Your example is crappy, and you're pointlessly badgering the OP by ripping his sentences out of context. He explained that he thought it was easier because he was used to it. You don't need to pick it apart.
And to address your example, easier would be small, medium, and large, not dealing in hundreds of some arbitrary unit. People never refer to the "fluid ounces" in a drink anyway, unless to express that's it's especially large somehow (omg 32. oz! Holy shit, 64 oz!)
Don't try to reason or argue with trolls, especially AC ones. They thrive on the attention.
I actually contest that most people posting AC probably never even see your responses and subsequent attention. I know I usually don't wade through hundreds of comments again to see what new posts people have made since I first read the thread, unless I get an e-mail notification that someone has replied specifically to me.
You can generally pretty easily pop the bezel off an LCD monitor and adjust the button however necessary. Especially Dell monitors. At least to get it working until you can get a new part or replacement.
Bananas and cats are not proper nouns. We are not sprechen Deutsche. But you're right about the difference being between nouns and pronouns. I was just explaining to xaxa what Pojut was trying to express.
Some say that Idiocracy was a documentary sent back from the future, and that The Man needs a dumbed-down populace to keep the likes of Walmart and the current political system in business. All we know is that popular culture emphasizes dumbness over intelligence. Welcome to 2010.
If you wanted to get fancy, you could connect the last sentence with the previous via a semi-colon or something. But all these pauses and long pauses have no bearing on whether or not there should just be a plain old period there. It's up to the reader to dramatize if they're reading it aloud to someone or something.
Herp derp, Detroit's the capital of Africa, and Houston's part of Mexico, right?
What still "works," exactly? Just because some retard doesn't know any better doesn't suddenly make it "technically correct because I don't know any better."
It probably goes without saying that small accidents are more common than large ones. If women have more accidents in general, of course the number of small accidents is larger. You can only say "typically" like that because the numbers are so skewed. It has no bearing.

He was addressing the person that suggested 14-fingered aliens would prefer base 14, much the way that we as 10-fingered aliens prefer base 10.

If you had to have numbers, 1, 2, 3, and 4.
It's not really necessary to sincerely make corrections to obvious jokes.
It's simple. In Capitalism, man exploits man. In Communism, it's the exact opposite.
You see, the exact opposite of man exploits man, is man exploits man.
You see?

AC posting offers no such notification.
Seems affective.
It's Effective.
GooGle? Really?
How long have you been waiting to spring onto the scene and shout that?
The fact that you keep responding to trolls is why they keep coming. And why they're partially right.
No one really said anything was wrong about them suing him yet. You just couldn't think of anything to say but really wanted the first post?
I imported the Dreamcast broadband adapter, you insensitive clod!
Sure is uselessly biased anecdotes around here.
Doing without when it starts costing money makes perfect sense to me. Argumentum ad hominem is rarely the way to get your point across.

I think you may be the one whooshed here.
Final Fantasy Tactics and the entire Fire Emblem series suggests "not seen often," may not be entirely accurate. Both are pretty damned popular.
Jesus Christ, are you kidding me?

One person's embarrassingly poor sense of humor is another person's pointlessly racist show of ignorance.
Glad to see the mods are in with you, though.
