  1. Re:A grammar nazi rally post? on Does Grammar Matter Anymore? · · Score: 1

    Article is a trollfeed.

    Trollfeed is a non-standard compound. Troll-feed is a mass noun. You also missed the definite article. You mean "The article is troll-feed".

    This discussion is about grammar. Pedantry is three doors down, on the left.

    If you are a British English user the Microsoft grammar checker will make thing worse, telling you to "fix" things to the American grammatical constructs. Things like the use of "that" or "which", organisations treated as singular, etc. are not fixed for British English.

    Most countries now have a ban on having humans as slaves so why not have a ban on animals as slave as well?

    Because that would be stupid.

    Why not ban having machines as slaves?

    British rednecks I know what you're trying to say, but this is a contradiction in terms. There is no sun in Britain to give anyone a red neck.

    Well, the wet collar could make your neck red and sore. Seriously though it is all too easy to get sunburn in summer in the UK, it often doesn't feel that hot but there is enough UV to burn!

    Just head to the deep south, you can travel entire counties without finding so much as a whole brain betwixt the entire population. Can't spread a disease without a vulnerable organ to house it. Just don't all come down all at once, it ruins the advantage.

    Rather links to this post

    So I can replace iGoogle with netvibes, we've established that. I'd now like to know how to let google know how displeased I am about their decision to cancel iGoogle. Does anyone have a link I can use to rant at google? I looked around google's help pages for a little while, with no success :-(

  21. Very impressive on Headlights That See Through Rain and Snow · · Score: 1
    The only downside is that there will be a "danger" period when some road users have them and some don't. Wise drivers will know that the other drivers are going slow because they cannot see as well, but plenty of idiots will tailgate drivers, overtake when it isn't safe, etc.

    I also wonder if it would be possible to create an "invisibility suit" with e-ink rain drops if you wanted to commit a crime near a busy road!

    Far better if they prevented idiots from getting behind the wheel. That would save many more lives.

    It would but the only realistic way to do that is to perfect driverless cars (which not many people would object to), then make the use compulsory (which a lot of people would object to).

    Well my dollars sure won't be bouncing around on Apple. Not only don't I buy anything from them, but even if in the future they were the only company selling computer devices left on the world, I'd actually just give up on computers.

    You win todays 'I shout I hate apple loudest' competition, if only you hadn't posted anonymously we'd know what a wonderful clear thinking troll you are

    No I hate Apple so much that if they were the only company selling computers and I had a time machine I would go back in time and warn the Beetles not to agree to share the name.
