Great! Just great!

10 hours ago I arrived at work, with no food. I was hungry for the whole nine hour shift. I get home, go to the shop, buy shitloads of food.

The moment I sit down I get a sudden ‘upset’ stomack, and don’t feel like eating any of the food.

fun.

You stupid, worthless scumbag Lobsang. It’s ‘stomach’, not ‘stomack’. Geez, don’t you know anything. :smiley:

(I hope your tummy is feeling better soon though). :wink:

My tummy is ok now. Almost makes me feel silly for starting a thread about it.

And :smack:

Ah, but even the smallest, lamest rant provides diversion for us all, Lobsang.

Stop hittin’ your head like that – ya want a sore noggin as well as the tummy?

Get better soon. Hope your food ain’t perishable. :slight_smile:

The funny thing is - I actually typed ‘stomach’ and then thought it was wrong and ‘corrected’ it.

It didn’t sound right in my head. (the ‘ach’ sounded like how ‘thatch’ sounds in ‘thatched roof’)

So my hands can spell but my brain can’t.

Sounds more like some part of you yelling out of the darkness, “Damn it! Damn th’ language – it sounds like ‘stomack’! Why, oh cruel fate (and the OED) does it have to be so???”

Or … trust th’ hands. :smiley:

I think ‘stomack’ would have a higher Scrabble score, too. :slight_smile:

Huh? I’ve NEVER done THAT.

(I just ask my spelling-gifted kid when I’m in doubt) :smiley:

Hands: ‘Stomach’

Brain: ‘No hands, that doesn’t look right’

Hands: ‘trust me, it’s right’

Brain: 'No, I am not having it, that must be wrong. change it to “stomack” ’

Hands: ‘if you say so’ <sigh>

No. no. No!

You people claim to fight ignorance?

It’s STUMMICK.
Geez, kids today…

Down with th’ overbearing cranial dictatorship!

(Did I spell ‘cranial’ right? Oh, who’s listenin’ to you, brain, sheesh …)

I blame children.

:smiley:

Why stop there? Spell it “stomaque”. 10 points for a Q versus only 5 for the K (cite).

My brain hurts.

I always spell it “stomache”. It just looks more appropriate sitting next to “ache” that way…

Lobsang, you miserable, judgmental lump of shit.

Oh wait, sorry. Wrong thread.

Um, wouldn’t your stomach hurt from not eating all day?

Yeah, if I wait too long to eat I get an upset, acidy stomach. Suchs (hehe). Eat a few crackers (or something else starchy) and you’ll feel better and probably get your appetite back.

My dog gets ETB (empty tummy barfies) if he goes too long with out eating. He hurls up yellow slimey bile. So it could be worse. You could have puked on your kitchen table.
