In the US, libertarianism is the "you can smoke pot all you want and not pay any taxes but you'd better be able to pay for all your health care and don't expect a fire department to keep your house from burning down" creed. Because, you know, Atlas Shrugged. — Robusto 2 hours ago

I don't do either. I only read MuseScore all day. Because I'm a moron.
> Hello,
Does anyone can share some jazz sheet music for accordion or manouch? I can share some also with you.
And yet I got the news even before Eric Idle did, apparently.

The problem with n-gram data is that it's very easy to distort the picture by overgeneralizing. In the charts @tchrist linked, things like "the tasks undertaken by our staff are..." would be included. More importantly, it's also case-sensitive for lowercase, even though sentences starting with "Our staff is/are" would be the least likely to be coincidentally adjacent. Just making the search case-insensitive already gives you a 2:1 "is" ratio for AmE and 2.6:1 "are" ratio for BrE. If we look case-sensitive for only "Our staff is/are" we get a whopping 6:1 "is" preference for AmE. — Kosmonaut 29 secs ago

@tchrist oh well. I did search for both the first and last name before making my bold claim.
But who the fuck cares because holy cow indeed it's indeed Kosmo.
Then again it's his own answer so maybe he's just keeping an eye on those.

@RegDwigнt Fricking TL fils is on the MSE chat server so your searches on this one fail; it's annoying.

Q: Do not express a sentence properly due to lack of vocabulary

EncipherI am searching for a specific phrase. Sample Sentence I am an avid reader so I go to our local library at least three times a week where I meet some other reader. Now here I cannot express the sentence properly due to lack of vocabulary. I want to mean that the people with whom I meet at the li...

Quite similar issues with this question.
Several, actually.
Certainly if you're an avid reader, you'd think of a better use for a library than meeting people.
And certainly if you're an avid reader, lack of vocabulary is not a thing in your vocabulary.
I'm an avid piano player, so I often sit at the piano to browse Instagram.
I'm an avid cyclist, so I often go to the velodrome to solve crosswords.

Q: It is Zelda's game or Zelda game

miggy92I don't know if it is right to say Zelda's game or Zelda game. If I think that Zelda is a collection of photos, videos, videogames I think that it is right to say Zelda's game

possessives apostrophe
What.
I think I need a break from this site. Lemme see what else is out there.
> [name] posted discussion "What I am suppost to upload ?"

Guys, I have a doubt. If I only contribute with sheets that I took the music with ears, or can I upload some sheets that I download or found on another site?
OIC. They just want me off the Internet altogether now.
