Why the upcoming Sherlock Holmes adaptation...
renkris:
I’ve seen a kabillion interpretations of Hamlet. Compared to that, the changes in “Elementary” are friggin’ tame.
At the very least, I’m withholding judgment until I see it. I’ve seen some pretty bad Shakespeare adaptations, but I do like to wait and see this kind of thing before deciding if it’s bad or not.

I do drink sometimes, but I feel this way exactly about marijuana. Not a thing against it, just not interested at all. Im gonna probably use your pros and cons as a better way to explain myself next time. Just not enough benefits.
Haha, and I think disinterest is a perfect way to describe my feelings...

It’s nice to know there’s someone out there who doesn’t drink as well. I feel like everyone around me drinks.
In my experience, we do tend to be the exception. I don’t usually bring up my not-drinking, though, because it’s never seemed like that important a thing to me… It’s not...

Heh, well. I haven’t discovered anything, because I don’t ever try anything. No alcohol passes my lips, and I’m happy that way. As far as I know, I’m not missing anything. (Obviously, every person is different. But I see some...

You don’t drink?
Nary a drop! I have no problem with other people drinking, but I’ve never felt the urge to indulge myself.

“And why exactly did I decide to study this?”
I asked myself as I had to fight my way through MS Word’s special character jungle for each and every IPA symbol I had to insert into my text..
Fight no more! Here’s a handy website that lets you copy and paste the IPA symbols directly. You can even add diacritics!
OMG THANK YOU

20 Common Grammar Mistakes →
jasontatum:
No judgement here. I mess this stuff up all the time.
Calling these things “mistakes” — which you perhaps do not, but this article author has — is a judgment. They’re variant forms that deviate from the standard, but there’s nothing incorrect about them.

Against Big Bird, The Gods Themselves Contend In...
Scott Lynch:
I was a hard-core Sesame Street viewer from about 1979 to 1984, and my memories of the show are the sort of deep nostalgic tangle you’d expect, with a great deal of idiosyncratic noise blended into the signal. So, for many years, I carried around a vague but emotionally vivid recollection of a Sesame Street episode in which Big Bird and Snuffleupagus had witnessed the the...

lightspeedsound asked: 1) I have responded to your questions on racism/linguistics 2) I am pleasantly surprised that you are not angering me with your points, because in the hands of someone else, I would have probably already smacked you upside the head. Do you have special mind control or something? =P
