@Cerberus that was a special present just for @Rob, you silly. Just in case he happens to read that. He's a great fan of reading that.

I write for my audience.

I'd write for someone else's, but I've only got mine.

@Cerberus Mutato nomine de te fabula narratur

The both of you ...

@Gigili And that's an album for you as well then.

@RegDwigнt Blaaaah.

@Robusto That Latin looks correct!

But I was on your side! I think.

@tchrist That was famously used in Mick Jagger's defense when he was near to being sent to prison for drugs in the '60s.

@Cerberus Which side is that?

@tchrist yes, thank you!

Jofra Archer the England fast bowler is ____ than accurate.(Faster,More Fast,More Faster).

Which is correct?

@Robusto Mick Jagger is a butterfly now? Say what.

Send him to jail all the faster. Jails are totally lacking in butterflies, like.

@Gigili there are things that do not pertain to elephants? Name elephen.

@Mitch I really wanted you to say "ham for hands"

@user586228 "more faster" is wrong. No question. In many contexts "more fast" would be, maybe not wrong, but not preferred. However, this context more fast isn't being used to contrast Archer's speed with other bowlers', it's being contrasted with his accuracy, so "more fast" is the correct choice

compare it with "this apple pie is more pastry than apple" vs "this apple pie is apple-ier than that one"

"Jofra Archer is more fast than accurate" vs "Jofra Archer is faster than Shane Warne"

(sorry my knowledge of cricket is not large)

@MattE.Эллен your knowledge of cricket is way too large. I've never even heard of any of these people.

I would have assumed Jofra Archer to be, well, an archer.

And Shane Warne possibly a shepherd in Surrey.

@RegDwigнt perhaps he is, these days. is there a Surrey in Australia?

@RegDwigнt that too. too small to hold a conversation with my dad, too large for my actual interest in cricket

@MattE.Эллен Australia is all Surrey, mate, all the way, for a thousand miles every which way. Their only idea of entertainment is to occasionally put huge chunks of it on fire.

one big bbq

Fuck if I know. And I actually know exactly what these words mean.

I don't think those words translate into "retaining the unstressed "o" and "a"

@MattE.Эллен You know I was thinking it.

:D

@MattE.Эллен I don't think so either. Otherwise I would have just said "yes".

@Robusto what did you think?

Maybe people struggling with the nuances of AmE shouldn't try to explain what an American might mean, when it's simple, to another American. We're real good at simple. They should stick to complicated, what they're good at...politics or trig, something like that.
