Shrug.

Frownland 03-23-2018 12:37 PM

...do you know who Andrew Jackson is? I guess it's not exactly fair to expect you to know, but it's still surprising.

One of your democratically-elected leaders, I believe? Don't ask me which one, but somewhere in the first twenty or so? Maybe....

It's certainly not beyond the bounds of possibility though that this guy could just have had the same name. I know very little about AJJ.

Frownland 03-23-2018 02:08 PM

The order no matter tbh. He's the president that's on our 20 dollar bill. He also played a huge role in our most successful genocide.

A convenient lie. No one does that or even thinks about it, even grammar Nazis. Thankfully language is always evolving, and this stupid rule is being evolved out of the language.

Frownland 03-23-2018 04:42 PM

Maybe one day you can get on my level and be conscious of the words you say.

The Batlord 03-23-2018 04:46 PM

I'm conscious, and honestly think about it every time I talk about bands and have to worry about plural vs. singular tense, and choose to go with my common sense rather than a stupid rule that makes English sound ****ty.

Cuthbert 03-23-2018 04:51 PM

I go with common sense too, that's why I use the singular.

Frownland 03-23-2018 07:35 PM

Seriously. I should do a guest post for them.

"Your welcome"

Don't even try to be nice if you're not going to write right.

A couple of things...


Watching a documentary the other day, a guy in prison was complaining about how his civil rights were being violated.

As far as I'm concerned, the second you stepped outside the law, you forfeited your civil rights.


The other thing has to do with football.

When someone picks up a first down, they jump up and signal first down. It's a small thing, but it is a form of showboating.

If I ran the show, that would be an automatic loss of down. Not your job to signal first down, it's the ref's job.

Jump up and signal first down? Nope, sorry, second down.

Spoken like a honky that will never run for a first down.

There's no part of that sentence I understood. :confused: ****ing American Football! No, I won't! We had it first.

I watched that crazy Irish football game y’all play on youtube or something where it’s like two towns gathered up every inbred alcoholic and they rip each other’s balls off. I think y’all have been doing that for like 3000 years so yeah, you win. Not because of your hopeless soccer, though.

Not since 1982, anyway.

And I probably should have clarified I was writing about American football.*




*On a side note, I like rugby waaayyyy better than soccer.

I just read a murder mystery that starts off with that event. Two of the older players break off to do battle on their own & they discover a body on the egde of the woods.

I can't remember the title, though.

GAA, yeah. You don't know what a bowsy is, but basically a lunkhead. So, the saying is that rugby is a gentlemen's game played by bowsys, football (soccer) is a bowsy's game played by gentlemen, and GAA is a bowsy's game played by bowsys. :) (Pronounced bough-zees)

I think that saying is the other way round.

Yeah, it could be. I couldn't quite figure out the football/rugby thing. The last part though is right, and it's the point of the saying. GAA. Gotta love the old gaahh! Not that I do.

You ever played it?

Looks like football but you just drop kick the ball into the goal?

Never played it. Basically rugby, football, Australian Rules all in one, with a good old punch-up thrown in because Ireland.

You probably already know but it’s programmed to remember the things you type and over time a program that was meant to be intuitive picks up weird typos that for whatever reason you’re prone to repeat.

I’ve also found that if for some reason one time you wanted to write “chiner” for whatever reason and kept going back to correct the autocorrect it overcompensates in the future.
