Why, is it supposed to be "any more" (which wouldn't surprise me), and "to morrow" (which I've never seen before)?

"Hundertprozentig" is an adjective. "Hundert Prozent" is not. It's been ever since I could think, and probably for a long time before that.

Anymore isn't common. Used by common people, maybe... :shifty: :P

Re: alright/all right

Is Bob Dylan evil?

Another explanation

Personally, I don't get the hatred for the word. It's just a word.

:shifty:
So am I.
...
Twice.
Polygamy solves everything! :D

For misusing a word or are there other reasons? :D

Other reasons. Reasons so terrifying I dare not speak of them. I have to think of the children, afterall... :crazy:

1. Not a big fan of puns unless they're clever. (Some of the wordplay was clever, but see #3 below.)

2. Not a big fan of random/out of left field humor. Vastly prefer humor that evolves logically from the circumstances. (For instance, the whole "red zone/white zone" bit was funny until it derailed into complete WTF?-ness at the end.)

3. Not a big fan of the exact same joke being used five zillion times in the same film... especially when almost every joke in the film ends up being recycled that way. I love running gags, but used judiciously, and there needs to be some variety in how the gag is repeated.

I think the only part of the movie I found unreservedly funny was the whole "I speak Jive..." bit.

Anyhoo.

As for the topic at hand... let me put it this way:

When "alright" actually evolves to the point where it means something *different* than "all right", (as other similar "smushings" have) I'll stop kvetching. Until then, I'll keep grinding my teeth over it and correcting it whenever I see it in something I'm copyediting.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Fair enough... but if you're ever feeling mischevious and children be damned, let us know what they are. :P

I think the words "adventure" and "games" should be banned. It would make life more amusing.

And I say we ban the names Robert, Lacey, and everything rhyming with them! That would make your life a little more amusing too! (For us.) :D

Alright then :D

Any way: every body, please don't bad mouth Air plane! any more. :P

Not sure if anybody's posted it yet, but...

Nucular (sic).

I dislike the word "Irrational" and the overuse of the word "Christ" in swearing (much like when people overuse "Oh my God"). Don't ask me about "Irrational" though, I have no idea where my hate for that word comes from...

So, you're saying that your dislike of that word is entirely...

Yes, I-word. See? I goes both ways.:P

I just found another one.

"Prolly" instead of "Probably". "Prolly" sounds like something you'd expect from a cat in heat.
