It&amp;#39;s pronounced the same way, but it just means the words. Perhaps he&amp;#39;s asking if he can be sent out on an assignment to take some pictures to go with the story.</description></item><item><title>Re: Photo card...</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PhotoCard/zpjbw/post.htm#494116</link><pubDate>Mon, 23 Feb 2009 04:23:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:494116</guid><dc:creator>Feebs11</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PhotoCard/zpjbw/post.htm#494116</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-494116.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Sorry, guys, I missheard. Here&amp;#39;s the correct text: 1: Aren&amp;#39;t articles supposed to have words? (Two hasn&amp;#39;t written anything on her PC monitor).  He is being facetious - she hasn&amp;#39;t written anything,   2: Well, I just start with the best part and work backwards.  She is making a facetious response: I start with nothing and work backwards from there till I have something.   1: Oh. Well my photo card has an equally big blank spot that&amp;#39;s dying to be filled. And I was just wondering if you needed some eye-candy to complement those pros . Well, what does 1 mean? And what is a photo card?  Presumably the card you insert into a digital camera.</description></item><item><title>Re: Photo card...</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PhotoCard/zpjbw/post.htm#494087</link><pubDate>Thu, 23 Apr 2009 03:23:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:494087</guid><dc:creator>RayH</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PhotoCard/zpjbw/post.htm#494087</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-494087.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Sorry, guys, I missheard.

I suppose it could be a term unique to some profession. 1&amp;#39;s second comment (&amp;quot;oh. well...&amp;quot;) just doesn&amp;#39;t make any sense.
