[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 824606, member: 17969"] BIGUNIONGUY, I dont know if you understand that simply reading a sentence makes you an expert, but understanding language is a different animal. While I appreciate your efforts, let me snuff out your theory in one quick step. You quoted: "[B]If the leave is not foreseeable, the employee shall submit the written request as soon as possible, and shall include an explanation why the leave was not forseeable."[/B] One problem with your theory other than you are wrong. In this sentence, it contains whats called a CAVEAT, and that CAVEAT is this: "[B]and shall include an explanation why the leave was not forseeable."[/B] In this case, the WORD [B][U]FORSEEABLE[/U][/B] plays the most important part of the sentence. The driver involved KNEW, had KNOWLEDGE, EXPECTED and with full understanding, anticipated being arrested at some point because he failed to complete his community service. Therefore, it cannot be UNFORSEEN. Nice try, but no cigar. Leave of absence can be used many ways, but getting out of an arrest while on duty isnt one of them. If he had no idea there was a warrant for his arrest, and for some reason a warrant was issued without his knowledge, then THAT would be [B]UNFORESEEABLE.[/B] This is why the word UNFORSEEABLE is used. By definition its explained: Etymology [URL="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/foresee"]foresee[/URL] + [URL="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-able"]-able[/URL] [B][[URL="http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=foreseeable&action=edit§ion=3"]edit[/URL]] Adjective[/B] [B]foreseeable[/B] ([I][URL="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary#comparable"]comparative[/URL][/I] [B]more foreseeable[/B], [I][URL="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary#comparable"]superlative[/URL][/I] [B]most foreseeable[/B])[LIST=1] [*]able to be [URL="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/foreseen"]foreseen[/URL] or [URL="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/anticipated"]anticipated[/URL] [/LIST]Words can be fun, but not when your wrong. Peace. [/QUOTE]
