Sex & Shenanigans

What would YOU like to talk about @Bry1313 ?

Food is fun, what are people having for lunch, versus what do you wish you were having for lunch. Feel free to name people as well.

The idea of "correcting" someone to say "whom"? WTF??? That is one I likely wouldn't even notice.

I honestly don't let it bother me... I just always notice. And my idea of "fixed it for you" is generally never about grammar.

Oh yeah... you've probably seen that.

I can use who/whom and farther/further and affect/effect correctly, but those are some of the things I rarely correct. If I have to stop and think about which one to use, chances are others aren’t going to get it right 100% of the time either.

Okay, everything is learned behavior. But there is a flow to conversation, written or spoken. And when your mind finds a word that it has to stop and recontextualize, it takes you out of the flow.

That’s something that completely takes me out of some Literotica stories and drives me mad.

Some of us just have fat thumbs and vindictive autocorrects

Have you met @OrdinaryPerson ?

Suddenly, I might be ready to be an Anglophile. One question, do you all find the existence of a royal family absurd in the 21st century or are you guys trapped in the before times and the concept of royalty seems normal?

Am I allowed in the UK thread? I have never even visited. I wouldn't want to be rude.

She was who I had in mind. Her imperfections are perfect here.

I worked for Brits for many years. One of my favorite things about quitting that job is I can now end emails with Cheers without worrying that they’ll think I’m mocking them. Which is really an oddly common occurrence in my life.

When I corresponded with Hong Kong, the ending was either Regards or Best Regards

Those non-best regards were probably how you know she was pissed

You rang, m’lady?

Homophones are the worst. You only care because you’ve been taught to. Never once have you been speaking to someone and stopped to think “do they mean ‘you are’ here?” It’s impossible to mistake the meaning in speech, and if you haven’t been taught to do so in writing you wouldn’t either.

Oh cool, grammar talk, especially present tense vs future tense, was so fun yesterday……more grammar talk.

always was a fan of the past perfect...

Went quite a ways out of the way to a soul food buffet that I was promised had the best fried chicken in the world by someone I trust very completely on food.

It was great, don’t get me wrong. But it wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, and it wasn’t worth the travel or the cost for what Ingot.

The best friend chicken come from my kitchen....
They lied to you ...

 

[lavendersilk]

Rather than "I live to serve," I once texted "I live to sever." Entirely different connotation.

Is that your bat signal?

 

[lavendersilk]

Imagine not being friends with @MindYaBitness because of typos. Yeah, that bummed me out too.

Homophones are a large reason I have mad respect for English as a second language speakers.

"Si!" said the seaman. "I saw the saw with semen from the seaman by the sea. See?"

 

[hotoldrguy]

Exactly, on a lot of things like that. Your eyes see it, your brain knows that word doesn't belong there, and your eyes then stumble over it.

and yet most of us can understand words written backwards or with numbers mixed in them
