Carnie: Yup, that is correct. We do not even have the Internet and I am typing this on a typewriter connected to a potato. Toilet paper is a problem indeed. The most popular party in my country has actually teamed up with some of your fellow citizens to import some striped fabric for this purpose. They say it is very soft. I cannot wait to feel it.
Emne: Re: Stop buying products from corporations and see how far that gets you.
Artful Dodger: As for chain stores, you almost ALWAYS save money shopping there. Overhead doesn't matter when you sell in bulk. That's why so many mom and pop's have gone out of business. It's tough to compete with a huge store.
Exactly. If I got 80% off on each purchase I make “by avoiding a chain of stores and going to a local shop”, the chain stores would soon go bankrupt.
Emne: Re: it's about manners. You are supposed to use someone's name when referring to them in a conversation with someone else.
Artful Dodger: Right. By now, Tuesday has tried to teach the people on this forum how to use conjunctions (“don't you start a sentence with them!”), prepositions (“don't you end a sentence with them!”) and pronouns (“don't you use them to refer to people in conversations with someone else!”). I can't wait for the other word classes…
Emne: Re: it's about manners. You are supposed to use someone's name when referring to them in a conversation with someone else.
Justaminute: Her point was clear: “You are supposed to use someone's name when referring to them in a conversation with someone else.” I fail to see any further specification there.
Emne: Re: Yup, exactly. The rule is a myth and doesn't make any sense.
Artful Dodger: To a certain extent, I do agree that the use of a preposition at the end of a sentence might look inappropriate. In particular legalese tends to use, for example, “change in which we believe“ instead of “change we believe in”. But, teachers who teach that a conjunction at the beginning of a sentence looks stupid are just stupid themselves…
Tuesday: And your point is? The rule claiming that a sentence should not be started with a conjunction is a myth. As well as the God… But I should at least give you some credit for being successful in changing the topic in just one post.
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Tuesday: What on Earth is “anti-woman”? I have barely gotten over people calling each other “anti-American” and now there are some who are “anti-woman” and “anti-man”?
