The "I don't want to talk about AI" thread, and the new topic is: yolking around again

[MillieDynamite]

The palaver did nothing to levigate my discomfort with his unwanted attetions. For a moment, I ruminated on slitting his throat, but the thought of cleaning up the imbruement on the carpet put me off the idea.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Okay, tag, someone else is it on the strange verbs discussion. I've bespoken about all of those I can rememorate.

 

[KittyOfSteele]

The thing about English verbs that really makes me tense is the fact that English has tense times, whereas Spanish doesn't. Why are you making things tense, English? Do you want to torture me, or do you want to be tortured?

 

[MillieDynamite]

Past perfect is passive-aggressive.

Past perfect is a bitch! Spanish has past perfect too! And future perfect, which is outright mockery!

Past perfect is passive-aggressive.

Both. The answer is both. The English language is a bastard, born and bred, and created, recreated- a bastard language that bastardizes other languages as it goes and spreads like a virus around the globe corrupting everything it comes in contact with, or borrows from.

So yes, it wants to torture you and be tortured in return. It's also very flexible in a lot of ways, so maybe the perfect language for Lit?

Both funny and not funny I guess.

La verdad es que el mejor idioma para escribir es este. Y si inglés me quiere torturar, tiene que pagar su impuesto primero. Aquí no doy mi fusta de gratis.

I always thought it was very naïve for English to have a "past perfect."

The past, very clearly, is not perfect. And I sincerely doubt the future will be either.

Present's great, though. No complaints.

I like presents too.

Everyone here, your nonsense is a wonderful present to me

Honestly? You and your knowledge and humor, and HOW you relate those two things to others has been a gift, much needed, to the AH; so thank you!

Thanks! It's been quite a journey. Ever since I strode in here a few months ago, I was smitten with how much wisdom was lying around. I'm very glad nobody forsook me right out of the gate, I've felt very welcome, and have certainly drunk my fill of tidbits. And I appreciate that nobody has mollycoddled me, they told it to me straight, and helped to transmogrify my writing into something all the better.

That keeping with your dang thread, @StillStunned, or was I too verb-bose?

The best one is the perfect present.

 

[TheLobster]

And future perfect, which is outright mockery!

What say you about future in the past then, not to mention future perfect in the past?

Last night, I had a dream, where it was vitally important that I know the water tension of tears, and I did not. O.O We were all doooomed! Thankfully, it was just a dream.

Tense times to have...

Imagine that being a riddle in an escape room.

While I do have some pretty crazy dreams, most entries would probably be a long the lines of, "I dreamed of a cat, it was pretty."

It might've been! I do love escape room puzzles and I can't really remember what the dream was about. Just that me not knowing this impossible to know thing had doomed us all. XD

When in doubt, throw an axe at it; I imagine that would solve quite a few problems

 

[NuclearFairy]

For those who might be (but probably aren't) curious! The surface tension of water is 72 mN/m, and tears are between 42-46 mN/m. No I don't quite understand what mN/m is, I'm working on it.

Remember, no one can assoil us, so we agglutinate together, or have our necks distended to the snapping point separately.

 

[MillieDynamite]

For clarification purposes, Assoil: To absolve or pardon, Agglutinate: To join or stick together, Distend: To stretch. All together, it's Ben Franklin's warning to his fellow signers of the Declaration of Independence, "We either stick together or surely will hang separately."

What if my spouse is allergic to gluten?

In the words of Marie Antoinette, "Let her eat cake, and rush her to the Emergency Department in the middle of the night!"
