I always think the best way to proceed is to use the pronouns the individual person prefers, but fandom_wank isn't exactly set up for that.

fandom_wank is actually very committed to using the pronoun that the person prefers, and both moderators and the community have come down hard on people who argued that someone like Victoria Bitter doesn't have the right to decide his own gender identification.

Is this referring to something specific? I'm not sure what you're talking about.

The people who were convinced that two or more of the actors were in a romantic relationship and being forced to cover it up by the studio.

Right, but it's still an aggregator of posts and comments from all over the internet at various points in time. Unless the moderators are changing pronouns on the original sources they're linking to, there's always going to be some confusing grammar in there.

From this post about the latest VB wank:

Let me go then, this incarnation of I,
When my fandom is spread out against the sky
Like a fangirl etherised upon a table;
Let me go, through certain half-deserted IPs,
seeking new IDs
Of bloody nights in Irish pubs
And saving maidens I must bid adieu:
Posts that follow are more than deja vu
Of very clear intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question … 10
Oh, do not ask, “WTF?”
Let us go and con more schmucks.

Awesome.

In the '60s and '70s, "Frodo Lives" was fairly often seen spraypainted in the general vicinity of "Who is John Galt?"

John Galt, the anti-hobbit. I know who'd I'd rather have a beer with. "It comes in PINTS?"

Does anyone here know Romanian? What do "proba" and "martor" mean? Also, you wouldn't happen to know the Romanian abbreviations for prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time, would you?

Isn't there an app for that, P-C?

Kidding.

I need lunch, and out of sheer laziness it's probably going to be hummus, multigrain chips, and a piece of fruit again.

Proba = test or proof. Martor = witness.

Thanks, Polgara! Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to elucidate these lab results. You wouldn't happen to know what IQ and TQ mean in relation to clotting factors, would you?

I shall ask my two Romanian colleagues that sit right next to me.
