Yes. It was a post by me about Maria Sharapova, a bunch of Yanks got upset about what I had to say.

Generally it should be with an "apostrophe s" and less asterisks.

Less less and more fewer? That just doesn't sound right somehow...

It depends on the context. There are fewer people here that answer questions, and I post less code (but fewer lines of code) than many of the others.

I think most of 'em would say "I can't even." instead.

Quote: No I f***in dont! I appears you are missing a couple of essential apostrophes, one after the "in" indicating a missed letter, the "g"; secondly "dont" is an Old English word meaning "to want to do" as opposed to "don't" which short for "do not" - which is actually almost the opposite in meaning. Curious!

A common misconception amongst the more prudish residents of the country that invented the word "rooster" so that they wouldn't have to say "cockerel".

That research is not clean enough to spit upon.

Swing a hammer and hit your thumb as hard as you can. Please show how your educated and grown-up self would express his immediate reaction.

No. I swore a couple of times when I was probably about 5 when I was mad at my brother. I got my mouth washed out with soap and I have never sworn again. Not even once. I just don't see a need for it.
I guess it's hard for some of you to realize there are more civilized people than yourselves.
