now whistler is putting on, (and splitting) airs.

Good, and one more?

if you think this is an english lesson you really are splitting Hairs, Hares, Heirs, Airs, and Errors whistler.

can we knock it off and let the thread die now. :P

Actually, since the ancient greeks (and probably before), Very few educated people actually thought that the earth was flat. Its a myth that has been propagated by Elementary school education regarding the bravery of Columbus.

In fact, the size of the earth was determined BY the ancient greeks using the systematic difference in the length of shadows in different areas of the globe... they got the number pretty spot on.

Shape must've watched Cosmos last night like I did. The bit about Eratosthenes and the shadows of sticks and all...

I was going for "err", but close enough.

haha, look what I found...



I could apply this to a lot of people... they drive me nuts with their wandering apostrophes.

Wandering apostrophes? are they kinda like wandering monsters, or maybe unidentified random encounters?

Youre so picky, Cun'jo.

more like

Its/It's <-- this one drives me nuts....
Things/Thing's <-- how is it that so many people don't know the difference between a plural and a possessive?
Ships/Ship's/Ships'/Ships's <-- The first is NOT a possessive, the second is NOT a plural, and the fourth is WRONG

The one that gets me is "loose/lose", personally.

Or "Ayn<-- best Pker"

Or "Pirates FTW"

Buncha idiot statements.

Or, perhaps:

cu'te... ver'y cu'te... =P
