By dumbing down the language we evolve it? I can see English becoming Newspeak eventually with that thought in mind.Para199x said:
I can understand words becoming common enough ("unfriend" or "sexting" for example through networking and technology) to be added to a vocabulary but come on, forgetting that space in between 'no one' and 'a lot' (fixed for you by the way) is just, I don't know, looks incorrect, and is incorrect from what I understand of the English language. It's just doubleplus ungood.
What is the name of Satan is 'Peaknees'?shurryy said:
OT: How Americans pronouce aluminium as 'aloominum'. Seriously, I know Americans speak
I think its very different, as much as it puts you in the same box as people from other nations (I myself am half English half Scottish and so have no problem with it) it is still correct in definition. As much as I agree with your point if people really do see it that way I don't think thats how the others saw the arguement, that it was just incorrect, which is clearly just wrong.Flames66 said:True, but England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are all distinct places with their own customs, sayings and idiosyncrasies. People from England often don't like being put in the same box as people from Scotland and so on. It's the same reason It is incorrect to assume that all Americans are rednecks, or that all Russians like large machinery.Frozenfish said:People from England are British, in the same way people from New York are American.CaptainTrilby said:When people call people from England British instead of English. I hate that.
That's fine, sorry I bitched out at you. I have trouble smiling at the people I have to serve. This is going to sound conceited, arrogant and stuck-up, but half of them are so frigging moronic that it makes ME look like a genius (which believe me is nowhere near the truth). I'm not just talking about the jokes either. When I first started this job, and since then, I've had to deal with a guy who pisses and moans about how I do things, then brings up totally irrelevant reasons. For example, the first time I served him I started packing his bag. Half way through I went to grab him another bag (as our carriers are quite thin and break easily) and then he just starts cramming it all into the first bag and insists that it's a case of science!Devornine said:
It's not science, it's MATHAMATICS! Area, dimension, weight...
And that's just the time I can think of but he does it every time he comes in.
*breathes deeply*
But anyway, on an update, I've been given a job managing a different store altogether. While it's a smaller shop and I'll be there on my own, the product is classed as a luxury item (fireplaces and surrounds), so we deal in a lot of money per transaction, thus a different class of customer altogether. No more morons, no more being talked down to (well, not so much anyway), no more having to put up with aggrivating management as that'll be my position. Running the shop while the owner and his co-worker go to do the fittings.
As a bonus, I'll be getting a pay rise AND commission on everything I sell. So yea, good times!
That we should love and cherish people with Asbergers, while Socipaths should be shoot or bansihed to a deserted island or imprisoned, or be imprisoned in the place they've be banished to.
I haven't realized it, but I hate, hate...hate when I ask someone how they are doing and they say: "I'm blessed." I always want to punch them right in the face. I don't know why, but it just aggravates me so much.
"Hey! Guess what I just bought. . ."
It really does annoy me. I think it's rude of someone to flaunt what they just got with money in front of someone who's physically unable to. Especially when they go tell you. Every. Single. Time.
Ugh.
Also, "That's just your opinion."
No, that's my reasoning. I have reasoning behind everyone of my opinions, unlike most people.

"Trombone sucks"
I will stab you with the slide if you say that again. Only one person has ever said it, but it instills a primordial hate towards the idiot who uttered that poison. Yes, I'm biased at which instrument is better, or rather who's better at them, but to go ahead and call a whole instrument "stupid" is just asshole-ish.

Anything that might imply the Twilight series is an acceptable form of anything.
Everything that is used as a basis for what makes a good book, Twilight rapes and defiles. Everything from character creation, to atmosphere, plot, etc. It was even poorly proof read and has numerous errors. Which includes a character eating pancakes one minute, talking, then described as back to eating cereal. The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans being in the incorrect geographic location. Not to mention worst interpretation of vampires/werewolves ever (Dracula 2000 is a close 2nd). Anyone notice how only Native Americans are werewolves, racist B****.
I won't start on the movies, same kind of manure, different bag.
