Woman=singular, Women=PLURAL!

[AlteredEgo]

You know what else got me (if we're not supposed to be discussing grammar, somebody stop me) but CONVERSATE isn't/wasn't a word. I don't remember seeing "conversate" in a dictionary til recently, probably because so many people said it that it had to be made into a word. Hell, bootylicious is in some dictionaries.

Converssssst. ConverssSSsstt. I can't even say it. I can't make myself, marley. That pseudo-word makes me so ANGRY! Was it invented by womben?

 

[AlteredEgo]

Can't believe I missed these!

In the South, isn't the pural of woman: y'oman?? (cf: y'all, y'uns, etc.)

Is no one afraid of spankings anymore?:biggrin1:

but, I was only kidding...*cries*

oh the one that I hate the most is your instead of you're

I know you were kidding. That's why you got a " :tongue: ".

I hate that too, along with their confused with they're or there.

Those are both good ones, but how about

They're instead of their or even there.

Great minds...

I also detest when people forget to use plural (see what I mean?) or used (haha) the wrong past tense.

Yes! Please help me with the spankings. It is time for revolution!

What kills me is when people use big vernaculars out of context

(PLEASE recognize the sarcasm in my misuse of "vernacular")

Your hurting me. (Please recognize the deliberate misuse in my response.)

Vernacular makes me think of spectacular spermacular...

Okay. That's funny. So no spanking shall be issued (unless you want one).

Are we questioning the plurality of women??? :biggrin1:

Oh no. We'd better not be, or the spankings get upgraded to boots to the heads!

 

[Tickled Pink]

YOUR instead of YOU'RE

 

[Lex]

That is all. I'm done. Anyone else have something helpful to add?

Sure.

Data is plural. Datum is the singular. These data. That datum.

Irregardless is NOT a word.

Punctuation IS a requirement for written expression. So is capitalization.

PLZBLEVIT.

 

[DC_DEEP]

YES! This is now banned, and spankings will be inseminated!

Um... excuse me?

Oh, and you hurt my feelings by not specifically enlisting my assistance for the spankings.

It's wemon like you who turn us gay guys gay.

 

[Catchoftheday]

Y?

 

[nicenycdick]

How about confusing "effect" with "affect"? Drives me crazy....

 

[AlteredEgo]

YOUR instead of YOU'RE

It also bothers me when people post in a thread without reading it.

Data is plural. Datum is the singular. These data. That datum.

I know this to be true. It's right up there with fora and forum. I'm so guilty of these sins. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon the time for my own spanking will be at hand. (Yes, but at the hand of whom will it be?)

PLZBLEVIT.

Before someone believes they have discovered irony, allow me to present license properly taken.

Um... excuse me?

It took me a few readings to notice that edit you slickster!

Oh, and you hurt my feelings by not specifically enlisting my assistance for the spankings.

Wait a second: In the dungeon of whom do you believe the vast majority of the spankings must occur?

Y?

Don't make me turn you over to DC_Deep!

I'm so paranoid about this one that I pronounce the two words precisely the same, and always look them up if I have to write one of them down. For the life of me the distinction will not stick!

 

[midlifebear]

How about the use of the word gal? Doesn't that mean your no longer a girl?

 

[prepstudinsc]

In the South, isn't the pural of woman: y'oman?? (cf: y'all, y'uns, etc.)

No the plural of woman is "womenses"--as in "those womenses came a far piece to cook up a mess of fried okra." Now the way that would sound is actually, "those wiminzez came a fur piece to cook up a mess of oh-kree". (And I am not kidding!)

 

[AlteredEgo]

I am going to assume that "your" is deliberately ironic. You get a swat-to-the-tush for not alerting us with a smiley or disclaimer. :tongue:

Gal is 200 years old. If it's persisted that long, I'd say it's an acceptable word. it did, however, begin as the result of a strong accent.

Even better is "your'e" which I see on this board.

I offer these mistakes, as well:

their/they're/there

hear/here

Don't forget the ever popular "masterbate" instead of "masturbate" and "peenis" or "peenus" instead of penis.

I almost want to spell it peenus from now on. Peenus just looks so approachable as a word. LOL

 

[AlteredEgo]

No, that's perfectly on-topic, Kotchanski. Those of you over there who can must fight to preserve your culture and its heritage.

Irregardless is NOT a word.

Oh my lord in heaven how could I forget that one?? And people will say it so smoothly and naturally that you almost miss the fact that it's NOT A FUCKING WORD, especially since it's a double negative. People often do that, add a prefix or suffix to a word to create a whole new one.

A fucking word? Is that something like a verb or what? Over use of the f word is really fucking annoying :wink:

I never said the spankings must occur in any dungeon, my own or any other. I just said I want to participate!

I'm so paranoid about this one that I pronounce the two words precisely the same, and always look them up if I have to write one of them down. For the life of me the distinction will not stick!

I actually pronounce them very slightly differently. If I can come up with a mnemonic for you, I'll post it here.

Hmm, this is the best I can do: A before E; something has to affect (verb) you before it has an effect (noun) on you.

My friend and I had an in-depth discussion about this, the word "fuck" has grown tiresome and lost its potency now that there are videos on youtube of grannies and 2 year olds saying it and on another topic have I mentioned yet my distaste for run-on sentences?

Anyhow, my friend and I tried to find a new/better word to use instead of "fuck" and came up with nothing.

I quite agree nothing is probably the best replacement for the f word in most cases. You could have quite easily left it out of your post without having any effect on the meaning
