The exception proves the rule.
No, the exception does not prove the rule; the exception doesn't follow the rule.

"AH-juh-tive" when they mean Adjective (Ah-JECK-tive)

(Ah-JECK-tive)... that's quite an odd syllable stress, don't think I've heard anyone say it like that before I and everyone I know says [aj-ik-tiv], as shown here: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/adjective

Fair enough, It was more of a mistake because I was trying to draw attention to that syllable I wasn't thinking about emphasis. I say aj-ik-tiv as well, but lots of people (at least the people I know, I live in the south but I'm a Yankee) leave out the "ik" sound in exchange for uh

Oh, so sorry haha. I didn't think of it that way >.<

"I'm gonna boycott(sp?)this game"

So you're not gonna buy a certain game.....who cares?

"I see how it is"

NO YOU DON'T. YOU ABSOLUTELY DO NOT SEE NOW IT IS YOU PRESUMPTUOUS IDIOT. IT IS NEVER HOW IT LOOKS AND DON'T TRY TO TELL ME I'M WRONG WHEN I'M EXPLAINING TO YOU HOW IT REALLY IS OR I WILL EAT YOUR SPLEEN AND FEED THE RESULTING VOMIT TO YOUR PET TARANTULA.

And on a topic; just because the UK owns the nothern half of Ireland, doesn't make any variety of name changes and such to make anything less then Southern Ireland. Frankly, it covers over the same territory.

From looking at this, I can perceive that your argument is just jingoism and national pride. It'd be like if someone told me I lived in Southern Canada. They're not wrong, they're not exactly right but they're not wrong.

His argument is that the Republic of Ireland =! southern Ireland, which is very much true. Northern Ireland constiutes 6 counties in the North of Ireland, not the Northern half of Ireland. The Republic of Ireland is in the north of Ireland, the Irish midlands and the south of Ireland, not southern Ireland only.

OT: England is not Britain. There is no British accent.

In addition, I hate it when people try and end an argument by saying everyone is entitled to an opinion. Ney fucking shit, Sherlock.

If anyone ever included 'In my opinion' in anything I rage a little inside too. By default it's your opinion, you don't need to say it every time you speak.

Looks like you quoted the wrong person there. Let me fix it for you. But yeah, that's exactly my argument.

Anything Shintaro Ishihara says, really.

I guess there's also the condemnation of people to death. Y'know, like the recent comments about Japan deserving the tsunami since it won the World Cup.

No, the exception does not prove the rule; the exception doesn't follow the rule.

You don't understand that statement at all, for the record.

"Like" and "whatevah"

Some of them are ok, but the obnoxious quantity of "whatevaaahh" or "we were like, doing this stuff like when you do that, you know like..." JESUSCHRIST GET TO THE POINT ALREADY.

 

[Cleo Cowdrey]

When people say "Yous" or "yous guys" and when people say "I done that" ergh that drives me nuts.

 

[Sulgoth]

All the positives
'its almost over'
'we're almost there'
and finally 'it couldn't possibly get any worse'

Way to jinx it you smarmy bastards

 

[Pinkamena]

"You can't explain Y, so it proves X" (Usually replace X with God or other supernatural things).

No, it just mean I haven't got all the facts about Y to draw a logical conclusion.

 

[sergnb]

Oh boy here we go.



2. People that are stupid, but think they are clever.

FYI: Most people that claim that other people are stupid are stupid themselves and don't realize it.

Just pointing it out.

 

[AngelOfBlueRoses]

"Great minds think alike."

No they don't. What makes great minds great is that they think differently from other people.

I was going to say the same thing! Man, great minds think alike, don't they?

OT: "In all honesty..." What? Do you lie a lot and thus need to clarify when you're not lying by saying when you're being honest?

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Looks like you quoted the wrong person there. Let me fix it for you. But yeah, that's exactly my argument.

Thanks for pointing that out, it's been happening a lot recently. I've fixed it now, but he still won't receive it. Argument: -100%.

~I don't know if I should say this word or not, but I shall...just to prove a point~

Whenever someone uses the term "fag", it's like the recent comment about the word gay. I guess that's repeating the recent comment, but it was a few pages ago anyway.
I don't like the word because it doesn't even mean gay, it originally meany something else in French, but just like most words in society, people have ruined it...making it mean that a person is stupid, rude, or just shot down your helicopter. I don't play CoD but when I watch my brother the people who play with him say the word whenever they die. Like really, you died. It's a video game, not real life.
That's just my opinion, I'm sure someone agrees though.
(I don't hate CoD, it's a good game for some people, just not my type of game.)

 

[You Can't Take the Sky From Me]

Could you explain what you think the difference between less and fewer is that makes less not a replacement for fewer, I can understand not using fewer always for less but not the other way round, less means a lower quantity, fewer means a lower discrete quantity, continuous quantities include the discrete ones.

4.5 is less than 5 but is not fewer
4 is less than 5 and is fewer.

Also the difference between those examples is that although the and is redundant in and therefore, it is not contradictory is in and but.

Think of a graph, if you could connect the points its "less" if not its "fewer," less is if each point is not an idividual unit. Another way to look at it is if the number of whatever can be divided with fractions its less if it can only be divided by whole numbers its fewer.

So, we've all got those things we hear from time to time that just really annoy the hell out of us. What are yours?

My examples are when people say "Southern Ireland" instead of "Republic of Ireland" because there's no such place as "Southern Ireland", it doesn't exist.

Apart from that, people saying that Ireland is part of the UK are just asking to be corrected, and possibly shouted at for their ignorance.

i actually refered to the southern coast of the republic as southern ireland. rage at me if you dont like it if you want


What triggers my rage are things like:

Why should i read books, they are obsolete, we got wikipaedia and TV.

Why should i learn a foreign language? Everyone else has to learn mine.



I dont actually feel the need to punish those people, because they do it to themselves by missing out on so much in their ignorance, but i still wouldnt care if they would be laying in a pool of blood on the sidewalk

Yeah, I know that the original meaning of it was that the exception in a specific case was an indicator that a general rule was in place such as; "No parking except on Sundays."
