So if the singular of data is datum, is the singular of sheep sheepum? Inquiring minds want to know. (And I have no idea why sheep are on my mind today.

But...but I thought we were talking about Latin word origins, and how to pluralize words?

There's, uh, probably a lot of things you didn't know about lindens. Another, another interesting, uh, lindenism, uh, there are only three jobs available to a linden. The first is making shoes at night while, you know, while the old cobbler sleeps.You can bake cookies in a tree. But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.

It seems to O.P. likes dropping bombs here as well at SLU, then running away with a tail between his legs. If he were truly concerned, he wouldn't have made his first few posts at SLU in a thread about a volatile topic like abortion, or at the least, defended his position here.
A zebra can not change its stripes. Now, on to important topics: would we get in trouble for posting some LOLpets here? Regards, -Flip _____________________

Yes, they should all be banned. Hate lolcats. Occasionally can make me laugh. Otherwise hate them. If I was 100% certain that the person was posting their own picture, and not some stolen cat picture they smashed gibberish onto, then I'd not have a problem. Stolen pictures make my eyes bleed. _____________________

I trekked over here because this nonsense was linked on my forum of choice. Now I recall why I avoid the official forum.
For the record, running to this forum to post about how you're feelings were hurt when you acted with poor form in another community is about as 'EMO' as it gets. Not sure why you didn't expect the result you received, especially considering your crass, indignant and outright inexcusable behavior there. I suggest attempting a little tact next time, otherwise you should be prepared to be called out for your nonsense. It's called personal responsibility, learn it, embrace it, own it. _____________________

YOU'VE SUCCEEDED!!!!!!!!*Freakoout* As opposed with my reaction. I do not go insane, I feel my blood boil. Hunching over. Teeth elongating. Claws growing. Loud growling. Lust for blood, the blood of the posters of the pictures. wait, that might be an insane reaction, nevermind. _____________________

I have spent the last two days exploring a well known unofficial forum, but found the average IQ there to be significantly lower than here. Also, significantly lower than lettuce. Several regular forumites frequent a number of unofficial fora, but you all come back here for the good stuff. Mailing lists would have been a far better answer than this forum... after all, most people know how to use a mail client, but not everybody wants yet another login and have to learn yet another half-retarded, barely usable forum environment... email gives you the functionality flexibility to filter and highlight, plus you can read a mailing list while offline on the train, etc. Try that with a forum... |

I'm too lazy to go across the street. It's fine over there but I can't be hassled.
