You "spelt" another word wrong, Bacle2, and Under Pressure is a Queen song, not ZZ Topp!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Do you mean the double p? It was part of a joke, re Topp in ZZ Top.

Re ZZ Top, I was thinking of :




Great Song!

Actually, this is a myth invented to "explain" Microsoft's lame attempt at creating a "British English" spell checker.

British English used "-ize" going back to the 16th century. The etymology is from greek "-izein". The "z" changed to "s" in latin and latin-derived languages, which originally did not have "z" in the alphabet (hence "-iser" in french for example).

Words ending in "-yse" come from a different greek root and the "s" is correct.

Never been to the UK, but "The Economist/Economizt " usually substitutes 's' for 'z'.

to keep me on topic...

people who don't work 9 to 5, M-F, with one hour commutes each way, who claim they spent their entire careers "delegating", who ask me, the most rhetorical of queaseons; "What do you mean you don't have time...?"

I will kill them...

I have never met anyone that worked 9-5, it's always 8-5 as the "traditional" workday, with an hour off for lunch. Of course 8-5 doesn't sound as catchy in a song as 9-5.

Just like the title "We are the Ones who Have Won" is not as catchy as "We are the Champions"

Yes, great song, but that song is "Got me under pressure," not "Under pressure," and we have a left-brain consciousness here that demands exactitude...

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The joke's ( my joke, actually) is kind of lame actually, let me spare you. The whole joke is
just that, using two p's , since I used two p's in Topp.

You're right, about exactitude; I am an exactidude myself most of the time, but I need to spend some time vegetating to give myself a break, sorry.

I recently got fired for giving my staff an hour lunch. I am now staff...

Admiral Oliver shared my opinion, but that's way off topic.

I think I'm pis..., uh hum, making myself angry at the moment...

Oh! People that use the word "never", and "always".

They piss me the **** off. Though I have used both words.

They make me angry, too. Every single one of them! Always! Ever!

People who generalize* who make no attempt to think more complexly make me angry. For example, some forum posters are senseless therefore all forum posters are senseless. I am to blame, though, because I was thinking of "hasty generalization"--which is a fallacy--though I neglected to be clear as to what kind of generalization I was attacking. The irony. I was tired, please don't hate me.

*Checked my OED, and it turns out AlephZero was right.

People who take the topic and link it to something mostly unrelated and get up on a soapbox.

Topic: Microwave gourmet dining for one
Person 1: I made this recipe the other night.
Person 2: I made it too, even my kid liked it.
Trolltastic: At least you have kids, Jimmy Carter ate my kids! Keep your socialist microwaves out of my country!
Person 1: Hey Troll, settle down, we are just talking about cooking.
Trolltastic: Don't try to censor me! I have rights!

I hate the fact that people always judge someone based only on the way they act. Neglecting to get to know the person, or their past.

Sometimes, people should put their money where their mouth is.

/end rant

Okay, done! :smile:

Shouldn't people be judged by the way they act? I mean, I don't care if the person used to be the Pope, if he's started murdering people... :-p

I agree, they are terrible.

Very good point there. I guess it just depends on what the person does. I mean if it's a big thing like that, then most definitely. If it's a little thing, then no.

Everyone does judge people by the way they act it seems, even if that person doesn't know it them-self.

People who don't bother to use capital letters or punctuation. I mean, does it really take that much extra effort to hit the shift key?

The unwritten subtext (to me) is: "I want you to figure out what I'm saying but I don't respect you enough to bother composing my text in a manner that's easy for you to read."

I don't even expect proper grammar all the time. But it's clear when someone makes or does not make an effort.

ive never used punctuation online its the internet not a school paper

You should change that habit on this forum then. The rules are very clear that proper punctuation and spelling should be used.

Indeed. The rules apply to everyone. Even E. E. Cummings would be required to comply.

You're just milking it at this point, aren't you?
