Hot Heart Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Hmm, maybe this needs its own thread. Or does that idea suck/blow? Although, parkway is an American thing. Edited January 6, 2011 by Hot Heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battra92 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Plurality in English is weird: I live in a house. My street has many houses. Mickey is a mouse. Mickey and Minnie are mice.

deanb Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Not sure if this counts but: It's also pretty good because it's amazing (and slightly scary) how long it took for Stephen Fry to hammer it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docsfox Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 You're damn dumb. Don't use a knife or knives to cut you're thumb. It's queer to fear a mirror around here. Where were their phones that they were used to using? How about we through in spellings of Asian words using roman characters? I always have a hard time remembering how to say 'pho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
