Apparently you need more help with you English than that.

I found several maps in less than 30 seconds using google. Surely you can do the same, no?

He's not the only one.


So, I was at a Japanese restaurant on Friday. The waitress was really nice, but the first thing she said was, "I would like to very much recommendation you this menu..." Needless to say, my poor lip got a lot of biting that night.

I'd like to see anybody use 10^100 to find images. Even Giles can't do that, and he can do friggin' anything.

I love nitpicking your mistakes.

 

[Solid Fro]

George, I see the rabbits! I see the rabbits!

I like Will Smith. He is a good rapper. It's true. Don't deny it. b307ches.

That would be googol, Sage.

And the key to the left of the t key is b[]oken. So[][]y.

 

[CDailey]

*DING DING* Round One.

In this (<---) corner, we have Klostrophobic. In this (--->) corner, we have Sage.

Oh, screw those mathematicians. Honestly, math is the most useless bucket of chicken feed ever &ndash; Agreed?

So you broke it after "Surely", which came after "you(r)"? Klos, you're slipping. If you lived in my house, you would be falling off our cliff by now.

no, math is cool. Accounting on the other hand...

It only works sometimes. Like in that last sentence.

You shouldn't have a space before or after your emdash.

I was joking. For christ's sake, I love math!

Wrong-o. That's an en dash. You can use an en dash in place of an em dash if you put spaces around the former and no spaces around the latter. In all technicality, you're supposed to put "hairline spaces" around the en dash, but off the top of my head I think Arial is the only font that even has hairline spaces, so most typographers settle for regular spaces.

 

[Klostrophobic]

**** you.

 

[Sage]

You're also supposed to use en dashes for taking out letters instead of asterisks.

 

[Klostrophobic]

Blame vB. I typed in the actual words.

LethalAE86typeR is getting one hell of an English lesson right here.

 

[Sage]

He certainly is. Except that he was asking for maps, but whatever&hellip;

(Notice the "horizontal ellipses".)

 

[Klostrophobic]

(Notice the "horizontal ellipses".)

Horizontal ellipses? All I can think of is the infinity symbol and I have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

 

[Sage]

The three dots, duh! For some reason, you're supposed to use a "horizontal ellipses" instead of three periods.

 

[Klostrophobic]

Oh, an ellipses. I thought you meant something about horizontal oval-shaped ellipses.

Is there such a thing as a vertical ellipses?

 

[Sage]

Maybe in Chinese.

 

[1X83Z]

Sage, why would you say 'google' is capitalized? Is eBay? Is Scion xB? I mean, it clearly should be, but it's a company name and since they specify it to be lower-case, I'm with Klos.

 

[Sage]

Douglas, does the first letter in this pic look capitalized to you?:

Well?!?

And anyway, Klos already proved that point moot due to my brain fart, so&hellip; (Horizontal ellipses!!!)

 

[sn00pie]

Issues?

sn00pie says yes.

More correctly spelled "ellipsis". When written "ellipses", it is in the plural form. There was only one ellipsis.

An ellipse is a distended circle, the plural is also spelled "ellipses", which makes it a homonym.

 

[Sage]

Ooh, &minus;1 for Sage&hellip; I've always been an awful speller.

 

[SnowbordrWRX]

You're not gonna pass your English final if you don't even capitalize the word! haha
