Guest guest Posted October 4, 2000 Report Share Posted October 4, 2000 >From the message strands it would seem there has been something of an Astanga coup here. All the sanctimonious facists are gone, or at least haven't posted for a while. Maybe Fubarr won't have to put them in a sack, maybe they've gon off the deep end on their own? Or maybe they're all at the same fundamentalist Astanga workshop, and will return to shame us all with even greater fervor. Ohh, I'm shaking with fear.<br><br>Now I will admit that I am something of a fascist myself, but only when it comes to the English language (don't know enough about the other ones to get fanatical in French, Spanish, Italian, etc). So, I absolutely CRINGE when I see someone use the non-word "irregardless." It's "regardless," plain and simple. It means the same, and it's a real word! I also have a small fit when I see "judgement." There really is no "e" between the g & m. Judgment. <br>Sorry about being so anal about all this. Words is my life.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2000 Report Share Posted October 4, 2000 C'etait une blague, leighbaz. At least I think that's the word for joke. Glad you're paying attention, though.<br>Yes, Sunshine, the shrub is a font of fumbles. Subliminable? Doesn't he even say nucular? He makes me cringe every time he steps up to the mike. (Or would be "mic" be more correct?)<br>Wow, Pinchy slipped one in while I was typing away. Threw a big rock in our placid pond. However, it is getting easier to just float over those ripples. Guess yoga fascism 101 is in recess. <br>Addresing his concerns, I, however, feel worse for those who get on the site and read all the nasty attacks and gleeful gossip, most of it about people most of us don't even know. Who cares about these people and what they do that some crank considers criminal? Waste of ether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 4, 2000 Report Share Posted October 4, 2000 Sunshine and Banda--I too cringe whenever george W. opens his mouth. What if that guy gets elected and has to have conversations with other heads of state? CRINGE! Anyway, I just wanted to make sure you guys knew about the Bushisms of the Day on www.slate.msn.com<br>very funny-turns cringes into laughs<br><br>hulasana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
