I can't bring myself to write "beck and call" because it doesn't make sense to me. It does appear to be the original phrase, but beck also appears to be a shortening of beckon. I paused for a while over the phrase, and I probably should have gone back and rewritten the passage to avoid the issue entirely. I very much like beckon call, but it's not particularly defensible.TEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07765245186357910074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080750207800492571.post-10366404206448725672009-03-16T16:54:00.000-04:002009-03-16T16:54:00.000-04:00Please forgive me for questioning you, since I kno...Please forgive me for questioning you, since I know you really pay attention to these things, but, is it really "beckon call"?Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02739903517626492896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080750207800492571.post-85201503899288917982009-03-16T11:52:00.000-04:002009-03-16T11:52:00.000-04:00You keep posting as many of your Craigslist items ...You keep posting as many of your Craigslist items as you want!

Obviously I am not the only one to suffer these fools. This post was very touching. Poor guy. But he has some real strength too. He cut it off.
