Will the $500,000 salary cap provoke at least one bailed-out executive to become an hero?

1. I'm unclear on this ... become a hero on what respect? How?

2. Not "a hero," "an hero."

If you are a sensitive sort, you don't want to know, but if you are not, here's an explanatory link.

3. Hmm ... I've always said "a hero" but "an heroic act"

Regardless, I still want to know what OP means by being a/an hero.

4. *sigh*

"An heroic act" denotes proper, if archaic, English.

"An hero" is Trollspeak for "person who commits suicide."

I'll leave it to you to speculate on what the OP meant, but having observed his or her posts for 8 years, I'm fairly sure it's the latter usage.

6. Duh. I get it now.

The filter at work blocked your website link. I get it.

And I predict YES, one will. Soon, perhaps.

I would never have suspected you hung out on 4chan.
