01[11:17] {@Threei}  Wal-Mart Stores Inc Comments on expansion of 'Savings Catcher' program
01[11:17] {@Threei}  - Walmart announced plans to rollout Savings Catcher nationwide later this summer. The receipt comparison tool gives the retailers customers added confidence when they shop by eliminating the need to visit multiple stores to find low prices.
01[11:17] {@Threei}  - Savings Catcher looks at other retailers ads and gives customers an eGift card for the difference if a competitors offering is lower than the price they paid at Walmart.
01[11:17] {@Threei}  - At launch, Savings Catcher will compare approximately 80,000 grocery and consumables purchases. In the coming months, produce and general merchandise will also be added to the tool.
01[11:17] {@Threei}  - Nearly one million receipts have been processed using Savings Catcher since Walmart launched its pilot in seven markets this spring.
01[11:17] {@Threei}  - Todays update is just the beginning for Savings Catcher. In the near future, Walmart will offer customers eReceipts and the option to instantly load each of their purchases into the tool automatically finding the lowest price available in their area. Savings Catcher and eReceipts will work together and lead to further innovations like eCoupons and automated shopping lists.
[11:18] {RonS} ...and in 2 years it will be hacked...
01[11:19] {@Threei}  why so long?

01[12:37] {@Threei}  no method works every day. Today it doesn't - no need to make broad conclusions from that
01[12:38] {@Threei}  - General Motors' CEO Mary Barra updated investors on the continuing internal investigation into her company's big recalls this morning. She said probe uncovered a troubling pattern of management deficiencies and neglect, but there was no evidence of a cover-up
01[12:39] {@Threei}  Barra said there could be a few more recall announcements in the months ahead, but that they will be substantially completed by end of the second quarter.

01[13:47] {@Threei}  The victim married her neighbor for love five days ago against the wishes of her family.
01[13:48] {@Threei}  oh I see... having left in 1996, I am more rmoved from those realities

[13:49] {nemo} just asking, then the asshole in me comes out
01[13:49] {@Threei}  just moves wider, dino
[13:49] {nemo} iwm more bang for the buck
[13:50] {nemo} that is unless you have fixed trade costs
[13:50] {nemo} it's very liquid so gappiness, which really isn't a concern of yours, is limited

01[13:52] {@Threei}  Is "Throw me down the stairs my shoes" a good English sentence?
01[13:53] {@Threei}  The answer depends on where you live. Many people in Newfoundland find that sentence perfectly grammatical.
[13:54] {nemo} It's fine
[13:55] {nemo} Not particularly efficient though
[13:55] {nemo} Sherlock said, "Like I said.
[13:55] {nemo} "
[13:55] {nemo} "Like" is a comparison
[13:55] {nemo} He should have said "As I said."
01[13:56] {@Threei}  check yourself nemo: http://www.gameswithwords.org/WhichEnglish/
