How can you say that?! Gher Send a noteboard - 25/10/2012 08:40:20 PM
Moreover, the ball-like object is more egg shaped. :P


Which doesn't disqualify it as a ball, since the definition of a ball is a round object, and any definitions that goes on to mention a spherical shape includes an ovoid shape as well.


The more you know... ;)

Also, on completely unrelated note, you should come play with us again next game, beets running the current one.


Sounds good, NB me when the current game is over. I'll keep an eye out, but I've been meaning to get back to Mafia for awhile, and keep missing the signups.

Do us Yanks use too many British terms? imlad - 24/10/2012 03:28:53 AM 775 Views
I use very few of those terms and thankfully, I'm not a "Yank" or "Yankee" Larry - 24/10/2012 03:46:40 AM 568 Views
I use "bloody" because I've read WoT for years. Dannymac - 24/10/2012 04:41:31 AM 553 Views

Soccer terms and lack of subject-verb agreement are the worst that I notice. Narg - 24/10/2012 05:25:18 AM 610 Views
It' called football. You silly americans and your handegg! *NM* Bergioyn - 24/10/2012 07:32:47 AM 303 Views
There is no disputing that our use of the word football is total nonsense *NM* Narg - 24/10/2012 07:48:46 AM 264 Views
I may be wrong, but I believe it's called a football because it's 12-inches long. Gher - 25/10/2012 07:15:28 PM 607 Views
Using a non-Metric system of measurement is total nonsense. Bergioyn - 25/10/2012 07:51:27 PM 522 Views

I'm an evil European. Bergioyn - 26/10/2012 04:20:57 PM 596 Views
I don't think so. Has to do with its historical origins in rugby football. *NM* Legolas - 25/10/2012 09:17:20 PM 229 Views
Regulation balls are shorter than that, and "gridiron" is an unambiguous international term. Joel - 26/10/2012 11:41:18 PM 514 Views

Bad example. Sheep is both a singular and plural noun. *NM* Narg - 24/10/2012 02:47:34 PM 221 Views
That may be the problem. Joel - 27/10/2012 12:00:49 AM 516 Views

You all need to include some Irish-isms into your daily speech. Stephen - 24/10/2012 08:26:30 AM 600 Views
One British term I agree is horrid when said by Americans imlad - 25/10/2012 06:20:54 PM 579 Views

Affectation almost inherently reflects trying too hard, and imitation is unoriginal. Joel - 27/10/2012 12:10:52 AM 533 Views
