'Hell Bound'
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.
may the screw-up not be as bad as you fear.
You have NO idea. I called up a manager and swore on his voicemail...and five minutes later realised I'd fucked up the one recoverable way that never needs to go any higher. I did get laughed at, but by someone at my level for not knowing his job better. WHICH IS FINE. I don't do his job. And I told him anything goes as long as the answer was "recoverable".
Phew.
You have no idea. Or, well, you do. We have all had close shaves, when it could have been humiliating. I have some raging uncertainty coming up at work anyway, so I need to make as many other things as certain as poss....and the manager told me he's okay with profanity, so...I'm not sure how we like each other and work at loggerheads 95% of the time. Oh, well. Could be so much worse.
How did I just find out *now* that there is no set language for the Miranda rights, and what they use verbatim on TV so often is not conveying the right thing? I mean, i feel better, because it didn't make sense to me, but it's an industry-wide conspiracy!
here I'm thinking: man, ita's work situation is fucking out of control if she is being read her Miranda rights.
What wrong thing is it conveying?
there is no set language for the Miranda rights
Seriously?
What wrong thing is it conveying?
"Anything you say will be used against you in a court of law" when they are supposed to mean "anything you say can/may be used against you in a court of law".
Seriously?
Varies by jurisdiction. Not federally/supreme court dictated.
Oh, I believe they do say "may be used against you," not will. At least, not on Law & Order!
Wait, I take it back. I now have Jerry Orbach in my head saying "can and will..." Hmm.
This is what has been up my nose a lot. I'm glad I randomly asked. TV is clearly one jurisdiction...
And Life of Pi is clearly cheesy.
