how about when someone refers to a strain of cannabis as a strand? i don't know if that word choice has any credence, but i don't like it.

Epitaph of John the smyth, died 1371

An epitaph from a monumental brass in an Oxfordshire parish church:[14]

man com & se how schal alle ded li: wen yolk comes bad & bare

bot yt ve do for god ẏs luf ve haue nothyng yare:
yis graue lẏs John ye smẏth god yif his soule hewn grit Translation by Patricia Utechin[14]
Man, come and see how all dead men shall lie: when that comes bad and bare,
we have nothing when we away fare: all that we care for is worms:—
except for that which we do for God's sake, we have nothing ready:
under this grave lies John the smith, God give his soul heavenly peace

Holy shit! That original text is like Gaelic or something. English has evolved much more than I thought over the last centuries. Pretty cool...

Strand is not a word.
While technically correct, strain is not really used with plants besides cannabis. Variety makes more sense to me.

How about reading any given thread on this site? By far the most blunderous of any board I've been on.

Brilliant, and delivered with an edge. I think I love you...

ya know Tyler, you opened up a very interesting and important subject here. Linguistics. This is gonna be good shit.

What's that they say about a cunning linguist again? Sort of like the cunning runt?

 

[Unclebaldrick]

I read lips.

 

[Hookabelly]

Any discerning ear can hear the difference. The minute someone says,

"So Anyways, …."

-OR-

"All's I know is…."


I mentally just dismiss them…

Sorry but it's true. I'm still smiling and polite but they're done. (not there done or their done)

What about "blow'd up"? The first time I heard someone say that with a straight face I almost died.

"I ain't put $2500 into this truck. I got it for $1000 cuz the engine blow'd up"

Fucking Texans...

And we give them a gun? That's fucking scary. How do they get through the manual when something goes awry?

I've had idiots look at me funny when I use "converse" like you're supposed to. Instead of me saying "I was conversating with this guy" like a dumbass would.
