Abbreviations

There's often a silent 'P' in swimming pool

 

You're missing the point. Without recourse to such definitions we'd
have to accept all the horrible merkin spellings and usages, many of
which are abhorrent. Therefore we should be as pedantic as possible
about language, whether there's a "good reason" or not

FWIW I do think there's value in the term "acronym", not so much to
describe an existing one, but to define new ones. If I'm trying to
think of a name for a new application system, for instance, I'd want
to use an acronym rather than just a set of initials.

Me too. Shite word, it is.

 

.... but you're feeling so much better now he's upgraded to addzull, yes?

 

Yurr, I hates that, I does. Nearly always septics though.

Never heard either of them, mind.

 

I couldn't eat a whole one.

 

Well I think you do know why you are so intolerant but you're just not
going to say anything about it here.

 

On this or any other fora.

 

my experience is that the RDBMS is "sequel server" but when actually
talking about the language, it's ess-queue-ell.

 

given that we've met each other, I think there's a checksum error
there somewhere.

 

So it's nothing to do with

a) your view of your own intelligence relative to that of others.
b) family upbringing - wasn't your father a policeman or have I got that
wrong? Perhaps his recollection of his encounters with society coloured
your view?
c) events in your life
d) your education
e) information / thoughts / philosophies that you have read
f) an essential part of becoming a French national

I'm just amazed that you, of all people, have not actually stopped and
considered something that seems to be such an important part of your
view on life and why it is like it is. From where I sit your apparent
ignorance simply does not ring true and don't quote "I'm a lazy bastard"
as an answer as I don't believe that either - at least in this context.

 

Mine too.

 

How, exactly, do you reconcile this with your well-known views on
capital punishment?

More to the point, why haven't you committed suicide yet?

 

Maybe "exterminated" is a little known French acronym which does not
mean what we think it means.

 

It's a fucking abreviation. Of someones life in this case.

Death by cloudy stuff. Fanfuckingtastic.

Last TOGTour, Sarah and I got to the bar a bit late, and the rest of the mob
had made significant inroads on the beer front, and all the beer glasses
were out. Pas de probleme: "Deux Ricard, SVP". Barman visibly clocks me as
a cut above the rest of the scroty rosbif bikers )

Soon, they were all at it. I think Fr Jack had a bottle to himself...

 

That would be the evening he re-decorated the bath, right?

Who was it was sharing with him?

 

An extremely dischuffed Prawn, who decamped to the sofa in reception.
