<about vs. aboute>
Dub: I lurk on this thread all the time, too. Ya gotta be kinda careful, though, 'cause these thread take's it's english real seriously. Which is chilly. otherwise We'd all be talkin' like those dudes with the big heads on 'Mars Attack's". It's kinda like the Drug War, only worse. Plus, ya got the punks that are goofin' on purpose. My empirical favorite of all time: My wife and I are in a restaurant in Arizona. She, (my wife), wants some toast, (which is not an overly bold desire if you're sittin' in a friggin' reataurant, right?). The waitress says, "We aint got no toast at all." To which I immediately replied, "Most excellent, waitress person! We shall take two side orders, with real butter if you please, and a hearty thank you to you!" Shorted her out for about 15 seconds. (I wuz in a bad mood; I usually don't make a big deal out of beatin' some poor woman up that's just tryin' ta make a living and feed the kids.)
Now I'm gonna start lurkin' again, so you regulars aint gonna have ta beat me up at all. And (seriously) thanks for keepin' the language pure. or at least tryin'. :o) pete |
