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 782 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 571 Views
I use "bloody" because I've read WoT for years. Dannymac - 24/10/2012 04:41:31 AM 557 Views

Soccer terms and lack of subject-verb agreement are the worst that I notice. Narg - 24/10/2012 05:25:18 AM 613 Views
It' called football. You silly americans and your handegg! *NM* Bergioyn - 24/10/2012 07:32:47 AM 306 Views
There is no disputing that our use of the word football is total nonsense *NM* Narg - 24/10/2012 07:48:46 AM 267 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 613 Views
Using a non-Metric system of measurement is total nonsense. Bergioyn - 25/10/2012 07:51:27 PM 527 Views

I'm an evil European. Bergioyn - 26/10/2012 04:20:57 PM 605 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 231 Views
Regulation balls are shorter than that, and "gridiron" is an unambiguous international term. Joel - 26/10/2012 11:41:18 PM 521 Views

Bad example. Sheep is both a singular and plural noun. *NM* Narg - 24/10/2012 02:47:34 PM 223 Views
That may be the problem. Joel - 27/10/2012 12:00:49 AM 521 Views

You all need to include some Irish-isms into your daily speech. Stephen - 24/10/2012 08:26:30 AM 606 Views
One British term I agree is horrid when said by Americans imlad - 25/10/2012 06:20:54 PM 585 Views

Affectation almost inherently reflects trying too hard, and imitation is unoriginal. Joel - 27/10/2012 12:10:52 AM 539 Views
