Wheeeeeeeee! It's Friday. (Well, it is here.)

Now Jig can start another thread and the batty old Prof can eat his prim horns!

5244 Views in a week - that's excellent. Well done people! :D


Later on. Nighters.

But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.

I agree Gabriele - and I love regional 'sayings' to begin with. To me they are all valid, if they are what people use.

/me imagines this just set Pep's hair on fire. ;-)
I have found that when people say "that's what *we* say around here" they are generally covering up their own personal or family misapprehension in the face of an unwanted and justifiable challenge. My Dad (whose hearing is not great and whose ability to mix metaphors is admirable) occasionally attempts to promulgate such nonsense, but my family laugh at him when he does so, and point out his errors of perception. He also believes everything he reads in the papers or sees on the news on TV, poor thing, which wouldn't be so bad except he insists on trying to convince other people. Just because the BBC is usually grammatically accurate doesn't mean even its content is factual. :eek:

Pep (these sort of things do not anger me; rather I feel pity and a little contemptuous for those who do not realise that not revising their errors once they are pointed out renders them the subject of scorn and ridicule, privately or publicly. :( )

Extrapolating from your experiences does not necessarily make you right either.

I find your judgments to be about as accurate as Jig's are generally. I find it sad that a person is so preoccupied with such things he really doesn't have anything else to say.

There, there, Pep....don't you worry your little head over this for another minute....most have taken their pity, scorn, and ridicule for the errors privately, so as not to further contribute to a weak emotional state. Watching someone unravel hysterically into a blathering, feeble-minded schmuck.....well, it's just no longer necessary to point that out in public.

Have a Nice Day. :)

I think someone said that to Einstein, too. ;)

I can't say I have noticed you putting up counter-arguments against my judgments; not unemotional ones, anyway. I suppose, like Love, you are going to say it's not worth it, because you have no coherent explanations. :p

I say a lot more about a lot more.

Pep (You may consider my pointing out the inaccuracies of others a bonus. :cool: )

PS Mickey: the day will never arrive when you can tell me what is necessary or otherwise in a comprehensible fashion. :rolleyes: and I didn't think *you* unravelled; I thought you started off as a "blathering, feeble-minded schmuck".

Pep, meh. Opinion shmopinion.

Shakespeare believed in creating new words. Language is dynamic.

You believe differently than I do about this. That is fine with me.

Language is objection-oriented, dynamically bound, but it's not garbage-collected.

Oriented is a perfectly acceptable alternative to 'orientated.'

I'm throwin' down, Daniels. LOL

(This has been discussed on the forums before)

Is that an advance copy of 3Ring and Eli's official wedding photo?

Was that another one of those "accurate" judgments? Ummm, nope, doesn't seem to be :p
