It doesn't bother me a bit. I don't need friends who don't care how they look, don't care how they smell and don't care how they write.

My peeve I like to pet is when people do not understand the difference between coincidence, irony, and hypocrisy. They are not interchangeable!:/\\!!

I've got some friends...but not a whole lot. You don't need a whole lot...but it must be nice to not be ignored.

Oh well. :03:

I am in the process of conducting mutiny against the government.

The DIA released a writing guidance which promulgated that ALL possessives will end in -- 's.

Torpedo
Torpedo's
Torpedoes
Torpedoes's

You don't need a button to ignore someone. I ignore some people, but I don't have them on my ignore list.

Do you want to ignore me? I can make that happen.

I have lot's of friends! There's the lady with 47 cats, the neighbor who has every copy of the New York times since 1968, the guy with 5 motor-less trucks in his yard....

Come on Neal, you know Steve prefers alot over lot's. :03:

Sailor Steve 05-15-13 09:37 AM

No, lots is fine. I prefer people not throw apostrophes in where they don't belong. :sunny:

That's not true. He likes alot lot's, but I wouldn't say he prefers it per say. For all intensive purposes he would of rather had alot of lot's than lot's of alots.

Sailor Steve 05-15-13 09:52 AM

How well she knows me. I used to have a friend who said things like "For all extents and purposes".

Herr-Berbunch 05-15-13 10:23 AM

I get what's wrong with that, they've used purposes when they actually meant dolphins. :D

Sailor Steve 05-15-13 10:50 AM

That's a whale of a thing to say. Everyone should have a porpoise in life.

Better than "for all intensive purposes" which I have seen. :/\\!!
