I don't wanna uncinate anything.

She may have went willingly

That don't mean he is resolved for the crimes.

Okay, I figured out "all so" means "also". (previous post)
But what is "uncinate"? Incinerate? incite?

Hmmm. initiate seems likely.

There actually is a word uncinate - but it refers to hooked, bent @ the end like a hook.

I think it was supposed to be "insinuate."

I have always been mystified by people who insert an extra letter (or two) into a word when they say that word.

Acme becomes Ac-a-me. Revlon becomes Rev-a-lon. Athlete is pronounced as Ath-a-lete. Many people pronounce paraplegic as para-pa-legic. In college, one of my friends had the last name of Costanzo, but most people seemed to pronounce his name as Con-stanzo. The Verrazano Bridge is referred to by many people as the Verranzano Bridge.

Why do some folks insert extraneous letters into a word?

These are some things I read this morning in our local, "You Know You're From" page:


I just saw a realtors not so intellegent add regarding 73 homes for sale. My question, is why are home owners leaving in groves?

Our brand new shinny renters laws.. sadly have scarred away some nice landlords

A lot of reno's. None of them houses are even haveitable.

Yea I can to. Definately !

Original Poster: The bridge broke. Stay of of it.
Poster #1: What happen
Poster #2: What happen
Poster #3: What happen?
Original Poster: Brige broke. Up for 4 hrs.
Poster #1: Oh.
Poster #2: 4 hours!? Oh geez lol my kid sure would've of love that! But I think mommy would've had to of taken a nap though lol.





I am scared. Why don't people know even the most basic spelling and grammar at this stage in the game?

The Comma Chronicles:

#MarchForScience Losers, Leave Trash All Over The Streets, After Their “Protest” Concludes…

What a rediculous notion- "march for science", as if real science needs you to march. It was nothing more than another whiney tempur tantrum from the left to make them feel righteous. I lost my "tempur" and now I have nowhere to sleep.

Crime Chemotharpy.

You're theory of cancer and treatment for it are bogus.



Hells Angles are rolling into Berkley just so no funny stuff goes down.
