CarolAnn 926 Posted December 4, 2006 Definately guilty, why do so many people misspell this simple word? *snip* I think one reason is because it tends to be pronounced wrong. The 'i' tends to be more drawn out into an 'a' or 'u' sound - so people spell it the way they pronounce it. My theory, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunjaman5000 30 Posted December 13, 2006 The expression and therefore those who use it, 'years young' when referring to someone of very advanced years, for example "My uncle is ninety years young". It is patronising for the oldie and goes against all measures of common sense and etymological decency. I can hardly contain my rage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is patronising for the oldie and goes against all measures of common sense and etymological decency. I can hardly contain my rage What if it's used in a sarcastic sense instead of meaning to be endearing ie: "Augusto Pinochet sure got justice, dying at only 91 years young." versus "My great-grandma is 104 years young!" ?

I can hardly contain my rage What if it's used in a sarcastic sense instead of meaning to be endearing ie: "Augusto Pinochet sure got justice, dying at only 91 years young." versus "My great-grandma is 104 years young!" ? Line 'em up and shoot 'em. In "a sarcastic sense" is as valid a defense as "I was drunk your honour", that it's meant to be endearing is even worse. It's up there with 'you're only as old as you feel', an expression I've never heard used by anyone over thirty. "You're only as old as the woman/man you feel" is the only thing worse. Sarcastic or endearing CP? I can't make out which. Edited December 13, 2006 by Gunjaman5000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,233 Posted December 16, 2006 The Royal Mail. They came to deliver a parcel at 11.15am today but no-one was 'available' to open the door. So they posted one of those cards through the letter box. The card read that the parcel could be uplifted from the post office 3 hours after the stated 11.15 time. So some time later (about 1.30PM) I was preparing to leave to pick up the parcel. Only one problem - It was Saturday, the post office closes at 1PM on a Saturday! I was fizzing! It's a good job I noticed the closing time before I left the house. But why do that - honestly. They could have at least written 'pick up on Monday' rather than '3 hours from now'. Bloody fools. Wouldn't be so bad but I paid extra for next day delivery...I should ask for a refund - not my fault I wanted a long lie today. I was damned if I was answering the door in my 'night wear'.

Windsor 2,233 Posted December 16, 2006 Windsor, your life sounds a living hell. Indeed, I'm starting to think there may be something to this Karma thing. I made a christmas card for the staff at my work last week. It had a picture of Santa on the front and was very pretty (5 minute job). I thought they would appreciate the effort. Inside I wrote 'I made this beacause I can't afford to buy you a card with my crap wages'. It was taken down by the office staff and I was warned that it would have been an instant dismissal had the boss found it. It just so happens that the card had a jibe towards the office persons children who are getting the 21 minimum wage at 15 and 16 when I had to wait until I was 19 years and 1 month old to get that. I may make another one tomorrow. Inside will read, "I made you this card because I cannot afford to buy you one due to socio-economic reasons which may not be discussed in the premises of [insert company]". If they do sack me it will give me an added insentive to find a new job. I've been going to do that for about a year and a half now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
