Wrong thread, dude. The "I didn't pizza in that thread" thread is that way. ===>

Actual exchange I had earlier tonight.

Him: I'll just wear a baklava.
Me: A baklava is a dessert. You mean a balaclava.
Him: I don't care. I only respect the English language.
Me:

I really had hoped to like this guy early on. He seemed intelligent. He's a gamer and into Warhammer 40k. The more I get to know him, the more I dislike him. He's racist, xenophobic, homophobic, and transphobic. I've heard him reference Glenn Beck and Alex Jones.

English language? You mean the Teutonic dialect that has been mugging REAL languages for hundreds of years and stealing their words?

Bring some baklava to work, and wax eloquently about its origins in the Ottoman Empire.

Then switch to how balaclavas were named after a battle in the Crimea where the Brits were struggling to keep warm due to logistical cock-ups.

NOTE: don’t underestimate bigots as being unintelligent. I’ve met too many who were quite sharp, and dismissing that possibility puts you at a disadvantage.

More like going out on Viking raids to pillage them...

I had some really good salmon last night. Brown rice and broccoli rounded out the meal.

What's wrong with this sentence? (Other than the fact that we live in a world where someone actually had to write it.)

"Police have identified a young boy found dead in a box in the US state of Philadelphia more than 60 years ago."

This is from a BBC article. The frickin' BBC...

Why are they writing about finding a dead boy in a box 60 years ago? Isn't there something more recent?

This was regarding the us over infamous Boy in a Box murder from 60 yeasts ago. They exhumed him for DNA testing, but the DNA was so degraded it took them nearly 3 years to be able to match it. The results just came in.

His parents have passed, but he has living siblings.

His killer is probably deceased as well, but this will give the cold-case detectives something to work with.

Do you mean about how the “60 years“ phrase should have preceded the one about location? It’s English- either sentence formulation is at least colloquially correct.

English isn’t a proper language, remember?
