like they’re helping the EU now by ordering it to destroy itself? thanks, i think we’ll manage without it.

damn i hoped it was a political party making fun of bourgeois democracy, but no. this is much lamer.
YOU CANT FIRE ME, I QUIT
i’ve been told that people wanted to fuck the queen.
youngsters and their tools… we just used to dd some /dev/zero onto the block device and ^C out of it after a second or two… :D
also back then there was western industry that could be offshored to china. whose industry’s gonna move to argentina now? nobody else with a significant manufacturing sector is stupid enough to do it, after watching the west shoot itself in the foot. or so one would hope…
ages ago, i spent something like half a year thinking there was a word “appericate”. it was an odd one, since i only ever saw it in print, and from context it was clear that it meant the same thing as “appreciate”, which, oddly enough, i only ever heard in speech.
and then one day i stopped at an “appericate” in a book and re-read it 9 times, very slowly.
i went to the movie theater and watched it all the way through. it was harrowing. i havent forgiven the hobbit movie, PJ and the movie industry in general for that one.
if chickens can have fingers and buffalo can have wings…
so we’re doing the IE6 era again… ahh, makes me feel young
stuffed nose leads to sore throat though, inevitably. cos you breathe through your mouth and your throat dries out
why do you think that matters? what actually matters is how people use language. admittedly, this also involves studying people like you who have weird ideas about language.
if you just listen to people, you’ll find that they use this phrase to talk about atm machines. that’s all that is required. it doesnt matter if you think the name for a thing was derived through a process you personally dont like. it’s still a name for a thing that is in common use and understood by people.
oh, also, do you think the “river avon” is also wrong? why or why not?
that’s a spelling mistake, which is an entirely different kettle of fish
lol no. why would it be an error? if that’s how people say it, that’s what it’s called.
native speakers cannot by definition make systematic errors. they cannot make “common mistakes”. if a thing is common, that’s the correct way to say it. so what do you mean? spelling mistakes? (spelling is a separate thing from language)
we’re doing the IE6 thing again…
proudly standing tall on the bridge and saluting as the ship goes down…
i dont understand why people dislike that movie so much. from what i vaguely remember, it was stupid, but not bad. it wasnt the prestige or that other one, the one with the dreams and the BWAAAAAAAAAM.
i dont think they’ve lost touch, they’ve never been in touch. this behavior is apparently what produces the biggest profits for the next quarter, so they’ll do it until they drive the platform into the ground, then just start another one and repeat
