Ahhhhhh, stop typing that!

And loot the body. Can't forget that part.

"Get all from corpse. Bury corpse"

And I wholeheartedly concur with the absurdity of "nucular" ...

Some people who say "nucular" do it to irritate their enemies.

By the way, is there still anyone among us who isn't aware of engrish.com?

In RPG discussions it often annoys me how often I heard about cannons. Not the things that go *boom*, but as in "Greyhawk canon."

However, I did get to use them together recently. The recent Xen'drik Expeditions fastplay characters poll has a warforged called "Cannon" supposedly because it's like artillery. However, there isn't gunpowder in Eberron. So I got to point out that "cannons aren't canon in Eberron."

Cannon vs canon.




Cannon wins.

What kind of froo-froo MUD have you been playing?

Get all.
Sac corpse.

The word is nuclear. Because it's used to refer to a nucleus, not a nuculus.

From Dictionary.com:

"Since /-kliər/, the common pronunciation of ‑cle·ar, might also be represented, broadly, as /-kləyər/, the /-kyələr/ pronunciation can be seen as coming from a process of metathesis, in which the /l/ and the /y/ change places. The resulting pronunciation is reinforced by analogy with such words as molecular, particular, and muscular, and although it occurs with some frequency among highly educated speakers, including scientists, professors, and government officials, it is disapproved of by many."

I actually grew up with the /NOO-kyələr/ pronunciation (on army bases, no less), and didn't lose it until I moved to the south-east as an adult. I also seem to remember it being presented as a valid alternative pronunciation in one of my college dictionaries (I think it was American Heritage, but I could be wrong).

Oh, I remembered another one:

"I, for one, welcome our blah blah blah..."

Man, this pisses me off. It was funny the first time I saw it, and maybe the second or third two. Now it seems like someone has to throw it into every damn thread. Yawn.

I, for one, welcome our new Simpsons quoting overlords.



Sorry, too easy.

Remembered another one.

"Pwned!"

Yes, I know that I mentioned leet-speak already, but this is even worse than normal. Every time I see someone talk about "pwned" or "pwning," I want to shppt them in the tprsp and let them bleed tp death.
