I have really no idea which side of the fence Cheeseminer is at. His meta question suggests heavy prescriptivism. (Except when it suddenly doesn't. But then does again.) Meanwhile his question on the main site suggests neither pre- nor descriptivism, but something with post modernism and freeforallism. Really hard to pin down.
Or perhaps his stance is exceptionally clear, only his communication isn't...
@Cerberus That's crazy talk. Everyone knows a fusion bomb cruiser at least of the size being built now don't have the mass to sustain a reaction long enough (even if you were lucky enough to get the planets in the right configuration) unless you sequenced the detonations at ...
Peace is abstract, yet I read a book called "A Separate Peace", and if one Peace can be separated from another, then there must be at least two Peaces, right?
@Cerberus I don't really accept that usage of traffics. I mean, it makes sense, but it seems extremely non-standard. Normally you'd just say "the traffic of Berlin and Amsterdam"
@Cerberus Another example of a plural with no singular! Like 'troops', or... that other word.
@Cerberus Oh please. The traffic in Berlin isn't great, but it's nowhere near as bad as Paris or London (both with their different problems), and neither compare with Amsterdam, whose traffic pattern is like a hypertrophied metastasized medieval village. With roads sized for of dung barrows, but with cars instead.
so these are actual questions and answers about opium that i found
Q: What is like? How does it feel? What does it taste like? I assume there are very few people who use yahoo answers who have smoked it, as it was more of a historical drug used in the victorian times.
A: First of all, it's not healthy to stereotype. I smoke different substance all the time, and I also get on yahoo.
@JSBձոգչ in the US, if you try to buy sudafed (a very mild antihistamine which happens to be useful for meth production) they limit the amount you can buy at one time, they check your ID and enter the amount you buy into a national database, so that you can't go next door and get some more.
@Cerberus NY style is not mediterranean crisp crust style. It's thin but a little too oily to stand p entirely on its own, that's why you have to fold it.
@Cerberus yes different styles.
@JSBձոգչ also you can't buy batteries and sudafed at the same time (something about using the battery acid as part of the process).
@Cerberus I have no idea. probably not send the authorities right away, but hold off until you're in a compromising position, watching Oprah or doing yoga.
