Tep, When I type "Ya" I have no clue what accent I am using. Sometimes I could be mocking Fargo-esque folk/movie. Sometimes not. (see earlier conversations with accents and how I slip in/out of them real easy). Usually it's because I'm too lazy, or tapping from the iPhone, and "ya" is easier. But, for whatever reason, "yeah" seams too elongated. Like a teenager rolling their eyes.
As for the "quim" quip. How is it that I did not know this word? Dude. I love the quim! Do you think my chances in Match.com would increase if I changed my handle to something with Quim in it? Not like I'm have much luck now.

Y'all crack me up with the sub/Dom type. I finally have work to do, and there is an awesome exchange. I'm not paranoid, but I'm really sensing a trend here.
OK, back to finding sheet music. Of course they needed yesterday, so we can't wait for it to be shipped. God forbid they tell me the day before yesterday to save time. Pfft. Whatever.
Tep, I didn't feel insulted. In fact, I found it quite interesting that you heard it differently. I am unimaginative enough to think the way I hear it is the *only* way. I am disabused, which is totally cool.
Um, Tep? I can only assume that, because you capitalized it, Gunga Din is a dom's name?
Because that seems like a very odd/counter-intuitive choice to me. Wasn't Gunga Din a servant in the poem?
Man, Shakespeare would be exhausting. The titles alone.
king lear
hamlet
Othello
romeo & Juliet
I do hehehehehehe as the short B&B kind of laugh and wasn't insulted. I have also been told I have a "machine gun" laugh and hehehehehehe sort of fits that bill, too.
my name is master's pet. my Master is Sir Kicksyourass. W/we are looking forward to meeting Y/you A/all at the next event lol. i hope W/we make many new friends, if i am not too naughty hehehehe. See Y/you soon! smiles
I think the "Y/you" bothers me much more than the "W/we." Because it's imposing the capitalization rules that this couple uses for themselves onto other people.
Three more days until I speak at the math conference. Anxiety level rapidly rising.
Speaking of English...
From yesterday's broadcast of "Midmorning" on Minnesota Public Radio:
Every year has its buzz words, and 2008 was no different. Midmorning word guru Anatoly Liberman takes a look at some of this year's buzz words, and the effort to reform English spelling. And as always, he'll answer listener questions about words and word origins.
Anatoly Liberman: professor in the Department of German, Scandinavian and Dutch at the University of Minnesota. His new book, "an Analytic Dictionary of English Etymology," came out in March.

"Grammar play" should be listed along with anything else, you know? FULLY CONSENTING, people.
We seem to be approaching 10,000 COMM incidents. I wonder how much that is in accumulated paper towels used?
I don't know if Gunga Din could ever not be funny.
well there was that time my (now ex) husband sent an email to the entire (mostly Indian expat) company thanking the front desk for straightening out a water delivery problem with "you're a better man than I am, Gunga Din."
they said they fired him for tardiness. heheheheheheheheh.
the moral of the story is: know the full meaning of your literary references.
Um, Tep? I can only assume that, because you capitalized it, Gunga Din is a dom's name?

I can only assume that he wants people to keep saying "You're a better man than I am."
