This forum is what it is, and it's not for me.

I have got to move on, where the language is clear.

Bye bye, y'all.

FTFY.

Damn, this thread got nasty really fast...

This is an email I received from a business professional. I was able to decipher it. Eventually. the text of the alternative responses needs to be changed to reflect the more recent language in later alternative responses than the original alternative response you used the later language can be fou...

Great book. The Careful Writer is also decent, and I suggest Garner's Usage Dictionary as well.

I'm no dermatologist, but eating healthily makes a noticeable difference for my skin health and once place I notice it more than others is under the eyes. ymmv.

OMG U GZ R SO NTZ RLY

Make sure you are eating right (enough non-starchy vegetables), consider a supplemental vitamin, make sure you are getting enough rest, and exfoliate gently under the eyes to remove dead skin.

Welcome to the forum!

A Christmas Day engagement is also fairly economical. Get married on her birthday and you will be set. Air tight.

For fear of entering a thread which has probably deviated much from its original topic to something much more general... I think there is room for a gray area here. IMHO, spanking is a valid option. Is if fraught with risk? Yes, perhaps. Do people abuse it? Yes, and that's unfortunate. Should spanki...

Maybe a Simpsons Chubby in Best?

Yesterday, I cracked open my Merkur adjustable, turned it all the way down, popped a Derby in it, and shaved. Today, again. Is it BBS? No, but I get no weeping blood and a darn close shave with what seems to be little to no irritation, even with FOUR passes. Plan forward: Buy more (1) Derbies and (2...

HURD of On-the-spot Recursive Definitions

I'm glad someone noted the irony. Ten points to anyone identifying the author of the original quote (hint: among the many things Mohamed Al Fayed has to answer for, this was one of the most egregious). Google shows zero hits, which means that it didn't happen. :) Wanting to out-curmudgeon :lol:, te...

+1

The genesis of b4, wtf, etc. was wayyyyy before texting. I'm sure someone here will out-curmudgeon me on this one, but I can remember as early as 1990 people using these shortcuts on message boards and in chat rooms. The texting just made it ubiquitous. What I am trying to say is, ROFL is "anci...

How many hairs are in a brush? 1000? If so, one hair per shave per day give you 200 days before a 20% loss in hair volume. I'd probably be concerned, although I might be off on the hair count.

I have a friend that does this who I know can write properly; I think its just one of those online idiosyncrasies people have to indicate informality.
