Well, I know it's gotta be a number in the triple digits. I hate these kind of guessing games, and I don't have a favorite number to use. So that's what I used.

Plus, I had the added benefit of watching to see people's reactions to my choice.

"I also find it quite odd that a woman thinks rape is something to make a game out of when so many of us women don't find it funny at all."

Some do I suppose, but now that wouldn't be me either... you lose again little man.

I'm a tolerant person. I have, however, reached my personal insult quota from you for this century. I'm done.

Fuck off.

Funny that's the second time today he's been told that... wonder if he'll get the hint this time?

Has this rambling anything to do with the topic?

yes it does

 

[AngelicAssassin]

Let's see how long it takes till you figure it out:

If you don't throw a dice ...

Less time than it will for you to either "figure out" the correct singular form of your chance cube, or proceed them with the proper article.

In the meantime, add and die to the previous suggestion, pun intended.

Eleven?

At what age are you even supposed to start getting mammograms? I'm sorry, I'm an idiot, but I really don't know.

40 is the magic number for your baseline mammogram, rather than late 40s, unless you have family history or other conditions as mentioned previously. I would guess your doctor would tell you if you should start earlier during your annual gyn exam? Mine sent me for my first at 38 because my mom was diagnosed that year.

I got my first mammogram when I was . . .21? I started getting blood in my breast milk. *shrugs* We never did figure out what was wrong, but it cleared up all by itself. Probably an infection in a milk gland.

I do. A d12 and a d60 determines what time I get up in the morning.

ROFL!

I realize that Wiki is junk fact check, but sometimes it's just perfectly spot on.

Shows "dice" as plural of "die" in translated Einstein quote: "I am convinced that He does not throw dice"

Shows dice as colloquial singular form in lyric from Abba.

Yes, as they say you are both right. And illustrated it well.

Yes, you're right. I got confused with colon checks. I'm sorry. Think I'd know better as a nurse.

Darlin', i haven't tried to use a word from pop lyrics since an instructor shot down synchronicity in 1989, and yes Wiki has my gaffe too. If cupcake is basing his incorrect use on Abba, he has more wrong with him than reading comprehension on top of suckass grammar skills.

You are not just too dumb to know your language and too dumb to read a dictionary, no, you are even too dumb to read the sources provided. Not only did your attempt to mock me fail, your feeble attempt to cover it up makes it even more ridiculous.

However, it should be noted that some authoritative sources state that “In modern standard English, the singular die (rather than dice) is uncommon. Dice is used for both the singular and the plural.

Yes, i have been dumb. i should have said no dice when a moron provided proof of my position.

Hint:
Try the very first entry - it's labeled 1a.

I know, reading comprehension is a lost art.


Of course, you could also use Netzach's source that I even quoted here.

i totally agree with your lack of reading comprehension. Try

Inflected Form(s): plural dice

and from your source, an explanation of the inflected form, specifically

On the other hand, if the inflected form is created in an irregular way or if the dictionary user is likely to have doubts about it (even though it is formed regularly), the inflected form is shown in boldface ...

Nouns The plurals of nouns are shown in this dictionary when suffixation brings about a change of final -y to -i-, when the noun ends in a consonant plus -o, when the noun ends in -oo or -ey, when the noun has an irregular plural or a zero plural or a foreign plural, when the noun is a compound that pluralizes any element but the last, when a final consonant is doubled, when the noun has variant plurals, and when it is believed that the dictionary user might have reasonable doubts about the spelling of the plural or when the plural is spelled in a way contrary to expectations.

As for your hint, only a jackass would continue braying having provided the 2x4 used to hit him over the head, but since you insist, have another. Die, from your source strangely enough says:

* Main Entry: 2die
* Pronunciation: \ˈdī\
* Function: noun
* Inflected Form(s): plural dice \ˈdīs\ or dies \ˈdīz\
* Etymology: Middle English dee, from Anglo-French dé
* Date: 14th century
1 plural dice: a small cube marked on each face with from one to six spots and used usually in pairs in various games and in gambling by being shaken and thrown to come to rest at random on a flat surface —often used figuratively in expressions concerning chance or the irrevocability of a course of action <the die was cast>

Of course, you could also use Netzach's source that I even quoted here.

Explains everything if you're an Abba fan as does English as your second language. In either case, you have my sympathies, for pitiful taste and an incompetent instructor respectively. If the latter, you need to demand a refund.

You can have your stick back now; i'm done beating you with it. With any luck, you'll win that 0.0015% Florida lottery before someone needs to do it again.

You know, your argument could make sense, if I would ever have said that "dice" is not the plural of "die". Unfortunately I never said this. You said though that dice is not the singular of a chance cube. But hey, you learned two new things in this thread, so it wasn't that bad for you after all.

 

[Etoile]

The plural of dong is dongs. Just FYI.

 

[AngelicAssassin]

But hey, you learned two new things in this thread, so it wasn't that bad for you after all.

Actually, i've learned quite a few things and the list continues to grow. You

• possess poor grammar skills
  

  Do you throw a dice?

• lack reading comprehension
  

  either "figure out" the correct singular form of your chance cube, or proceed them with the proper article.

• suffer short term memory loss

Your indefinite article use of "a"

Do you throw a dice?

"as a function word before singular nouns when the referent is unspecified" indicated your intent for dice.

If not, you're an even bigger jackass for not understanding the use of a.

 

[myinnerslut]

I do. A d12 and a d60 determines what time I get up in the morning.

can you imagine how big a d60 would have to be? a tad cumbersome, im sure.

easier to roll a d6 and a d10 for the tens place and the ones place.

This one is 4x4" but it has HUGE numbers. I bet you could make it smaller with smaller numbers! Anyway, it could fit on a bedside table. But I do like your solution. EXTRA NERDY!!

I really thought you just didn't want to understand it, but I start to think you really can't. I would write much more, but I don't want to confuse you, so I guess we need to go from one step to another:

1) Where did I say that I intended to use dice as plural?

 

[Primalex]

can you imagine how big a d60 would have to be?

About 1.5 inches in diameter, why?

 

[Puman]

Oooookay. So after all that, what is the magic number?
