♣ 006 [ video ]

Jul 24, 2011 21:05

[ Today, Junpei is wearing a super serious face. Whatever's on his mind, it's got to be deep. ]

Hey, uh, I have something to say.

[ Brief pause as he gathers his thoughts. Brace yourselves for it, Johto; it might be too heavy for you to handle. ]

Have you ever thought about how weird it is that "nonplussed" is a word....but "plussed" isn't? I mean, it ( Read more... )

english is weird, !ic, ♣character: clover, ♣character: seven, &location; goldenrod, #006, ♣character: alexi, handwaving this past conversation, waiting for the inevitable "minused" pun, feeling so plussed right now, ♣character: wally west, ♣character: chosokabe motochika, serious business, ♣character: little mac, thinking hard or hardly thinking

Whoa...

[Mind status: blown.]

Dude! That IS totally weird! ...What does "nonplussed" mean?

[video] hewhosurvives July 25 2011, 06:07:30 UTC

I know, right? And that's not the only weird 'word, not-word' pair I've heard.

Uh, pretty sure it's when you're so confused you can't talk properly, or something.

[video] usedstarpunch July 25 2011, 22:59:24 UTC

It means...

...

S-So, would being "plussed" be being not confused? Like, if it was a thing? Then, people would be plussed most of the time...Or...no, wait...

Hold on.

Dude.

Whoa.

Yeah, I guess so! Like, when you're unaffected by something, you can be plussed.

[video] usedstarpunch July 26 2011, 14:18:40 UTC

So like, you're plussed when you just stay normal...?

Man, it makes ya wonder just what guy is makin' up all these words that don't make any sense.

[video] hewhosurvives July 27 2011, 06:37:04 UTC

Well, nonplussed started it...so I guess whoever writes dictionaries?

[video] usedstarpunch July 28 2011, 23:44:21 UTC

...Hey! Maybe the guy was just lazy! Y'know? Like the guy figures "Nobody'll notice! There's a ton o' words in there already!" and doesn't bother to write the other word in. What a jerk!

[video] hewhosurvives July 29 2011, 04:47:35 UTC

So you think that there are a bunch of words missing their matches because someone was lazy?

[ Contemplating this... ]

Makes sense to me. We should write them an angry letter or something, though. You know, to tell them that these other words deserve to be included, too.

[video] usedstarpunch July 29 2011, 06:05:26 UTC

Totally! Not to mention, it's a total rip!

I mean, you buy a dictionary and the word you need ain't even in there 'cause some dude decided it was too much trouble! Geez, these dictionary guys are wicked lame...!

[video] hewhosurvives July 30 2011, 05:06:55 UTC

And then when he corrects it, he makes even more money because you've got to buy the new one....man, this really is messed up.

[video] usedstarpunch July 30 2011, 07:45:47 UTC

Dude, you're right! Dictionaries are a total scam!

I'm never buying another dictionary again, man!

[video] hewhosurvives July 31 2011, 01:52:32 UTC

Yeah. I don't know if I can ever trust another dictionary ever again...

[video] usedstarpunch July 31 2011, 04:00:30 UTC

Same here, man...I mean, if they're too lazy to put in words, how do we know the words in there are even right? For all we know, they could just be makin' stuff up!

[video] hewhosurvives August 2 2011, 03:16:07 UTC

...Aren't all words made up to start with, though?

[video] usedstarpunch August 2 2011, 03:50:28 UTC

...Oh, yeah. I guess you're right!

Still think dictionaries are a scam, though.

[video] hewhosurvives August 4 2011, 01:16:30 UTC

Can't blame you there.
