Pet Food Recall

Perspectives on our world and our universe, how it works, what is happening, and why it happens. Whether by a hidden hand or natural laws, we come together to hash it out, and perhaps provide a little bit of education and enlightenment for others. This is a place for civil discussion. Please keep it that way.
Forum rules

2) Sourcing your information is highly recommended. Plagiarism will get you banned.
3) Please create a new thread for a new topic, even if you think it might not get a lot of responses. Do not create mega-threads.
4) If you think the subject of a thread is not important enough to merit a post, simply avoid posting in it. If enough people agree, it will fall off the page soon enough.

My first version of that post said you would be in your undies.

I changed it because every man should have at least one set of dorky pjs.

Again, what makes you think... (just kidding).

Most people I've lived with don't. Boxers or Shorts (as in pants, not undies) only. Fire alarms at 3AM in New England in December have a way of making you wear outside appropriate clothing to bed. Or keeping warm clothing close by at all times.

Today's liberals wish to disarm us so they can run their evil and oppressive agenda on us. The fight against crime is just a convenient excuse to further their agenda.

Punctuation, specifically commas, are your friend.

A Woman, Without her Man, is nothing
A Woman: Without her, Man is nothing

Punctuation is the difference between "I helped my Uncle, Jack, off a horse" and "i helped my uncle jack off a horse"

I've never been called out for punctuation or grammar before. I'm amused. :mrgreen:

Lets just say it took me a bit to figure out what you were saying there.

Contractions require apostrophes. I think you mean "Let's"
Ok Cupcake.
She's an okay cupcake? Neither great nor awful but somewhere inbetween? And you such a fan of commas?

I hate ridiculously anal grammar Nazism for its own sake. I rarely check my posts beyond making sure that they make sense - I'm not here to write a paper on English Langauge or worry about when a comma seperates the if- and result-clauses of a conditional.
I type conversationally.

Find the mistakes in this post! Impress your friends!

If it's coherent and understandable then it, doesn't, fucking, matter.

That's the problem. It wasn't clear after the first reading. Or the second, for that matter.

C'mon, adciv.
Are you seriously suggesting it took three scans of 'You see boys' before you made sense of it?

No. It took me three scans before I finally figured out what she intended to say.

I had the same problem as adciv. Of course, I was in class at the time. But there are times when grammar IS important.
