Interesting, but don't you think this one's a bit odd Magenta?
I mean, i know that the English language has a lot of shortcuts and a lot of them make sense like "You Are" when it's turned into "You're" because we're busy busy busy and we ain't got time to say the whole thing. But in this case it seems like people are taking a good idea and sentence and chopping it at the legs and turning it into a handicapped sentence. So now the sentence is in crutches.

It's sad to see the de-evolution of the English language in the past 30 years where a lot of people are creating word salads.
I think the evolution of the English language would be with hieroglyphs or emojis like the Egyptians used to have. The highest form of expression. :)

I agree... I think we have skirted this topic before, too, in regard to people using mixed
metaphors, or the wrong word in a euphemism, not knowing what they are saying at all. .:censored:

I saw @Niki7 , @ThereRoseaLamb and @HeIsHere talk about how this site used to be years ago, so i went to the Internet History archives to see how it looked.
I love the whole 90s look of the web. :)

Also, take a look at how AOL looked back in 1996. Awww so cute. Free of flat earth conspiracy theories too. :love:

I still have a backup heater which is a 2 stack electric from the 60s. It pulls a lot of juice but its pure joy to sit by when its below freezing.

the 2nd & 3rd projects are complete at our Northeast home. now, as Christians, we all should know that the money belongs to God & i do know that. so, this week, our new shower & central air system have been installed. that & the new washer-dryer system were the most important. now, next week we're getting our original Edison Hotpoint stove updated. to arrive soon is a new refrigerator & my wife's brand new Subaru Outback. it was a blessing when our old washer decided to pass on. we cogitated on a review of issues & little by little, they will be completed. & finally, after 3 weeks of very hard work in our jobs, we're getting away today at the Merc in Saratoga for breakfast & venturing out to the sites. my dad always taught me to do my work 1st & play later. he's so right. lot's of wisdom there. oh, btw, happy father's day to all the CC dads!!! i never had kids but can realize some of the sacrifice involving being a Christian dad. & some of you are selfless, always thinking of your kids 1st!!!! amazing!!!!

Welp, I got banned from a reddit board because I said that gays were bullies because thats the way they were acting and they sent me a message that said they were going to bully me by banning me (in not very nice language) so I guess I proved my point.

Yeah. I gave up on Reddit after a 'Christian' page banned me for saying "Love the sinner; hate the sin," or actually just respectfully disagreeing privately to the mods before I ever posted. Apparently summarizing the gospel message is homophobic.

Donald means "World Leader."

Ronald means "Counsel rule." (Looking at you, DeSantis)

Joseph means "He will add."

Trump in cards means "any playing card of a suit that for the time outranks the other suits, such a card being able to take any card of another suit."

Biden means "From The Shadow Valley" or "Button Maker."

Reddit, or any site on the internet is basically someone's house rules.
The boss of the site or the house decides the tone and the rules. Sometimes the boss is a board of trustees and shareholders.

To date, the best takeover reaction of this rule was Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter.
The liberals identified as Was/Were after that takeover.

Ah, Elon Musk. His Twitter takeover just might have been an answer to a request I made of God. The irony being that I haven't been back to Twitter/X since before he was there. I tried I few times but they wanted me to change my password, and I guess I didn't want my account back bad enough to comply.
