When did gizmodo become the place people come to to point out other commenters’ *supposed* grammatical errors? I mean, harping when the writer of a blog makes a typo is assholish enough, but really, who gives a shit about the comments? Or has it always been thus, and I’ve just now noticed it?

Your comment reminds me of the time in summer school when I used the word masticate in an example I was asked to give. The whole room cracked up and I was the hero for a day for getting away with using such a vulgar example. Only the poor, belabored teacher knew the difference. :-)

It will soon enough, because that’s how ordinary people (you know, those ignorant bastards?) mainly use it. Just cause it’s not yet in your precious dictionary dosen’t mean it’s incorrect.

Go smoke a bag of dicks. (And learn the definition of the word “subculture” while you’re at it.)

Flows like water, vs. flows like the slow creeping lava flows everybody if familiar with from YouTube?

Did the researchers have anything to say about the kinds of people who complain in the comments section about a writer’s use of the word FUCK? ‘Cause those are the fuckin’ worst type of people . . .

If by subculture you mean millions upon millions of ordinary, regular people who likely have very little in common other than being people, and using the word FUCK, then yes. But I really don’t think that word means what you think it does. Oh, and before I go, fuck fuck, fuckety fuck fuck, fuck fuck! Do you like to…

Fucking fuck!

Fuck.

Fuck fuck fuck, fuckety fuck fuck fuck. Fuck.

Looks great, wish I could speak Japanese. A really fun book about Antarctic work is called Big Dead Place, written by one of the support staff grunts- basically a janitor/gopher type. The book details all the hi-jinks the “staff” (who greatly outnumber the scientists) get up to out there, warts, pranks and all.

Au contraire. Any one of these would make a superlative flag.

So sad, the lack of imagination and humor in the selection process. New Zealand could have had the absolute most boss-ass flag in the entire world. I’m in new Orleans, but I might just have a laser kiwi flag made to fly myself! So fucking cool some of the submissions!

I would beg to differ and say only that none of the submitted designs the steering committee deigned to allow the citizens to choose from were any good. Because I see plenty of goodness right here:

Serious question: if you had been allowed to vote for either of these, would you have? (I certainly would have.)

I love that guy. Even his pulpy Ace double features are entertaining

The book is messed up. Why is he so alone? Where are his parents? What the fuck? Almost as bad as the giving tree.

God, I hated this book when I was a child. I mean, what the fuck? This kid, who never smiles by the way, is trapped, completely alone, on this tiny ass, featureless planet, a planet so fucking small one can circumnavigate in like, 10 minutes. Where are his parents? His playmates? Toys? What is he supposed to do, so…

Yep.
