  • This is a way in which you can discredit any attempt at proposing correct or logical language use

    It absolutely is not. You're just talking out of your ass.

    The same one that you are, in fact, showing when you demand that the personal preference of some random stranger is the way that everyone has to talk from now on. Ludicrous.

  • That isn't a grammatic rule. Some guy in the recent past was like "I think it sounds better that way." It was his personal preference.

    That's all.

    They've always been used interchangeably, for as long as English has been a written language.

    People who love to "correct" this are just showing ass to anyone who knows any better haha.

  • I first read it when I was like 15, tapped out in book 3.

    Read it again as an adult, enjoyed it immensely, still missed a great deal of what was happening.

    Third time I started to really start to plug into what Gene was laying down.

    I've read it maybe 6 times now and I pick up new details and meanings every time.

    Obviously that's a whole lot if you don't find value in the journey itself, and it's not like I'm recommending it or anything haha. I always tell people to start with his short stories. The Island Of Doctor Death And Other Stories is a great one.

  • How does their adult role model hitting them not just teach them that hitting is socially acceptable?

    Teaching this to a kid without empathy seems like the worst imaginable circumstance lol.

    And I sure as hell don't want someone other than the parents ever making that decision.

  • Thing's so top heavy he's gonna barely touch it and the whole thing will go toppling into the bathtub and instantly absorb 10x its weight in water.

    Just like that, 42 cents down the drain.
