@Cerberus nonono, I am accusing a small nation of being you.
@tchrist okay some of these are undeniably the 70s, but for quite a few all that makes them the 70s are the staches. Think them away and you'll teleport right to the 90s, or even present day.

I was reading through some of the posts regarding reference to something "possessed" by more than one person, and I can't seem to find an agreement of the usage of of myself.
Is it correct to say the following?
The efforts of myself and my ilk.
I understand that something like:
The eff...
For the record, my wardrobe has been jeans or shorts and a tee shirt or polo shirt for the last n decades. I have worn suits occasionally, but mostly to funerals and similar events.
@Robusto technically, you only didn't elect him the first time around. But then you decided, "don't elect him once — shame on him, don't elect him twice — shame on us!"
For the record: what I said about Ms Warren was a most literal compliment. I am quite perplexed you take it to be irony.
@Robusto you take something, e.g. an exhibit, where you usually start with A and then progress through the alphabet, and then shove it up said body part.
Then, and only then, are you entitled to walk up to Judge Scalia.
I was so agitated at the prospect of having met someone on the Internet who might or might not in the future have met someone else, that I struggled to use the best metaphor and instead used them all. Problem?
@Robusto No. Again. You've had like, in a row, twenty presidents from three families. Why not a fucking janitor, at last? How long do you want to wait?
You are literally Russia at this point. Bush-Medvedev-Bush-Bush-Medvedev-Bush-Bush-Bush-Bush.
Just you wait, soon enough all you'll be left with is Fox News broadcasting 24/7 photos of nekkid Bush fishing while riding a bear.
I don't give survival tips for free. For free all I can tell you is that sometimes you eat the nekkid Bush riding a bear, sometimes the nekkid bear riding Bush eats you.

@Robusto every place has its problems. Tahiti...rising sea level. Minnesota...mosquitoes. The South... the people. Italy... road signs. Mt Everest... good wifi signal.
@Robusto For me it's people who talk so much they don't let me jump in and say 'no, the first thing you said is a false assumption so every thing afterwards is incorrect'
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 And I'm saying you can't get a whole lot farther south in your country than you already are. Side note: jokes are not meant to be accurate to six decimal places.
@Mitch abuse and argument have a, u and e. abuse and silver have s and e. argument and silver have r and e. a, u, e, s, e, r, e -> reese au: i.e. the reeses pieces alternate universe. This is a sign of the illuminati
Yes, this is new.

> He was caricatured in the Disney cartoons Mickey's Gala Premiere (1933), Mother Goose Goes Hollywood (1938), and The Autograph Hound (1939). All of them contain a scene in which he is seen laughing so loud that his mouth opens extremely wide.
To be clear, I just noticed not noticing not new things before.
Or rather I haven't.
@MattE.Эллен You know what's sad? Finding a dead bird net to a window. Because they thought that was perfectly good free air right there. But it wasn't.
a couple brought in a large spider they found, and she had to explain that it was just a house spider and that, yes, they will keep finding them in their house.
The couple had just moved to the UK, so didn't know our spiders are harmless
@MattE.Эллен Well, if you people would—or could—open your windows that might change things somewhat. I stayed at plenty of B&Bs that had me sneezing fit to die.
Creating single-word adverbs out of prepositional phrases is not a productive rule in English. Things like amidst, today, nowadays happened at varying stages in history, but you cannot just go and do that whensoever you please today.
Therefore it makes no sense to runeverythingtogetherlikeyoujustdid. It will only confuse the reader, and it may cause them to think you are careless and disrespectful.
It is true that there are a great many adverbs that were originally prepositional phrases, but you cannot do that yourself.
Yes, but I was only curious since words like at least and of course roll of the tongue as a single words in spoken English, and it seemed appropriate to just join them.
Showme something you feel should be run alltogether orthographically forwantof clear separation ofunmerged syllables, and we'll consider thematter hereandnow.
I think you will quickly come to the conclusion that English does not work this way.
Perhaps they are French, where la + action is written l’action. But English does not work that way. It works like Spanish, where even though la + acción when spoken fuses the adjacent unstressed vowels to be pronounced [lakˈθjõ], it is still written as two words: la acción.

Or should one ignore him and simply let the Very Low Quality queue run its course?
I don’t think he’s getting the message. Or I am not presenting it well enough.
There was the following passage in Maureen Dowd’s article in New York Times (August 22) under the title, “Donald Trump struts in his own pageant” starts with the following lines;
“It’s mind-boggling to contemplate a President Trump trying to make
peace between North and South Korea, even as...
