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

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. |

For misusing a word or are there other reasons?

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

I think the words "adventure" and "games" should be banned. It would make life more amusing.
|
06-06-2006, 12:46 PM | #152 |
Not like them!
|
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.)

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...

I just found another one.
"Prolly" instead of "Probably". "Prolly" sounds like something you'd expect from a cat in heat. -
