For my fellow Grammar Nazis Tom Send a noteboard - 23/02/2012 07:12:33 PM
A Facebook friend posted a saying that I think is quite relevant, and shows exactly why it's important to master the English language:

Grammar:
It's the difference between knowing your shit
and knowing you're shit.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

"Coexisting" = "no belief system?" Ghavrel - 25/02/2012 01:10:04 AM 557 Views
Not technically, no, but in my experience that is how it tends to work in practice. Joel - 25/02/2012 08:39:03 AM 656 Views
What? nossy - 25/02/2012 11:46:12 AM 644 Views

What can I say? Keeping it short and to the point was clearly not CONVEYING the point. Joel - 27/02/2012 06:17:14 AM 594 Views

Also, I'm done here. It doesn't matter if we agree, and these sorts of conversations are nossy - 27/02/2012 08:41:13 PM 578 Views
Sorry, but is a matter of both principle and survival to me. Joel - 27/02/2012 10:43:56 PM 574 Views

lol strawman Ghavrel - 27/02/2012 11:01:32 AM 569 Views
I have known lots of people who believe that; some even realize they believe it. Joel - 27/02/2012 02:31:48 PM 610 Views
lol false dichotomy Ghavrel - 27/02/2012 06:46:36 PM 709 Views

Oh, it enters my mind; in fact, it has taken permanent residence there (lol, stfu, omgwtfbbq, etc.) Joel - 27/02/2012 10:21:10 PM 739 Views
Dont quote Nietzsche. You dont understand him. *NM* Urza - 27/02/2012 10:34:08 PM 253 Views
I understand him well enough. Joel - 27/02/2012 11:10:21 PM 601 Views
He did not favor moral relativism and he very much railed against nihilism. *NM* Urza - 27/02/2012 11:13:46 PM 264 Views
If I ask how a grammar humor thread turned into a philisophical debate, am I going to regret it? Isaac - 27/02/2012 11:20:59 PM 564 Views
Joel posted. I think that answers your question *NM* Urza - 27/02/2012 11:27:29 PM 240 Views
Hmm... fair point, I guess it was a rather silly question *NM* Isaac - 27/02/2012 11:43:06 PM 244 Views
Meh and again I say, "meh." Joel - 27/02/2012 11:50:35 PM 626 Views
