Easing into Lit one board at a time

[hashtag45]

No need to state the obvious then, is there?

Well, as you see it: compared to your IQ, even Einstein was retarded.
So I take it as a compliment.

 

[neci]

Welcome to the board. Beware though, there are certain individuals on here you should stay away from. Just don't be naive.


Again, welcome.

that would be a fun thread.

 

[Adjudicator]

I think most of us have adapted. It just takes one to unravel the whole thing.

Have you figured out who our "one" is? It is quite obvious, I'm afraid.

 

[yossi]

that would be a fun thread.

The Dark and Dubious if the GB.

Could you spell out who that person is?
I'm afraid I'm too dumb to figure that on my own.

It's me. Let's go with that lol

 

[EllAyyBee]

It's me. Let's go with that lol

Did I kill the thread? I was being facetious ya know.

 

[hashtag45]

So were we, so don't worry.

 

[EllAyyBee]

You are an extremely intriguing creature.

Well, since I derailed the thread a bit, I'll put it back to the interesting stuff:

I was thinking it would be a funny thread if I posted in the perspective of "Noob mistakes to avoid, as learned the hard way by myself"

But I've learned enough here today that I'm thinking it probably wouldn't go over nearly as well as it seems in my head.

It 'tizn't??

Speaking on behalf of all Americans, we think the latter is both correct and American.

Also, ease up on them there extra aneous U' s wouldja?


Although, funny bone is more humourus if you add the U.

An added U is just plain sexy...

 

[EllAyyBee]

I've always thought the extra U to be quite elegant.

 

[barefootgirl69]

It can be both, right? There's something about the spelling of some words.

'While' is nice, but 'whilst' ?!

 

[Hard_Rom]

It is not an 'extra' U, it is a required U. Proper English does not contain extraneous Us, American English is lacking.

Okay, let's tackle a harder question shall we?

Gray or grey?

 

[Wrong Element]

Gray or grey?

Gray. We speak Murrican here.

 

[Hard_Rom]

I find myself going back and forth between gray and grey. Americanization of Canadian English can be seen up here. Vast amounts of media and information comes across the airwaves and print up here.

centre or center

meter or metre

defense or defence

license or licence

zee or zed

chesterfield or couch

I asked Laurel to change my username (related to an offsite matter, nothing to do with my experience on Lit.)
She graciously agreed, and someone suggested hashtag. Which seemed the best choice since many people call me hashtag, hash or so on.

Shame we couldn't use symbols - it reminds me of when Prince changed his name to some symbol and everyone referred to him as "the artist formerly known as Prince."
