Public Service

[ronaldburgundy]

I "love" when people add quotation mark's to "random" part's of a "sentence" as well as use "apostrophe's" incorrectly. Their is "nothing" that annoys me more then when people confuse there "different" kind's of they're verb's.

Reading that sentence was more painful than being shredded to death by your claws.

To be fair, quotation marks are sometimes used to show irony. In Sandra's horribly catty passive aggressive public service sign. We can deduce that she is probably uncomfortable with her own weight and suspects her coworkers of bulimia. She espouses vomiting as a big job, then perhaps uses quotation marks to soften the blow and maybe appear hip or down with the cool girl bulimic crowd?

more public service announcements and inappropriate use of quotation marks from Sandra...hey, it's a slow sunday full of honeydos. Who's bringing food? ;D

[biglloyde]

Take Scuppers. Or even Leviosa, Kearn, BigLloyd(we love you man). 99.9% sprint is used in an offensive manner, engaging us before they go down, and killing us as well.

hahahaha, for some reason this made my day (even if it means some of us are easy inf.). Thanks Thunderbow

[ThunderbowStormshard]

bah who cares if it can be easy infamy. I'd rather fight you a hundered times over if it means you stand and fight.

[Ulaith]

P.S. /hug Ulaith for lagging so much

lol yup I lag horribly in a keep with 24+vs24+. I'm pretty sure alot are aware of this now lol. I prefer smaller fights but if raid fights are all that's happening then they'll have to do.

/hug creepraids that like to make me one of their first focus targets
/hug freepraids who do the same to my Warleader
/hug Rabies for stalking me till stun immunity wears off to pounce me and run away
/hug Morbidi for freeps hating his warg, he needs all the hugs he can get

[Leksi]

You all needs hugs IMO. I've spent the entire weekend catching up on yard work, reading, going out to dinner, putting a pool up, sun soaking, getting frozen yogurt, margaritas, pedicure, manicure, facial, and mud wrap with my mother. It was the best weekend in years.

/hugs to my mother, who often reminds me to stop and smell the roses.

Irregardless

Why? WHY?!

[astalyn]

All you Adino haters can admit it or not, but you get happy when I am defeated on the battlefield and especially if you get the kb

Your mighty blow topples Adino.

[SwaggerRebel]

Why? WHY?!

Why not? It's a North American colloquialism. The nice thing about languages is they're always changing. While the nice thing about history is it can never change, and I was pretty sure that same North American mentality destroyed the last petty minded bourgeoisie that tried to lord over then impose their view of what's socially acceptable on others in 1945. They keep popping up regarding grammar now though.

































tl;dr: Grammar nazis aint right. Smash fascism! Talk 'Merican.

/hug .... everyone. Especially my chew toys.

Just because wikipedia tells you that word is part of colloquialism doesn't mean it is. It is merely an expressionless disorganization of two words with the intent of a meaning which, due to ignorance, is wrong.



The prefix ir- means "not" while and the suffix -less means "without", the word irregardless carries the meaning "in regards to", instead of being merely a synonym of regardless.

And as an aside to your quip about grammar nazi's... While I agree that is quite common, grammar is actually the study of sentence structure. I was merely commenting on your word choice which is just a strange pet peeve of mine.

If you are dead set on using colloquialisms, one of my favourite books is The Great Gatsby. And of course one of my favourite people is Sah :P He makes up his own colloquialisms, though.

/hug Sah
/hug F. Scott Fitzgerald

Well if it peeves you that much I suggest you don't use the word in your masters thesis or anything then. I'm not so particular in my use when trolling a video game forum I'll use whatever F'n words I feel like. Pedantic eggheads raging over them is only a bonus. The reference to The Great Gatsby is lost on me.

I have my MPhys (Hons). Working on PhD So I guess you're right. I'm pedantic by the very definition of the word. Sorry you got angry that I trolled your troll.

The Great Gatsby is a wonderful book by the way.

That didn't make me angry, this is my general demeanor. My angry is a whole different level of dysfunction. Plus I'm working, when I'm working I'm bored, when I'm bored I cause problems.


I know The Great Gatsby is a book I should have read, I just never got around to it. I've always preferred the classics that have I don't know....rougher(?) characters and settings. Like stuff by Steinbeck, Hemingway, Bukowski or even Dostoevsky.

I took that stroll last night, went from Page 1 of the forums to the most recent. So many good memories and so much trolling... Riddermark forums will always remain the best of the best when it comes to trolling.
