All this bickerin could cause the big robot to awaken so remember to say Klaatu barada nikto if he does.

Hail to the king, baby.

Or, being an Agronomist, Glysophate instead of GLYPHOSATE (the active ingredient in Round Up herbicide).

That reminds me of another one.

Nuclear is pronounced "nuke-lee-er", not "nuke-ya-ler". Hate that. Makes me itch.

Sadly, most of them can't.

 

[Overclock]

Oh are we on to pronunciation now?

Often has a silent, 't'.

 

[Philbert]

'Chainsaw' or 'Chain Saw'?

'Chain' or 'Blade'?

'Tooth' or 'Cutter'?

'Raker' or 'Depth Gauge'?

'Safety Chain' or 'Low Kickback Chain' (or some of the other things that some guys on this site call it)?

Pretty soon we won't be able to call a 'cylinder' a 'jug' on this site!

'Philbert' or 'Filburt'

Used to work with a woman who spoke of "touching basis"...

Oh, you don't want to get me started ....

Drive SAFE! Really? What happened to "safely"?

And people don't "graduate high school" they "graduate FROM high school"

OK, my meds are starting to take effect (or is it affect?)

Keep 'em coming. I'm enjoying this!! I'd rather hear nails on a blackboard than hear, "have went"??!?

We were talking about posters deserving recognition on another forum. I listed a few deserving recognition for their inciteful posts.

Some thought it was an error . . .

The pluperfect tense, formed in English with the past participle of a verb and the auxiliary had, as had learned in the sentence He had learned to port a chainsaw by the end of the semester. Also called past perfect. Now we constipate a verb....

 

[z71mike]

Ahh the participle. As in, "the soldier marched armed..."

 

[treesmith]

So who would change the oil if you had an English car, like an MG, or Land Rover?
