"Excellent! Through this door please. Next! Ok, what are your powers?"
"Well, I wield coupons to offer shoppers discounts when buying online."
"....rrrrrrrright. Next!"

IrishSS

My point exactly.

I'm sure Jenny holds a lot of weight with you... those ever abundant coupon powers... those can be scary when put into the wrong hands.


Good. Then shut-up already and quit replying.

The first thing I did was send a PM to GAM.

The second thing is that this is the description for the Suckage/Not-So-Suckage forum: "Need to get something off your chest, too many Dells deals got you down or just want to say nice things, this is the place to do it."

So please, don't get outraged like that when this is the right forum for me to say in a calm, factual manner what is on my mind. I definitely don't think I posted "****" ... if I were whining without any substantial evidence, sure, go ahead... but if you took a look everything I said, you would see that I explicitly outlined what the problem was.

At any rate, like I said, case closed on this.

Seriously, I could care less, depending on how little I care. Perhaps I care on a scale of 1-10 at 2, but then I could care down to a 1.5, or even 1.

Hmm I wonder if fatwallet is still filtered out at PCA due to Storm's promotional attempt there.

Yeah still is.

cheapie

yes but the intent of the phrase is to establish it's lack of importance in the things you care about.

usedillusion

true, but by using "it's" is it your intention to contract "it is" or indicate possession?

figured i'd join in the festivities

LPMiller

Oh please, let's not do this. This is one of the more pointless internet grammar fights period.

It means "I could care less, but it take effort that you're not worth," or "I COULD care less, but I doubt it," and is a regional phrase. It's not incorrect in that regard, only in a grammar sense, much like "Y'all". Since grammer is in fact a function of dialect shifts and regional phrasing (not the other way around) this is one of those things, like 'ain't' or 'irregardless' that over time becomes more accepted, if not actually proper.

Merlin

Seriously, it is not that hard to get right.

For f*cks sake dude, I can't always spell correctly and my grammar isn't perfect, but that doesn't ruin my "apparent" intelligence.

Man, some people will do ANYTHING to rip others down.

dang. busted. lol.



i was teasing him. and i'm suprised that someone as literate and articulate as you has no problem with a phrase being used incorrectly so often that the incorrect usage becomes an accepted part of our vernacular.



dude, wtf? who said it invalidates your intelligence. i even asked, kiddingly, how you could constantly screw that phrase up when you are intelligent. remind me to wear my asbestos suit whenever joking, commenting, or otherwise referring to you or your posts.

Woo a fight a fight. In this corner we have the lovely Jenny. Who rules the Gotapex forum with an iron fist. She likes to ride on high horses. Ladies and gentlemen she takes no crap from nobody. And in the other corner we have Irish and Ski. Their signature move is to whine and moan and quote stuff via the link option on the forum. Irish drinks too much and is always intoxicated and Ski just fell off the wagon. Let's have a clean fight here. No hitting below the belt and no scratching, eye gouching or hair pulling. Let's get ready to RUUMMBBLLLE! (me go run and hide)

Blame 2 years of lingustic courses. Because that's pretty much the birth of English in a nutshell. Old English didn't even use the same vowels we do now, and shifted to what we have today as a result of the reality of how people were speaking. You go 200 hundred years back, or 200 years forward, and you'll have some trouble being understood, the rules will have changed so much. And no, I'm not talking slang.

English is constantly in flux, and the rules of grammer change as a result, all the time. In fact, some have argued that the constant harping of so called 'grammer natzis' actually harms the growth of English. I don't think it matters either way, since it's not like there is a panel somewhere that decides how we all speak. We decide as a collective group in how we talk, and English teachers come after the fact.

U ARE ALL LOOSERS .. THIS IS THE FREKIN INTERNET ... Y WOULD U GET UPSET OVER IT ?

learn from me .. every one hates me on these boards and flames me and i dont give a ****.. jhiiizzzzz who careeeeeeees that your rank went down or whatever

cheapie

i understand that. but...i was only kiddingly chiding lk about constantly messing that phrase up. i'm semi-frustrated at the fact that people don't care whether or not they use the phrase correctly.

Merlin

Good points LP. However, when I read your post then the one after it it scares me to thing where the language might be going.

Wait-WE are all loosers? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

ski

Yeah, I'll be honest

Since Monday, I have been working on classes for about 16-18 hours each day. When you are as busy as I am earning a respectable degree, you have to include something else in your day aside from work and sleep. Some people have time for significant others or just cruising around... during the week, all I have time for is the "frekin internet"

8 am classes suck

I take an 8am over a 6 am and a 6 pm class..
At least my professors get me in the same state of mind.
