fry bacon naked
Mangle the language like this… pit me if you will for going against the spirit of the thread but really this thread should be titled …
“No one in their life should ever”
even the ‘in their life’ is obselete to be honest. Sorry but I couldn’t hold my peace this time.
Sweat the small stuff.
OK Smart Guy, in what do you clothe your bacon prior to frying it? Doesn’t that get fuzzy stuff on the meats? 
Build your own fireworks
Throw a knife down without knowing where your foot is
Drink $5 gin
Have sex with a zucchini*
*spaghetti squash is still OK
What is wrong with the way I wrote it?
I’m not being stubborn here, just trying to learn.
It’s a style thing really Lakai of course everyone knew what you meant. We usually use ‘every’ (& every -where, -time, -body etc.) in positive phrases (positive verb form and positive feeling), ‘no’ in a phrases where the verb is positive but you want to give a negative feeling.
Tea has not yet activated my brain enough, much easier if I igve examples.
Everybody should stay in this room. - positive, use ‘every’.
Nobody should leave this room. - positive form but a negative idea.
See how strange this sounds ?
Everybody should not leave the room.
Everybody should smoke (a cuban cigar once in their lives just an example)
Nobody should smoke
Everybody should not smoke
Because ‘never’ is a negative word it sounds better with ‘no’ words.
ever ‘means’ - at any time, never - at no time so adding ‘in your life’ isn’t really necessary.
Have you ever been to New York ?
Have you ever been to New York in your life ? Just a bit clunky.
If anyone wants to argue feel free, as it is a ‘style’ issue I’m sure some will disagree, but I’ll be away from the Dope for the next week so won’t be able to respond.
OK we get it. I won’t say “Everyone in their life time should never have to read a lengthy dissertation on grammatical style and usage.” I’ll just say “No one should have to read a lengthy dissertation on grammatical style and usage.”
:d
Hey why didn’t my smilie work ? Too pedantic even for them … this was my intended response
I didn’t say I was frying naked bacon.
You should never:
Stick your head in a dog house when the protective mommy dog just had pups.
Think it would be funny to scare your cat awake when he has many knife like claws with your name on them…written in blood.
Let 2 girls try to reattach a light switch cover with a metal screwdriver with out killing the power first.
Think that little Plantar Wart will just go away by itself.
forget to check your references.
(The kids love it when I GET DOWN verbally.)
