So for example its:

I'm not very good at maths.

If I said:

I'm not very good at math (people here might think I had a speech impediment:p:)

Btw why can't I edit my previous post, as it's written in bad Englishs.

We say Englishs because it covers multiple disciplines.

Language, literature etc. So those three and more. I did well at Englishs.

Less so at Maths though.

It's so hard to tell when people are trying to be funny here though. Like if you don't get a joke that someone made, then that person will get all offended and moan that "IT WAS A JOKE, NO ONE GETS MY JOKES HERE :(" and all that. Then if you laugh at something you think is a joke and then it's not, they get all butthurt about that too. Just what I've seen here.

I think maybe she feels that she has to be careful about what she posts here or how she reacts to things, as if walking on eggshells. Trust me, it's not like that in real life. She is very funny and witty and one of those people that you'd like to be around all the time. I don't think it's cultural differences.

I thought that was a joke too when I read it. It's not? I think that song is older than Kate Upton so it doesn't make sense. See what I mean about joke detection on this website?

You sure about that mate? :laughing: I think you need to take another look. It's kind of like Where's Waldo, but very thinly veiled.

Three quick comments, if I may:-

* Yep, I`d say maths too, the same way I`d say physics. Another word that looks plural but works like singular is the news; "The news is bad, I`m afraid."

* I really appreciate the positive mention, Urban.Thanks :thumb:. The comments you made about other members were very fair,very perceptive too imo. This is borne out by the fact that your post didn`t generate the kind of ten-page wrangling that this thread is notorious for!

* Like almost everyone here these days, Taxman is a friendly guy ready to share his opinions and chat. I for one will be sorry if he leaves us. What`s up,Taxman? If you`re happy here, why not hang around?

I don't think it's about not being happy here. It seems like he is dealing with a lot emotionally in his personal life lately so maybe he's taking some time away to deal with that.

So do Irish people. After all, the full word is mathematics isn't it? So it would be maths.

Also, if you want to do that with English it would be Englishes. Please don't forget the "e" at the end.... ;)

But English is one singular word. You don't hear people say "The Englishs Queen" or "The Englishs team". That's just taking it too far. As far as we on this side of the pond are concerned, it's maths. You can all keep your math: it's not a singular word. Also, I hated maths (!) at school, one of the reasons I got out early.

Well it's an abbreviation so by definition you're going to be leaving letters out. Why not leave out the S, especially since the word is treated as singular in terms of grammar?

I think this sums up the Math vs Maths arg. pretty well:

Math vs. maths - Grammarist

Nobody has any hairs

Don't worry, Paul. To us, you're not a nobody ;)

Stop talking and say something about me.

You are pretty awesome. I like you!

something about me

I like Plankton.

You're clearly biased by his ability to pay attention to instruction.

Plankton became one of my favorite people here yesterday.

I like Plankton too.

God damnit.

i don't really know you but i like that music play thingy you have on your sig..

it's full of the Femmes and that's pretty awesome. :)

God's pretty cool.

Lamp: I love lamp.

If there was a Mt. Rushmore of butts, Circe's butt would be Abraham Lincoln. Roxy's would be Jefferson, Steph's would be Roosevelt, and Vanilla's would definitely be Washington.

yea but the ppl who have the audacity to speak on his behalf are assh*les.

So Circe's would get it from behind in a public place, Roxy's would take it from black dudes, Steph's would end your depression, and Vanilla's would chop down your cherry tree?

All right except Vanilla's has wooden teeth and is high all the time.

I thought that was you.

They are bamboo, I'm on some Asian styles right now.

Wrong Roosevelt. Steph's would charge up your hill.

No, Steph would take credit for charging up the hill when it was really a bunch of black dudes.

:beer:

I think you're all great.

You seem pretty cool, too :beer:

Just wanna say I've seen some new wave of posters the last few weeks and enjoy u all differently. Cheers

is it just me or has the forum got so cringeworthy recently?
I don't want to take part in this compliment for compliment, "I love you internet people I don't know" lovefest.
I find myself coming on here, I feel motivated about music but my curiosity drags me this thread, to the member picture gallery to 'the lounge' for checkups. Y'know, I find the majority of you people interesting, I'm interested to learn about you outwith the music chat.

But when I see the embarrassing posts you leave to one another, I vomit in my mouth and just say f*ck the music discussion, I'm away to Last FM, I'm away to Sputnikmusic, I'll text my friend and talk about how an album affected me.

Drop this "I love you, I really like you" fake tripe. You don't know one another. That's the reality, you know one another's internet personas. The new members are the worst for it. So quick to compliment and asslick those they've interacted with one or two times.
I've got the folk on this forum I respect as people: Big3, Goofle, Urban, WWWP, 216, DJ, Sansa, Fred Hale, etc. But y'all need to build up proper connections or observations with people before you start singing their praises like Oliver Twist pleading for more slop.

I don't know, maybe it's me. But I quite liked the music discussion combined with real edge and animosity that brewed between members
Why should you agree with my fu*cking opinion. Disagree, tell me I'm an idiot. Spit on me.

ugh, stop being so lovely dovey and let's get back to being faceless internet characters who are true to who we are. Desperate souls in need of outlet.

Not even reading over what I've wrote, I'm drugged and it feels right.

Fuck off.


Izzat better?

yh
