'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
ita, like Steph said yesterday, brackets are different than parentheses. These are brackets: []
No, you are regional.
WE ARE NOT REGIONAL. WE ARE EVERYWHERE.
(I'm proofing something with long chemical names, which have italicized letters that seem random but I know aren't, and I just needed to bust in here with ASSCAPS so I could stop looking at the crazy chemical names for a minute.)
EVERYWHERE.
I think I've been pretty clear about being from somewhere else. If you need me to review, I can. Totally fine with that. The bit where you say the way I talk is wrong versus different, then we gonna have issues. You can say parentheses all you need--I am not going to sweat it much, though.
One of the people I see agreeing with that article is also self-identifying as having Aspergers and a brain injury. At what point can you be clear about what causes bring on what social effects?
Hmm. I guess the sort of gamer you would be in the early-mid 80s would be the sort that wrote your own games too, and given the effort expended to play through a Mass Effect and then do it again as male Shepard or a different character or whatever, I'm gonna say that your (my) Zork-ripoff for the BBC Micro or the Asteroids ripoff for the ZX Spectrum took less time, don't know about effort.
Steph, please. You are right there. Don't front like you're anywhere else.

I didn't say you were wrong, I said parentheses and brackets are called two different things in the U.S., and that's all I know.
Ita, one of my pet peeves is saying "driving on the wrong side of the road". It's the other side.
Steph, please. You are right there. Don't front like you're anywhere else.
Dang, I thought I was so convincing as being EVERYWHERE. Omnipresence isn't what it's cracked up to be.
Java, there's always people driving on the OTHER side of the road, though. Unless its a one way street. In which case wrong side would also be applicable.
Not if you define the sides as "left" and "right"!
Which reminds me, at the dentist yesterday, she kept asking me to turn toward the left or right, and it threw me every time. I realize I'm used to them asking me to turn toward or away from them.
meara, when I've heard "wrong side of the road" being used it's been said by smug Americans who think they're being witty about their travel experiences. It's not witty, it just sounds provincial.
