The light blue colour and simple design of the site and the chat for ELL is nice!
00:39

@skullpatrol For what thing?
American football @Jasper
We are the only two in this room now. It's our room now @skullpatrol, lol.
Yup, since Damkerng left this room has been empty a lot.
Did he say why he left?
08:07
My current ELL experience is the best SE one so far.
Yeah, I like it too.
At least no bad answers upvoted very highly, unlike on math or Eng. =D
And absolutely no snarky comments.
Physics.SE has so much "snark."
I think those two sites have some real experts, but they are like few and far between, that's why.
@skullpatrol Does it also have a lot of drama?
I've found the most PhDs at physics
08:12
I didn't like it on math, because not many people appreciate my answers.
Drama is everywhere.
Yeah, I have decided to totally ignore some people now.
Best idea, by far.

Is include out used in actual conversations without intending to sound a bit jokey?
I have never heard include out used anywhere.
Is it perhaps confined to fixed phrases such as include me out?
I have never heard of include me out either.
I don't even know what that means.
It's either include me or exclude me, lol.
I heard it a couple of years ago in an American show but I can't remember whether it was said in jest.
It might be said in jest or it might be an accidental error.
I am going for dinner now, bye.
11:08
It wasn't the latter, but okay. Thank you.
Enjoy your meal.
11:29
@userr2684291 I am back, lol.
11:53
I've found the transcript/episode in which include out was used. It seems sort of sarcastic in that the person who uttered it wanted the other person to finally include themselves... out. The "..." I typed doesn't occur in the actual speech, but that's how I believe it's supposed to be interpreted. Maybe more emphasis is placed on the out part.
Yup, that's how I've heard it used in informal speech, "...well then, you can include me out of your plans..."

> The following time intervals for keeping the bulk solution, vials with the product, and cartons with the product outside the specified temperature range of 2-8 °C were set and confirmed:
I wonder if the word outside is good usage here
Hm
> Outside this range of safe operating temperatures the device may fail. (from Wikipedia)
Thus "outside" must be okay
@CowperKettle I think it's fine. "outside" or "inside" a range is common usage.
@ColleenV Good afternoon!
Thanks!

So I learned a new word today: A laster is a someone whose job is to stretch leather on lasts which shape different parts of a shoe and assemble the parts. From this question: ell.stackexchange.com/q/141486

@CowperKettle You're welcome. Now that I think about it, I might use "within" instead of "inside" if I were being very formal. I don't have an alternate "formal" word for outside though. shrug English, the asymmetrical, learner-confounding rules-were-made-to-be-broken language.
14:49
@ColleenV without (0:
@CowperKettle Lol, you would think, but then you remember that you're talking about English. Nothing is ever that simple.
15:36
Hi
15:57
Wow, I am the only person in this room now. This means it is my room, lol.

@ColleenV I don't know any other languages well, but maybe all languages are like that too, lol.

Hello pal @skullpatrol.
Hi pal @Jasper
I am wondering why this room is empty today?
Are people afraid of me?
Do you speak Spanish?
Nope, do you?
10 hours ago, by skullpatrol
Yup, since Damkerng left this room has been empty a lot.
That's why^
17:38
Maybe Damkerng has a whole bunch of accounts he uses to talk to himself, lol.
I only speak English and Gibberish.
I know that Gibberish and Rubbish are dialects of one language and are mutually intelligible.
Even snail plane doesn't come here as much...
Looks like it is going to be my room now, lol.
Watch out they could try to make you a room owner :-)
17:43
I don't mind, really.
They did that to me; then snail plane removed me.
Oh, and did she give you a reason?
Hmm, OK.
Are you upset about that?
17:45
The coolest part about being a room owner is that you get to see your name in italics.
no big deal
Do you still talk to Marilia?
Nope.
Do you?
I haven't for years either, and I haven't told her my new email.
We used to chat on gchat.
17:48
I don't really talk much to any SE folks anymore. Sometimes they take months to reply to an email.
I guess they have actual lives to live, unlike me.
You have a life, pal.
Plan to get better.
Do you say couple of books or couple books?
Do you say different from him or different than him?
Dunno, never really thought about it...
...it depends on what I'm trying to say.
I am a little confused about skullpatrol, skullpetrol, skillpatrol, and skillpetrol. Would be good if you stick to one chat user. =D
I'll try =D
