This comment, if we are being pedantic, is more immoral than the comment in question on another thread, in my opinion. no?

I know that, lad, you were just going "whut happened?", which is a very different thing; I'd probably be the same myself.

We weren't being pedantic, we were being human ... and unless her daughter is doing her LC and frequents the forum, the answer is probably "no".

That said, it isn't especially nice to cheer at anyone's death, and there are plenty of places on Boards where it will be discussed ad nauseam ad infinitum without needing to re-do the job here.

Google translate is no use to me it seems... :rolleyes:

Lol, not sure how good it is on Latin tbh.

ad nauseam ... to the point of nausea

ad infinitum ... to infinity; without end

Normally used as a combined phrase to denote something which continues endlessly until everyone is sick of it.

See, you learn something new in the LC forum every day! :pac:

I thought it was fairly obvious, it's practically in English!

Fair point.

So much of English has Latinate roots, either because the words were imported directly from Latin or because they came into the language indirectly through Norman-French, that we can often make a good guess at simple Latin phrases and sentences.

The other primary source for English was the Germanic dialects of the Angles and Saxons who were the last main wave of immigration into England before the Normans (hence why you will hear the adjective "Anglo-Saxon" often applied to something or someone English).

If you close it you won't be able to activate it again.

You can't just leave us, then come crawling back and expect us to take you back again simple as that :pac:

You could just use willpower! :pac:

Or change your password to something you will never remember like sk8hgzxcv5463zfd3gh54zdf, write it down and give it to a parent / adult to keep safely for you. (Giving it to a friend may not be a good idea as they may decide to have fun with it! :pac: )

Prodigious you're some pathetic fool stop your sly digs or I'll make Spurious infract you. But in all seriousness I reckon I need to get off this and start working! I won't deactivate the account but im done commenting unless its of direct productivity for me.

Nice. Best of luck with that.

Banned for three days.

Let me be blunt, gentlemen: both of you need to cut out the sniping and sarcasm, towards each other and others. The mods are certainly tired of it, and I suspect many of your fellow users are as well.

Fair enough Randy. Apologies if I annoyed anyone!

Thanks Randy, perfect! You might just let the LC heads on the off topic page know I will be gone for 3 weeks! See you all then and good luck to them in the orals!!

Just Like Heaven

Prodigious

Yeah but sure this was a while back:
