Frodo - where bald meets banned … may the hammer descend on you …
en la guerra cualquier hoyo es una trinchera (in wartimes, any hole becomes a trench)
We have the exact same “proverb” here, except that we use “agujero” instead of “hoyo” (both words mean “hole” but “hoyo” is understood but rarely used in Rioplatense Spanish)
Well, that depends, doesn’t it?
Let me explain! No, there is too much. Let me sum up.
We still quote from old movies and TV shows.
They still gripe if your spelling is in error or your punctuation ain’t perfect. Not me tho’.
I read typo fluently.
I showed up.
Opinions about this are likely to vary.
Go to your room. Go directly to your room. Do not pass Go, do not collect 200 quatloos.
Oh yeah. We don’t bet here any more. Oh, we do, but not real dollars. We bet quatloos, but it’s all in fun. The worth of the quatloo to the US$, the CAD$, the AUD$, the GBP, the CHF, the EUR, has yet to be determined, so until then, quatloos are a perfectly fine fictional currency to bet in.
Just don’t bet in real world currencies. Stick with quatloos, and we’ll all have fun.

I think there’s a pretty good consensus that you showed up.
Seems pretty much the same to me except more so.
I disagree!
No, you don’t.
[To the OP: the Argument Clinic is alive and well]
But this is not an argument, it’s a discussion.
But are you disagreeing that they showed up, or disagreeing that there’s a pretty good consensus that they showed up? We didn’t see this kind of sloppy imprecision in the old days before these new people showed up.
Now we see the violence inherent in the system!
yes!

I think we all like George W. Bush more than we used to, because Trump makes him look like Einstein in comparison.
