Adam, I'm very sorry you've been hurt.

voiceless velar fricative Well I'm not a linguist, but I know words enough to figure out what that means. Voiceless meaning ... voiceless. "T" is voiceless. "M" isn't. "th" in "three" is voiceless, but "th" in "there" is voiced. Fricative ...

That is a crap position to be in.

In the long run it will make you that much better at your job? [/silverlining]

The Sarah Jane Adventures are very much a children's show.

It are a children's show? Where's the Grammar Nazi when we need her?

If you want to judge an author by his fan base, look at those jerks who like Orson Scott Card. Geez.

I thought this episode was a lot of fun. I really liked the Doctor trying to be a normal bloke, and failing. Jan's saying in my ear and I agree with her so I'm going to say it as if it was me and not give her the credit (wait...) that 10 was human lots of times and seemed to do it easily. But 11 see...

Even if you're active in your church (and I'm thinking of my extremely conservative evangelical midwestern church) couples in their mid twenties will routinely live together for a year or more before getting married.

If this is true than your church is not as conservative as you think it is.

Just chiming in on the digression to say: Locke is right about Nuclear power, and Canadians should know that already. Canada's nuclear power is very safe. A Chernobyl-style disaster will never happen in Canada, because of how our reactors are designed. And that design is reproducible, and being most...

Dear Bob,

They let us know.

If it's not clean and free of bacteria it's not water it's "poison", and if it's not clear it's technically "fruit punch".

Water should be more than cool. Cold is the most important characteristic of good drinking water, followed very closely by wet.

Confession: I really want to eat a McGangBang.

Considering the vast amounts of sugar in soda, particularly since it is high-fructose corn syrup , which your body isn't able to process properly , not to mention the amount of water used to make cola that might otherwise be drunk as ... well, water, I'm going to have to say that it's fairly clear t...

I just horrified Jan by confessing that I've never seen Grease. Or Saved by the Bell.

And a Canada goose once attacked my father. He's never golfed since.

There sure isn't much

Crap! Now less! Now none!

Now THAT is a dobie.

I'm going to St. Louis for 5 days, and I'm leaving it 20 minutes. I hate this part, where I want to enjoy the last time with Ginny and Jan, but I'm also all antsy about going to the airport.

Caspian

Nice.

Dear you:

Why do you think it's okay for you to just not show up to a seminar class?

Me.

Also: yeah that pink cookie was no good.

I don't have an accent. My way of talking is the normal way. Everyone else has accents.

ETA: Starlooker, it is possible that I sound like a children's tv program to you because I was talking to my child.

Caspian

Okay I'm done.

Despite the long post, all I saw that was of anything was "message board."

Don't get your back up and argue until you've let it sink in a little bit.

I don't understand the words you are using.

Or rather, I understand the words, but not as you are using them.

hmm m+n=3
m=n+3

Here's your first mistake.

If m+n=3 then
m=(-n)+3
or
m=3-n

*ahem* *pulls out soapbox* *taps microphone* Many of you do not venture into the games room often, or at all. It has become a place where a handful of newbies post single-word posts back and forth to each other. My fellow pwebers. The fault is not in our newbies, but in ourselves. Forum games do not...

For myself, I like books. I read academic articles online, but I have never been tempted to read an entire book on an electronic device. That may be because I have never used any of the good e-book readers, I only read articles (and sometimes small sections of books, which is about all I can handle)...

What do you think about ebooks? Anyone have a Kindle or one of its imitators? What about reading ebooks on your computer? Anyone do it? Is it so awesome you want to burn all your paper books immediately and go running through the street naked, listening to an audiobook on your ipod, or is it a terri...

Dear America, Welcome to the 20th century! It's nice, I hope you'll like it. You're a little late to the party, but better late than never, right? It's going to be a tough transition, I know. Some rich people will get less rich, and that's going to be tough, especially in this tough economic euphemi...

Inspired by a rather ... heated discussion in one of my classes, here's the question: Is the point of studying literature to make people familiar with great books or is it to give them the skills to read anything well? Another way of thinking about the question is: Is the point WHAT you read, or HOW...
