Things you just don't get - Page 287

I sometimes feel that scout is the most versatile, perhaps ultimate class. Then I remember that even the best scouts are completely useless against even a decent engineer.

Well, I'll let the big guy do the dirty work, then jump in the action and get rid of that little bugger.

Played CS since 1.1 on my friend's computer, worked a summer job and built a rig for 1.3.

Some are naturally good, some grind it out. I was always pretty good and just never played a TON. I play BF3 once a month or so and usually end up with a good KDR and in the top 3 for points. The class with the Med kit is by far the easiest to rack up points on player only maps. Engi and get a lot of points on the tank ones. Recon can be really good on the smaller maps (shotgun and the motion sensor).

That's freaking hilarious, but I'll bet he stole off a junkie who OD'd.

I just heard a sentence that put me in mind of this thread. A person said "I read a article about that." It seems almost impossible to me that a person would not know when to use "a" and when to use "an." (I mean in English.) When people do it wrong, are they just being silly, like when I say "irregardless?" Or do they really not know? I am awaiting a answer from an smart poster.

I have one of those questions too. Why do some of you guys end questions with a dot. (see what I did there?)

Why di'n't you axe the speaker?

^^

 

I dunno.

In the handful of forums I regularly read there are multiple instances where people don't use a/an correctly. I'm not surprised that it carries over to every day life.

What seems so odd about a/an errors is that the wrong choice just sounds so wrong. "A article" sounds so much worse, and is much harder to say, than "an article."

An horse an horse my kingdom for an horse.

I do not understand why people believe if they repeat their objections to me enough times it will suddenly invalidate my decision or make their position correct when it is demonstrably not.

also, louder arguments are more persuasive.

Emphatic gesturing also improves things.
