Where are you? did you have had a Kojac problem?
 
@Carlo_R what do you mean
 
@CarloR Kojak was originally an american TV show, so yeah, he's known over here.
but i wouldn't say that he's wildly popular, especially not now
especially since it's been nearly 40 years since the show first aired
 
Obviously, when I asked if you had a "Kojac problem" I do not was serious. @MrShinyandNew
Anyone may forget Kojac in Italy? He is an "icona" here.
 
@Carlo_R No, follow the arrow. I was asking you what you meant by "a voice 'kojak' on en wikipedia"
 
@MrShinyandNew安宇 I want say "article". In Italian language an article of an encyclopedia is saied "voce"; so I did wrong.
I must leave you. Goodbye.
 
6:13 PM
@Carlo_R bye
 
You know, aside from the query I helped @MrShiny with, I am pretty sure I haven't done a lick of work today.
/me wishes I had some coffee.
So here's the thing.
I have the test site all in disarray.
And a bunch of pages need to be rebuilt.
Plus I'd like to prune the sprocs and views.
What's the sneakiest way to get this done so noöne will notice that I'm doing it?
 
@KitFox file it under "bug fixes"
 
And yet it still looks like I'm doing something daily.

Q: The Usage Of The Conjunction *and*

ArchJI'm always uncertain with the usage of the conjunction and in a situation like these: Should I say When they are too depressed and feeling a pervasive sense of suffering... or When they are too depressed and are feeling a pervasive sense of suffering... or When they are too depre...

This is a very popular question these days.
Also, indescriptive titles FTL.
 
Hey, at least the tags are decent.
I don't know how to close this.

Q: Repeating "to" and "will" in enumerations of verbs

prprprShould I use the second "will" in constructions like this one: "it will definitely help you and will make the text more readable" And should I write "to" before every infinitive in enumeration, or only before the first one, e.g. "it helps to develop and test" or "it helps to develop and to test"...

This I edited just a couple hours ago, adding links to two extremely similar questions.
But we have way more than that.
And I am somewhat sure we had a broader question somewhere we could turn into something canonical.
 
I was trying to find one with parallel structure. That's all this is really, right?
 
I guess so.
We even have this about prepositions.
1
Q: Repeat the preposition in an "or" phrase, or not?

carolWhich is correct (or better) English: "Choose lace in neutral pastel tones or also in grey or black" "Choose lace in neutral pastel tones, in grey or in black" "Choose lace in neutral pastel tones, grey or black"

 
ok I'm going to get coffee.
bbl
 
I should really start crosslinking them all so we don't have to search for them again.

Q: What sentence parts needs to be repeated here?

maaartinusWhat of the following is right? "We need to find out..." "...how to lower the costs or how to produce more." "...how to lower the costs or to produce more." "...how to lower the costs or produce more."

Q: Do I need to add "to" in every clause in a this sentence?

Computist Working in the field helps us to learn how to apply theories to solve real-world problems, to apply […], and to […]. Are the "to" after each comma necessary?

The more I search, the more I find.
 
I answered the one I posted. I don't much like my answer though.
There's got to be one good one that explains how parallel structure works.
I'm going to get some coffee too.
brb
 
Uffff. So I've crosslinked them all, more or less. Now I'm afraid to google, because I know that I will find another dozen, which I will have to add into the crosslinking pool. Combinatorial headassplosion.
 
None of them satisfies me. Most of them have "to" in them.
 
That's because that's what I searched for this morning.
Now we have added only two more questions, but they already deal with prepositions and whatnot.
Oh, and I've also seen at least two more that were closed.
 
Hannele suggested the parallel-structure tag. I thought it might be a good idea.
 
6:43 PM
He immediately changed it into .
I don't care either way, but I'll start adding them to that crazy bunch.
 
7:04 PM
I put a bar into Z-Warriors.
They are not too difficult.
I had maybe 2 surrenders.
Anybody do interstate website support-ish kind of things?
Not support. Design, more like.
 
7:24 PM
looks at leave balances longingly
 
@KitFox Not me but my ex. Pft + ish.
Is there any differences between taking notes and making notes?
 
@Gigili "taking notes" implies that someone is talking or otherwise providing information to you and you are writing it down. "making notes" just means you are writing down something noteworthy.
 
@MrShinyandNew安宇 Thank you.
 
7:43 PM
@Gigili you're welcome
 
sighs contentedly
 
> Maybe sometime you should take off your black turtleneck, stop compulsively adjusting your Tumblr theme, and lighten the fuck up for once.
heheh
> Theodore heard of Youth Lagoon before Max. Max heard of them after Cindy, but Cindy heard of them before Don. Who’s the bigger asshole?
 
8:05 PM
Yay. I get to be on a search committee.
Also, I'm headed home. Later!
 
8:29 PM
Hi.
 
@Mahnax Hi. But also bye. ttyl
 
Bye!
 
@Reg Fewer than 600 XP from a level-up. Suggestions?
 
8:54 PM
@Reg Also, there's another voice of insurgency in faction chat.
Also, the Game room before you go to faction chat.
 
9:11 PM
Never mind.

Q: Origin of the word 'Idaho'

Carlo_R.What is the origin of the word Idaho? Does it derive from originary Indian language?

One for every state?
 
No, the others are well known :4095919
On my blackberry there are problem to display the chat. The layout is broken
Is there anyone in chat? or I cannot see you because the layout is broken on my blackberry.
On my blackberry I am seeing that some boxes are mooving
 
10:15 PM
Oh, that's probably not a good thing.
Try an iPhone, it'll work better.
 
There are names inside that boxes.
 
The RIM share price is at $12.91. Apple's is $629.32.
 
I do not like the iPhone becouse it do not have the keyboard.
 
The touch keyboard is very nice, but to each his own.
 
However, in Italy the share price of an iPhone is at 30Euros.
 
10:22 PM
How do you figure?
Where does one find the share price of a particular product?
 
For iPhone you can see on vodafone, tim or tre's sites.
But I do not think that an iPhone imported in Italy function with sim of _4 company
 
Well, I have to run, I have work.
Good day to you.
Or night, since you are in Italy.
 
_4 = US - the problem is that I do not see the field where I am writing interely
I must leave the chat. Bye
 
10:40 PM
I'm not evil, am I? It's just a beard!
 
What are you talking about? Beard? :4096732
It seems inequitable that my question on origin of word Idaho had been closed.
 
11:06 PM
Well you guys have fun, I'm out for today.
Over and out!
 
Awesome!
 
11:37 PM
@CarloR I'm pretty sure that when you include ":2309412" in a message not at the beginning, it doesn't ping the user.
Nor does anyone else know who you replied to.
