Idea for for new forum

[BennyST]

see you just wasted, what 12 mins correcting me? and you still dont have a single valid argument.

the worlds knowledge of spelling and grammer is only going to help you on your resume, and sending company e-mails.

I don't need a valid argument because there is no argument. I could care less is saying the opposite of what you mean. What is the difference between could and couldn't Sully? In terms of correct usage of English, it's wrong. Period. If you can't understand that, then you're right, nothing I say will change your mind.

Failure to grasp the English language at such a simple, basic level is honestly sad. Arguing that the term I could care less means I couldn't care less or that it comes from I could careless? I could careless makes so little sense that I don't even know where to begin with that. Come on man. Really? Think about that for just a moment.

What meaning do you get from I couldn't be hungrier? Do you see it as meaning that someone is completely full and couldn't possibly eat more? Or does that mean to you that they are starving and so hungry that they just couldn't possibly get any hungrier?

What about I couldn't be bothered? Would you say I could be bothered instead?

Instead of just assuming it's right because it's what you say, why don't you try to actually think about what each word means and how it relates to the whole phrase?

Another basic English reference. Could and couldn't don't mean the same thing Sully.

Maybe the dictionary isn't giving you a valid argument though.

I couldn't care less, cause i care too much!!!!

and with one sentance everything you said is shot down.

and if your actualy comparing the two, its I couldnt be bothered less, or i could be bothered less.

as i could not be bothered isnt a double negative while I could NOT care LESS is, so we must go with I couldnt be bothered less or i I couldnt not be bothered.

get it?

so what does it mean to you if i said I Could be Bothered Less? stop bothering me, or come one come all i have plenty of free time?


look at it like this, 2+2=4!!!!!!!, did you take some time to read that? are you thinking about math and 2's and 4's? did you perhaps double check to make sure i said 4 not 5 in an effort to trip you up?

but do you really care at all about 2+2=4?

there is inherient caring in any situation you would respond with "i Could care Less" other wise you would just keep walking and wouldnt find your self saying "I could care less"

so does it really mean i dont care at all? no its a stupid and wrong assumption made by people trying to sound smart around their friends that say I Could Care Less. it means:

thank you, thank you for making me think about this completly pointless topic that just wasted 2 mins of my life.

I could care less, it not a double negative like I couldnt Care Less....bad english, it dosnt infer that you care a whole lot it dosnt infer that you dont care at all.

all it says is that you care atleast a little bit and that had you never stoped to listen you life would have gone on all the same.


and in the event your confused, the top part, thats there to point out that I Couldnt Care Lesss is wrong, and the second part with 2+2=4 thats to show i could care less is correct.

You're taking the piss right? Right?

You might wanna go brush up on some simple grammar Sully mate. Especially the use and understanding of what a double negative is.

[Xyei]

how do you know they arnt saying "i Could Careless"? as careless means to be carefree.

Are you kidding me? That would make even less sense than "I could care less." Don't even start with me on this. Saying "I could care less" is completely wrong. I read your silly post and it doesn't change a thing. If you could care less then that means that you must actually care a little, which isn't the point people are trying to make when they use this ridiculous statement. They mean they could not care any less about the said topic.

I understand the difference but then again I have a degree in English lol. The one that drives me nuts is "irregardless".....no, it's just "regardless". "Irregardless" is essentially a double-negative :chuckle9:

This guy I used to work with dropped "irregardless" on me once. I corrected him and he was a bit baffled. That one always kills me too and it's amazing how many people use it.

This is the one of the most ridiculous posts I've ever read.

I could care less

see what im saying is that i read your post, wasted some time, put some effort into reading it, then i went as far as to tell you:

thank you for posting that but my life goes on all the same regardless.

all in the nice little phrase, I could care less

no but really, the compliments on my absurdity are some the best replies i get.

What's a pirate minus the ship?
Just a creative homeless guy
And an anteater plus a large hungry mutant ant?
An ironic way to die

And what's domain, domain, range (xxy)?
A kid with too much in his pants
And two balls minus one?
Seven titles at the Tour de France

Split a decision with long division,
Take the circumference of your circumcision
Live like your data when you're all "set"
Put it all together and whater you get.

It's new math...

What's a bag of chips divided by five,
Well that's a Nike wokers' meal
And Santa Clause multiplied by "I"?
Well I guess that makes him real

And the square root of the NBA
Is Africa in a box
How do I trace a scatter plot?
Give the pencil to Michael J Fox

Take the approximate moral proportion
Of the probable problem of a pro-life abortion
Live like your data and when you're all "set"
Put it all together and whatever you get...

It's new math.

And if you made a factor tree
Of the factors that caused my girl to leave me
You have a tree...
Full of Asian Porn

See AL, see you later
Mathematical minds make industrial smog
And what's the opposite of ln(x)
Duraflame - the unnatural log.

Support the farmers with a pro-tractor,
Link Kennedy and Lincoln with a common factor
Live like your data, and when you're all "set"
Put it all together and whatever you get...

It's new math.

Word Problems

If there's a fat guy in a pastry shop
With a twenty dollar bill and he's ready to buy,
In order to predict his volume change
You'll need to know the value of pi

And there's a metal train that's a mile long
And at the very back end a lighting bolt struck her,
How long 'til it reaches and kills the driver,
Provided that he's a good conductor,

And if ten percent of men are gay,
And twenty percent of men are Chinese,
What are the odds that a man chosen at random
Spends his free time at mealtime while on his knees

And if Kim is half as old as Bobby
Who is two years older than twelve year old Tori,
For how many more 30 day months
Will their threesomes be considered statutory rape.

Because math can be sexy

Cause having sex is like quadratic expansion
If it can't be split then it's time to stop,
And having sex is like doing fractions,
It's improper for the larger one to be on top,

And having sex is like math homework,
I do it best when I'm alone in my bed.
And squaring numbers are just like women,
If they're under thirteen just do them in your head.

It's new math.

Alright, I'm done. I got enough ****s and giggles from this to last quite some time.

Sully: we're not complimenting your absurdity. We're pointing out your stupidity. There's a big difference.

When you argue that the English dictionary is incorrect and use 2+2=4 to do so, you know things are bad.

Wmute: your English was fine until sully decided on the typical Fat Yank response to something not understood: bombard with lies and ignorance, make **** up, revise history, ignore any facts and all common sense.
