That's what you get for trying to be too elaborate .
We could make a new tongue twister though.
Every elongated elastic escalade entirely entered escalators.

While this thread provided a lot of lols, I really shouldn't make anymore threads without serious descriptions into my body paragraphs. I mean I know my sentence structure and grammar is lacking substance, but I'm always willing to try harder!

i ain't never done seen nothin wrong with your gramma oar spellin.




Half the time I don't proof read mine and don't notice some weird crap until somebody quotes it and I see it and think "shit, did I really write that".
At least Ultra has given up trying to correct it all.


The only time anybody's writing style bugs me is when they ask "i m note sure if I should be a teecher or righter what do u guy think" or "i dreem of being a race car designe guy/driver so give me money". That is just pure lazy and will come across in future work.

I have had whole hour long meetings with engineers where I don't think 10 whole words were ever spoken. If it wasn't for acronyms we probably would have just sat staring at each other. Anybody listening in probably though we were speaking Klingon or something.

I guess it's back to riding you like a naked chick on a moose.

cdrazic93 04-15-2015 01:15 AM

I don't think I want to know.


You guys must be a riot at parties, although I bet your bedtime is 8:30-9pm? :thumbsup:

It's not really Klingon, probably closer to C++. I'd have to walk it through my math first though. I can be a rough translator, not my specialty.

When people like reporters say things like:

"We are still waiting to see whether in will rain...."
And I am left hanging waiting for the "OR SOMETHING ELSE"

The "whether" means "OF THE TWO OPTIONS", so it drives me bat-shit crazy when they use "whether" and there are NOT TWO OPTIONS.

if there is only one option USE "IF".

In those meetings I will slip in "we seem to be experiencing EOOA".
And wait for someone to say "WHAT?" and I answer with "Extreme Overuse Of Acronyms".

That is so annoying!

So point of clarification request:
Is it possible for a thread to go off topic if the topic of the first post has never once been mentioned?

No.

It is not possible.

Has anyone tried putting Cadillac badges on their FR-S? I think the lines are similar to those of the CT-S. Has anyone done this? If so post 'em up! I'll be posting pictures as soon as I figure out how to take my Scion badges off. Does anyone know how to do that without ruining the paint? I did a search but couldn't find anything. If anyone has a DIY guide for de badging feel free to post it here! Also, what's the paint code for "Cadillac silver"? Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification. That was what I thought but wasn't sure.
In all fairness Squads posts have leveled out and there are far, far worse that have taken his place!
