[2014-8-14. : 6:57 pm]  Devourer -- Why don't we just be more exact and always use the unix time stamp whenever something was written or for deadlines and what not [2014-8-14. : 6:27 pm] Azrael -- At a grocery store near me, they have their prices in pounds but their scales are in kilograms, so they can't even tell you how much your shit will cost until you take it to the register. [2014-8-14. : 6:26 pm] Azrael -- Canada has kind of adopted them, except when it comes to weights: In the store, the packages are in grams, but meats/fish/etc are often marked in pounds. [2014-8-14. : 6:25 pm] Azrael -- Celcius and meters are a lot more sensible than Fahrenheit and yards. [2014-8-14. : 6:22 pm] Azrael -- Regardless: Yes, many people know that the metric system is superior and wish that it was used here. [2014-8-14. : 6:21 pm] Azrael -- Latitude and longitude work the same way, as well as most other things. [2014-8-14. : 6:19 pm] Azrael -- "I'm going to a concert on September 8th," or "I'll be back before 8:30": These statements aren't ambiguous in the context of most given situations. [2014-8-14. : 6:15 pm] Azrael -- In either case, the last element (the scope reference) can be dropped, and it's naturally assumed you mean the previous/next instance of that time/date. [2014-8-14. : 6:11 pm] Azrael -- 6:30 PM: 6 = Hour, 30 = Minute, PM = 12 hour timespan for reference. [2014-8-14. : 6:10 pm] Azrael -- True, you wouldn't say "30 minutes 6 hours", because smallest -> largest is weird. [2014-8-14. : 6:09 pm] Azrael -- "Devourer -- I am probably nitpicking there but it probably would drive me mad if people around me would use that order. Like, 6:30 pm you wouldn't say "Oh yeah it is 30 minutes 6 o'clock" or whatever" [2014-8-14. : 11:46 am] lil-Inferno -- "CecilSunkure -- Anyone know how to get a hold of samsizzle?" I have him on Skype. [2014-8-13. : 6:57 pm]  O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I was just saying English was it's own thing, probably not too dissimilar from German, and then the French came and French got mixed in a bunch ;o [2014-8-13. : 6:53 pm]  Alzarath -- Ah, with that context the sentence is a bit more clear. Maybe a comma after 'out'? I dunno, English sucks. [2014-8-13. : 6:51 pm] jjf28 -- I also blame the french for not completing metric time/dates, and for not creating expiration periods on standard measures [2014-8-13. : 6:50 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I was using it like "There we were" or "There I was". You don't say "There, I was standing at the super market." [2014-8-13. : 6:48 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- "NudeRaider -- Wouldn't it be "There the English were hanging out..."?" no, I was referring to the language. [2014-8-13. : 6:38 pm] jjf28 -- "you can not just blame Frennch for everything, farty!" you're not allowed to think like that, you're German! [2014-8-13. : 6:30 pm] Devourer -- Isn't that the same as "The 5% is [...]" which is correct, but most say "The 5% are [...]" which is wrong [2014-8-13. : 6:30 pm] Alzarath -- I still feel like a comma would be necessary in that case. I haven't done much research into when commas are absolutely required, though. [2014-8-13. : 6:26 pm] Alzarath -- I don't usually point out stuff like that, I was just confused which one you intended. [2014-8-13. : 6:24 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I used the correct one. I did use "it's" instead of "its" though. [2014-8-13. : 6:22 pm] Alzarath -- Whenever I try to discuss someone making an error, I make an error. I even went over that sentence twice because that's what usually happens and I still missed it. [2014-8-13. : 6:20 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Giving us a bunch of ridiculous and silly-sounding words, getting rid of our 2nd person singular pronoun ... who knows what else they did. [2014-8-13. : 6:19 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- There English was hanging out on it's own little island, probably not even too far off from German, when the French came and Frenched it all up by getting French all over it.  |
