gwnn Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 BTW what's wrong with saying just "Forum"? It's not like we have 8 different cardgames here. I never understood the point of the plural here (even though I probably always use it myself). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 BTW what's wrong with saying just "Forum"? It's not like we have 8 different cardgames here. I never understood the point of the plural here (even though I probably always use it myself). There are many sub-forums that can be viewed as their own forum. I would think "this forum" refers to the sub-forum, and "these forums" refer to BBF. Of course on BBF everyone posts on every forum because everyone is advanced/expert but...

pooltuna Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 I gotta admit it tilts me when people say "fora" it's like they're trying to sound smart when really they sound pretty dumb. I flat out didn't know what the plural was but it seemed like a logical extension so I just started using it. I guess I will use forums from now on. I never reflected on whether or not the intent was to "sound intelligent" as successful communication was my sole intent and I assume that intent from other users as well.

jjbrr Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Well. I got a minor in Latin, so I think it's a bit unfair to say people who say Fora are just trying to be smart. Some of us just do it out of habit. I'm guilty of using both forums and fora, and I would never suggest that one is right and the other is wrong.

OleBerg Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 When you're eating a sandwich, halfway through you should flip the sandwich over so the top becomes the bottom. It will taste different. If it is to challienging for your motor-skills, try a left-handed sandwich. When you make it, simply turn everything 180 degrees, and you will experience what a lefhanded person experiences, eating a normal sandwich.

OleBerg Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 A professor walks into a lecture hall and finds 25 students sitting there. He says "I bet $100 that any two of you share the same birthday (day + month)" Assuming you or the professor has no advance knowledge of students birthdays, would you take on the bet with the professor? A Philosopher walks into a seaside hotel. "I would like a room with a point of view." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OleBerg Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 As long as we are talking football, how about that Cardinal's we have talked about the real football :blink: If it's "real" football, how come the goalie gets to use his hands? What americans call football, is a sissy's game. - Everybody is covered with extensive padding. (Wouldn't want to feel any pain at all.)- Everytime anyone has run 10 yeards, everyone stops to catch their breath.- If you are to clumsy to hold on to the ball, you get three more tries. No, take a point blank hard-shot soccer ball directly into you balls, just to have your team lose with three goals instead of four, then we might discuss it.

ggwhiz Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Speaking of sissy games: Soccer, Touch an opponent and he goes down like he was shot. Baseball, These guys go on the dl with bruised feelings. Basketball, Many other sports have the butt slap but if you miss your first free throw, your buddies come over and give it a little cup and feel to improve your mood? Hockey, get 6 teeth knocked out and get back on the ice in time for your next shift! Bobby Baun once played 1/2 a game on a broken leg. Football, Ronnie Lott mashed up his little finger in the playoffs and to avoid missing time on the field had it immediately amputated.

OleBerg Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I'm not sure you know what that word means. I assumed it was used with this meaning (From Urban Dictionary): "Clearly one of the greatest adverbs in the English language. Can be used at the start or tacked onto the end of absolutely any - and I mean ANY - sentence for emphasis, adding that extra-special pretentious feeling that one desires in one's speech. Used particularly when the speaker would like to make the person being addressed feel that what is being said is purely common knowledge and that they are utterly retarded for not already knowing it or for disagreeing with it."Clearly, you don't know what the ***** you're talking about.

mike777 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 American Football players do seem to have alot of injures considering almost all of them play 6 minutes a week or less of football and they are in super shape. The entire game is only about 12 minutes of play. As for baseball players, ya...the get hurt all the time from just sneezing or taking out the garbage. Can anyone say I got a blister and cant play for a few weeks. AGain these guys are in great shape but get hurt all the time. -- Soccer players do take the oscar for acting.
