Gotta love discussions about the parts of speech.

Silenia 03-02-2015 02:33 AM

Not sure if serious or sarcasm, but yes, I do. [XD]

Then again, I have a passion for writing, etymology and linguistics, so... [:P]

Amane 03-02-2015 02:48 AM

That wasn't sarcastic. [lol]

Silenia 03-02-2015 02:57 AM

Glad to hear so. It's just that I've heard that sentiment expressed sarcastically so often that I automatically start wondering. [rofl]

Ling 03-02-2015 12:52 PM

Linguistics are soo interesting....and no that wasn't sarcastic. [:D]

Amane 03-02-2015 01:23 PM

*gigglensort* Ling likes LINGuistics. /brick'd

I'm not into linguistics. I just like to get my English right. There have been circles less kind than Mene where I was considered a member of the Grammar Police. I was one of THOSE people. Mene's too nice for that.

I also love learning languages for no reason.

llonka 03-02-2015 01:36 PM

I'll join the Grammar Police! lol.

Silenia 03-02-2015 02:49 PM

Better part of the "Grammar Police" than of the "Fotsolders 0f losy gramer n speling", yes? [:P]

Amane 03-02-2015 02:50 PM

*winces*

One of my least favorites is when someone doesn't know how to use "loose" and "lose."

Silenia 03-02-2015 02:56 PM

I'm a bit more forgiving of that one when it comes to non-native speakers, but yes, that one's annoying.
I absolutely detest the far-too-common misspelling "grammer".

Amane 03-02-2015 02:57 PM

Great responses to that I've seen:
"Leave your grandma out of this!"
"What? Kelsey Grammer?"

Silenia 03-02-2015 03:01 PM

[rofl]
Also, while it's almost always a non-native speaker making that mistake, folks who seemingly can't tell the difference between "bored" and "boring". [XD]

Amane 03-02-2015 03:05 PM

I haven't seen that! However, confusing "bored" and "board" gets on my nerves. [headdesk]

Silenia 03-02-2015 03:11 PM

Also, "alot". Though this little 2010 blog made that one less gets-on-nerves and more [rofl]

Amane 03-02-2015 03:41 PM

THAT IS THE GREATEST THING.

Silenia 03-02-2015 09:51 PM

Oh, and randomly missing commas.
Ran into a few of those earlier today.

As far as I know, "I know me too" is still a way of saying you are somewhat familiar with yourself, not that you agree. [XD]

Amane 03-03-2015 01:30 AM

And that's what I thought you were saying. [XD]

The Wandering Poet 03-03-2015 02:43 AM

Well threadkill sounds like beedrill yes?
They have an ice cream cone pokemon... it needs no logic.

Amane 03-03-2015 08:54 PM

Thread runnin' around saying, "Threadkill! Threadkill!"

The Wandering Poet 03-03-2015 09:16 PM

I guess it would definitely have the skill toxic

Amane 03-03-2015 09:18 PM

THREADKILL USED AWKWARD COMMENT! THREAD FAINTED!

I hope Dae logs on in time to see the seacows.

The Wandering Poet 03-03-2015 09:49 PM

At least I managed a screenshot owo

Amane 03-03-2015 10:59 PM

Keeping count is enough for me. I did get a screencap of me with a seacow placed perfectly above my name.

The Wandering Poet 03-04-2015 03:53 AM

Oh that's cool ^^

Amane 03-04-2015 03:18 PM
