English Language & Usage: Multi-Layered Discourse Room

Nice.

Wow that was a quick change :O

@Matt! I didn't notice you had left.

magic, huh!

I have a love hate relationship with this user. She is one of my best, but so rarely follows my directions.

And within fifteen minutes, despite the big red notice, a user logged in and broke the site.

4:08 PM

how is she the best if she doesn't do what she's meant to?

She figures things out. Just in this case, I asked her to include the keys for the schools (the numbers next to them on the list) when she emailed me back, because it would make my job easier. She didn't.

I feel like putting up a notice to that one user: [User name here], YOU ARE NOT A TEACHER LEADER!

Frigging people. I told them in the last meeting that it didn't matter if I put up a notice. Nobody ever thinks it applies to them.

is a 'teacher leader' a principal?

Or I could email her directly and say "You aren't a teacher leader. The notice where it says "Teacher Leaders Only"? That means NOT YOU. Quit breaking stuff!"

@cyberskull No.

I updated the message.

hee hee

Is hyphenating thank you acceptable?

> If you are not a teacher leader, please do not log in until you have heard from your teacher leader.

In bold and blinking marquee.

4:16 PM

@KitFox That's great!

@KitFox lol

@cyberskull You could, most don't.

Looks funny.

@MattЭллен OK, I lied about the last part.

awww.

I did bold it though. So Carol knows that it's her fault.

:D

4:18 PM

what's the difference between a principal and a head master?

Head masters are British.

The first is cisatlantic, the second transatlantic.

That's why we have deputy heads

So does the sheriff.

i shot the sheriff

4:20 PM

time to go again. BBL

Did you hear the one about the head master who married his opposite?

later

She was the tail mistress.

@MattЭллен Why do you do this to me?

@KitFox have you heard from this person?

4:21 PM

@MattЭллен You’re having barbecued lamb for supper?

@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 thinks

Oh, the bicyclist. Let's talk privately.

fixes hair

Shall I send you an invite?

@KitFox surely.

One moment.

Done.

4:52 PM

@cyberskull By the way, I enjoy troll-herding with you.

@Cerberus We make a great team ;-)

Yay!

I should change my name back...

...maybe next month.

Back to skullpatrol?

yep

on patrol for trolls

4:56 PM

You know you can change it on another site and then sync your account?

Patroll?

Trollpa?

Or you could beg a mod to change it for you.

Although they would probably say no.

Maybe I'll get used to this "cyber" thing :-)

Its so 21st century...

...but if the raiders keep winning i'll have to change back for sure :D

Cyber...

Silly, but fun in an ironic way.

Here is the definition I made.

5:03 PM

Okay...

Is that what it really means? You didn't invent it?

For real.

OK.

Americas most hated team

Skullpants

TIL

skullFox

skull-Kit

:D

5:07 PM

I'm pretty sure America's most hated team is the Yankees.

They win too much to be hated.

hiss

everybody loves a winner baby that's no lie

suddenly wants to play GTA

What does "GTA" stand for?

5:12 PM

Grand Theft Auto

thanks

5:45 PM

People around the world spent $ 591 million on the game on the very day it was launched.

That's 13 to 14 million sales.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

they've surpassed $1B sales now

in fucking sane

Well, hardly surprising, if you've ever played them.

And Four was a big disappointment.

So fans have been jonesing.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

I wish I could release a product that makes $1B in a day

And this one is available for download through the PS3 store, so availability isn't a problem.

What was I doing?

6:03 PM

jumps up and down I need attention!

is staring fixedly at @KitFox

no. sulks

Ok Twink I'll give you some attention pal :D

What is correct here?
" How many stages _something_ **has/have** ? "

@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 was that a Bill Hicks reference?

@terdon is it followed by and my foot is a (something)?

@Simon_eQ how many stages does something have

Nope, hang on

Anonymous

Yea, I forgot to mention does

Anonymous

So, the question is "How many stages does something ...? " have/has

6:18 PM

►

@Simon_eQ have

have.

@terdon it wasn't.

Anonymous

Oh, thanks! But if the something in question is singular, then it seems like has is appropriate isn't it?

Anonymous

I must be missing something

Anonymous

Arghh, sorry for my typos. They follow me everywhere.

@Simon_eQ "how many stages does the process have?"

"The process has 12 stages"

6:21 PM

How many stages does each process have? Each process has 12 stages.

Anonymous

How many stages does a traditional tea-making ____ ?

have

but don't say that

add a ceremony or something

Anonymous

Yea, I forgot 'process'

I was born to be grammatically-incorrect all the time.

6:24 PM

Why? You came and asked, that's fine

Anonymous

I think it was a curse, but I can't tell

Anonymous

thanks all

6:36 PM

Ungrammatical, not "grammatically incorrect".

why?

Because I said so.

oh

I was going to say that other thing, but then I couldn't remember if you were the one who told me.

Ugh.

6:37 PM

And if you weren't, you would have thought I was being an ass.

well, excuuuuuuse me :-)

Question is, how long should I wait for the project lead to get around to telling me that he is leaving for another position? I wanted to leave early today. I have shit to do.

@KitFox we say politically incorrect

We say "unabashed" not abashedly incorrect.
