This can however result in the same time of day being described by the same person as both early and late, on different days. This I find to be unacceptably subjective;

Ya think people are confusing "Pneumonic" with "Mnemonic" maybe?

I've never seen turret spelled with an N (thank God), but I am tired of seeing "tierd" and "shutter" to mean "tired" and "shudder".

And don't get me started on "loose" and "lose".

I've never seen turret spelt with an N but I hear it an awful lot.

Language-related things that piss me off:

- Welp
- "I could care less"
- lulz
- cat macro spelling and sentence structure

And on that note, I'm going back to bed. It's too early (or late) to be awake.

rofls

I am aware of the consequences of using the 'phrase' rofls in regards to this post - but it _is_ appropriate...

[karlski]

No. What's your point?

[karlski]

Ah, I see how you got there.
