Anybody Know The Difference

Between:

Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine: Expert Consult Premium Edition - Enhanced Online Features and Print (5th Edition 2010)

And:

Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine: Expert Consult - Online and Print (Principles & Practice of Sleep Medicine (Kryger)) (5th Edition 2010)

The top one costs alot more at Amazon than the one below, but I'm confused about the difference. They have different ISBN's.

You are so cute with your books and your charts and other such nerdy things.

What a charming way to "bump" a post.

I ended up ordering the cheaper one, since "enhanced" online features aren't my bag. Paper is my métier (or "wheelhouse", as they say at work).

I for one am glad for online dictionaries, cause I'd have worn a paper one out just reading your posts! I used to think well of my vocabulary, but am I the only person who never heard or read the word metier?

I've seen "métier" but never heard anyone say it! But then, I've never been to France.

I'm still trying to figure out "wheelhouse!" LOL!!

Since cloudy put that in quotation marks, I guess he meant his co-workers were mispronouncing "wheelhorse" -- the one(s) hitched closest to the wagon. The ones that do the heavy duty pulling.

Kathy, your vocabulary and writing skills rock. I've always been impressed with your posts. You "wheelhouse" of cpaptalk, you!

The gas company sends a metier reader out once a month in our neck of the woods. Also, I believe astrolonomers use the word metier when they get tired of using the word asstroid.

Wurds... The moor we use 'em the gooder we get with 'em!

ROTFL!!!!

"Crazy people... I'm on a message board with crazy people..." and lovin' it.

Well, I've been to France and never seen métier used before. In fact, I don't even know how to type "é" (I cheat and copy/paste). We do get métier readers here once a month too. In fact we get them to read all our métiers! Seems to be going around.

As I am really "Mr. Word Person" on another board, I can confirm that "wheelhouse" is a correct and oft used sports metaphor.

"The Wheelhouse" is the spot where the quarterback has thrown the puck into the bullpen, hitting nothing but net.

Brain-dude, you really need to start more threads around here.

As for "métier," it may help us if we use it in a sentence, such as: "When the métier-reader visited the forte, he wore his strong suit." I prefer to use the word "thing," myself, as in 'not my thing.' "Thing" is such an underused word.

And does anyone know how much NotMuffy is charging to rent not-his/her space?

"Métier" was invented by Darwin in his Theory of Creativity ("Mix 1 part métier with 2 parts anti-métier, bake in a 374,272 degrees K oven for a million years. Serve with a Mérlot."

Does it really métier?

BTW, thanks for that.

I must have cleaned my screen a million times.

Well, I don't no where that word came from.

Sew I ran it threw my spell checker.....
witch Eye trussed very much...
because it pours o'er every word and
even uses it in a frays.
I was reel glad two no that it is plane lee,
not a proper word.

Bee fore wee rote with checkers
Miss Steaks like this were come on,
The checker marks four hour revue
things thee aye kin knot sea.

It just shows how a pea sea freeze up
lodes of thyme when eye rite,
their are know faults with in my cite....
or at least nun that I am a wear of.

Hope this helps.
