7. "XXXXX is so cliche'" it's "clichéd". |
||||||||

its great isnt it? generalizing and all that. |

Not really related by sometimes I do little design jobs for this drug addicition treatment clinic based in Florida, and, you know how a lot of times these treatment places employ ex-addicts, because, you know, obviously they're in a position to understand the people that come seeking help. Anyway this one guy who I liaise with over there just sent me an email apologising about a late payment saying, and I quote "Sorry Dan, ive been kinda out of it lately." Can't be a good sign, can it? |

it's fantastic |

yeah I hate how not everybody in the universe talks exactly like me. |
||||||||
|

Well that's all fine and good. But if you want other people to understand what the fuck you're mumbling about, you'd better speak the Queen's English good and proper. |

"cliche" didn't originally have english endings like "-ed" so people who say "XXXX is so cliche" are actually being truer to the original pronunciation than those who attempt to english-ify it. At least that's what I read somewhere, I can't find the article now though, which means there's a chance I made it up |
||||||||

like when people think they're being really smart when they say "octopi" as a plural for "octopus." it's not the right ending because the latin plural ending for the word "pus" is "pedes." but the plural for octopus is just octopuses apparently |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
probably because octopede could be misunderstood as referring to something with eight feet and not eight tentacles. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no they were planning for the obvious pun "octopussy" |
||||||||

why dont you just move into a fucking cave so you dont have to deal with things that apprently every single one of us do and say |
||||||||

I could care less about the topic...whatever. |

I think it would be a better idea if all you Americans moved into a cave. Why not use the one in Nevada where you're filming all the faked UncleSama Bin Laden videos... |
||||||||

well bill, at least you don't live here. why don't you start a thread about andy jenkinson and "phillie-t" and how you cry at night because you aren't friends with them? |

I like the cut of your jib! |

|
|
so, any of you guys like the electronic music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hate electronic music. Why would you ask a question like that? |
||||||||

I only got into it whilst waiting for The Stone Roses to reform. Come on lads, I've had enough of this shit. |

YeS!!! Ronnie Wood! |

you seem slightly obsessed with the word 'whilst', or perhaps it's just wishful thinking on my part. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's probably more commonly used in British English than... American English. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but are the two words synonyms or are there situations where you could apply only one and not the other? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Synonyms indeed, perfectly interchangable, as far as I know. |
||||||||

ok by the way, the guy in your avatar looks an awful lot like that guy from a clockwork orange.. truth or lies? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
, yes. He's been in some of the most impressive, landmark films in movie history, and then, echoing Rutger Hauer's career, turns up in sci-fi hokum like "Cyborg 3: The Recycler " and "Class of 1999" |

He's in HBO's Entourage. |
