Contingency Measures Against Star Wars Spoilers

With respect, Morrus, there is nothing "sudden" about this.

It is only more visible now because we are talking about the largest pop-culture event in years, possibly ever.

The latter is what the former means. Sometimes, I think colloquial speech really goes over your head, Umbran!

I once accidentally spoiled the breaking bad ending to a friend who was talking like they had seen it (and it was some time after it ended).

Ah, yeah, Breaking Bad was another one!

As long as you guys don't mad at each other

Unlikely to happen!

Um, boss? I think you're the one who frequently posts that he doesn't understand our crazy moon language...

As if I would have survived in my role this long if I got mad, pretty much ever?

I saw you guys bicker that one time. It was like watching parents who were on the path to getting a divorce if I had parents to have watched bicker.

on that topic, a friend of mine had done some research, and some of the US's crazy accents (like maine, NY, and hillbilly) came from specific areas in great Britain (or whatever y'all call that islandy thing that isn't europe, asia, india, africa or here).

even the phrase "y'all" traced back to a certain region over there.

So, technically, we are speaking "normal" it's just that we kept all the old ways of talking while Morrus-landians moved on.

How does Morrus like his homeland (presuming that) to be called by us? I've already misspelled it too many times.

I happened to be taking a long-weekend vacation to New York, around the time that both The Matrix and The Phantom Menace were hitting cinemas there, some time before I could expect to see either in the UK. I'd barely even paid attention to the Matrix hype, and would have gone into it completely cold if I hadn't made the mistake of reading the Empire Magazine review, which spoiled the basic premise on the assumption that anyone interested in the movie would already know about it.

I did get to see both movies during my trip. I was looking forward to The Phantom Menace far more, but I'm sure you can guess which one I enjoyed.

For The Force Awakens, I carefully avoided all the hype, reviews and articles, but was still hit by one major spoiler simply because some ass decided it'd be funny to post it in the comments to a completely unrelated Youtube video just because he could. No matter how cautious you are, there's always a risk.
