.

Is that some kind of corruption of the phrase "Wish List?" Your spell-checker should have caught it. [;)]

Witty response Brad! I wish I could come up with something like that, but wittiness is not one of my spiritual gifts! [:D]

I had no idea that 'whilst' was so unusual in the US.
It's falling out of fashion here, too — so much so that a few months ago I added a rule in my grammar checker to reduce my usage of it!

A little too late to start using it then. All I know is that when it comes to accents, I loved my British ex- girlfriend‘s accent. So cool! The funny part was when she spoke cockney 😁 (the british version of redneck). My other favorite accent is my Argentinian girlfriend’s accent; mainly from Buenos Aires. It’s like having an italian girlfriend that speaks Spanish. My dream girl is one who speaks English with a British accent and speaks Spanish with an Argentinian accent; then I’d be able to have the best of both worlds in one woman 👍😁👌

Mark,
It seems Bible Study Builder might have been rolled out too soon
I tried to search on it and a completely blank windown opened with no search bar or anything
Note to Logos: test these things a little bit (a day?) better - unless (which isn't likely) my internet or computer are blocking API's or whatever is going on behind the scenes.
Thank you - Logos and Mark Barnes fist bump

Did you really intend to revive a 7 year old thread - before Mark was a Logos employee?
There is no search function in the Bible Study Builder nor is there a need for one. The initial input is simply a Bible reference (or pericope name). I assume you are running the beta version with the temporary beta license.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Wrong thread buddy! 😂 You need to start a new thread for this specific topic, not resurrect an old thread for this.

I guess "whilst" is like "useguys"? I lived in Chicago and never did get used to that one... also in Chicago, "Let's go with..." Those two always seemed improper to me... but try as I did, I could not convert anyone to my way of using "Anklish"... lol

The only one I have seen on the forum used this word was Dave, perhaps it is common in Australia.
Blessings in Christ.

You do realize Cynthia hasn’t posted since January of 2023, don’t you? So it’s quite likely she won’t see your suggestion since it’s been almost 2 years. I think she was doing a lot of work with an inductive bible study project she had with Irvin Jensen’s daughter.

No, "whilst" is proper English (the King's lol) whereas "useguys" is actually a Geordie (North East England) term for you plural. Rather like "all y'all" in this neck of the woods [:D]

Scott, can you send a screenshot of the blank document you're seeing? What are the steps you are taking that lead to the blank Bible Study Builder document?

fyi, I saw a blank Bible Study Builder document before I joined the Faithlife group. Don't know if that's the same issue/solution or not.
