Musicgold  +  507310 Tue, 29 Apr 08 10:06 PM Hi,   Is the following sentence correct? How can I improve it?   The web site launch is tabled for launch on this Friday.   Thanks,   MG. Musicgold Joined on Sat, Jul 14 2007 Full Member 279

	Avangi  +  507322 Tue, 29 Apr 08 11:07 PM "Tabled" would often mean "postponed."  In Robert's rules, when a motion is being considered, a member may move to "table" it. If that motion carries, all discussion of the previous motion ceases, if I remember correctly.  It's used in less formal situations to mean "let's put it on the back burner." Another word for your sentence might be "scheduled." Did you mean to imply the date was tentative?

	Musicgold  +  508336 Fri, 02 May 08 04:00 AM Avangi, Thanks. May be I did not hear the speaker correctly. Before posting the question , I had googled the phrase to see sentences using that phrase, and the use was not very clear to me. Just now, I found the following sentence. I think 'tabled' in the second sentence mean 'postpone' 1. The 1997 State of the Parks Report was tabled today in Parliament. 2. Issues that threaten to consume too much time should be tabled and dealt with at a later time  Thanks, MG. Musicgold

	Clive  +  508344 Fri, 02 May 08 04:19 AM Hi, In some legislative assemblies, 'tabled' means 'brought up for immediate discussion'. But in others, it means that discussion is postponed. In other words, it depends on what country you are in.

	Ant_222  +  508403 Fri, 02 May 08 09:58 AM Anyone thought from which noun this verb originates — table (as "logarithm table") or table (as "oaken table")? Ant_222 Verbs, Nouns

	Clive  +  508458 Fri, 02 May 08 12:31 PM Hi, Anyone thought from which noun this verb originates — table (as "logarithm table") or table (as "oaken table")? I'm sure it's the latter. The verb form simply refers to placing something on a table, often for immediate discussion or occasionally because we want to talk about it later. Best wishes, Clive Clive Verbs, Nouns

	Ant_222  +  508580 Fri, 02 May 08 04:16 PM Oh, thanks! I thought it could be some kind of schedule in the form of a table, like: 11:00 — WakeUp 12:00 — BreakFast ... Ant_222

	Yankee  +  508582 Fri, 02 May 08 04:23 PM  I've never associated the verb 'to table' with that sort of 'table', Ant.  I agree with Clive's assessment.   Yankee Joined on Sat, Apr 15 2006 Connecticut, USA Veteran Member 6,506 Amy "You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus." - Mark Twain Verbs
