I had green tea recently, trying to detox all the alcohol out of my system and I'm convinced its stewed grass.

Like many other ohsogoodbutohsobad food items, Daisies introduced me to Pieminister. Their mash and gravy is sexual!!

Ha ha ha ha, every time you mention food that's bad for you it's followed by "Daisies introduced me" or "Daisies got me hooked", you make me sound like a drug pusher.

Evening all. Went to immigration with the boyfriend (he knew someone there and to act as a kinda translator) and I MAY be getting a stamp in my passport tomorrow to allow me to leave the country. Now to book the safari and climb!

Just finished my first assignment in an online course I'm doing:D Now to grade 3 research proposals

The first one I graded got a 0/20 for spelling and grammar. He seems to have an aversion to the use of the word "the"

If someone said "the car needs washed" to me I would think they suffered from some sort of mental deficiency!! Words are there to be used!!

In many cases, "the" is redundant.

There are many redundant words in modern sentences.

For example, The car needs to be washed. In this case, the "to be" is clearly redundant, and removing it does not change the sentences meaning.

Ah here, are ya joking? I'll give you this 20 page proposal and you find a place where I put in the word "the" that is redundant!

No way! I always say "the car needs washed". Or "the dinner needs made", "the clothes need cleaned".

It sounds weird and awful
Don't do that

"Pass me butter". Ye know what that means, right? :P

I know what it means, doesn't stop me thinking the person saying it is a bit "special" though!

LEARN ALL THE THINGS*


*it is worth noting that my phone autocorrected "things" to "thongs"

I learned all the things too and made some quick changes to my assignment. Sending it in tomorrow. It better do well this time!

Ilyana 2.0

I tried to learn all the things tonight.

Tomorrow, the learning will be better.

KamiKazeKitten

Y'know, reading all that made me realise I actually pay attention in my linguistics classes :eek:
Technically awecs right I think, you don't need to say the full sentence to be understood.



(It's*) Maybe not the best way to write a paper though :pac:
*see, you understood what I mean without this!

High five, Kitten!

You asked, we listened

I remember I used to leave out "the" when writing German mainly because I could never remember al the fecking genders.

'It's a female dog! Why are we using the male form of "the"?!?'

I hate that languages assign genders to inanimate objects. It's a WORD, it doesn't have feelings, it won't be upset if you call it "it".

The only object I have assigned a gender to is my car :cool:

That's why I chose French over German in school, I just couldn't be dealing with that three genders crap.

That sucks Daisies, I hope you get it sorted soon

If someone would be so inclined, a rasher sandwich would get me out of bed. Kthxbai.

Wellll... Someone I didn't get along with very well but was forced to spend a lot of time with was mad about them. Subsequently...not that mad about them myself. Sorry red pandas

The big black cloud that drenched me at the bus stop this morning has followed me to work. It's gone very dark outside all of a sudden :eek:

D'Agger

Morning all

Won our match last night - put in a good 'ol shift on the wing, worked hard - to the point where both my calves cramped up at the same time. It was up there pain-wise with fracturing my leg I'm not exaggerating

Also looking like I'll be in London this weekend and hence miss the beers....However, I'll be in Dublin for two days in March for training mid week so I'll be holding court in some pub then I'd say
