As a Midwesterner I say “moun-en”

I honestly don’t know how she manages to keep from bursting out of half those costumes!

And you seem like a used car dealer.

I would rather let my business go under than have a customer be unhappy on a deal.

Once is a vehicle Chevy made when nobody cared about anything and the world had just given up.

Warpage. Chopsticks and cutting boards will definitely warp. Wooden spoons are typically sturdy enough to get by; I always put wooden spoons in the dishwasher, but not wooden cutting boards.

No, this story is about the fact that you are actively misrepresenting what happened, and perpetuating a narrative that has been discredited.

When my girlfriend and I, along with her three cats (and two daughters) moved in together, I tried nail caps. It took less than a minute before all three cats had the caps off.

First, that’s the same meteorologist.

Of more importance is how everybody uses “begs the question” when he/she means actually means “prompts the question” instead.

No, it isn’t. It’s the “Prove me wrong, or else I’m not wrong” logic.

And your comparison is fallacious. Your statement was simply a comparison to typos and/or misspellings of homonymous words. That’s why I can ascertain the meaning in your phrase. Not because I was reappropriating new meanings to the individual words.

Provide me another meaning of the phrase. Prove its ambiguity. Once you do that, I’ll concede completely.

I see where you’re getting hung up. You’re debating whether “4 times shorter” has a meaning at all. But we’re well past that. It does. It absolutely does.

How was that parody or insensitive? It looked like homage and respect to me. Maybe I missed it.

What does ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ have to do with this? What does Sinead O’Connor have to do with Prince? I don’t get it.

Your example even seems to indicate that “4 times shorter” doesn’t have a meaning because “Soylent cat people Fred Tuesday or ostracizing.” has no meaning.
