Yeah, they’re pretty sweet. Made by a guy (his employees, actually) who owns several Mexican restaurants around town that cater to a Mexican clientele. They’re served on soft little double-stacked tortillas with chunks of marinated steak and cilantro and accompanied by a yellow(ish) hot sauce that would instantly open the most stubbornly clogged of sinuses. I need a bottle of beer just to get through two of them (and since I’m probably gonna have five or six, holding it to only two beers is gonna be tough. :D).
It has only been 3 days since I pointed out that this is an absolute statement that is, imho, an impossibility. I am not concerned with your list of exceptions to this particular statement - they do not apply. According to The Free Dictionary, the definition of the word ‘everyone’ is every person, everybody. This definition was taken from The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition. Cite here. Every person.
Every.
Single.
Person.
So if I can provide an example of just one person who does NOT have the same opportunity to “get ahead”, to be “successful”, or to earn or achieve wealth, then your statement would seem to be false, or incorrect. I think that I’ll select those born with Autism as an example of people (more than one person) who don’t have an opportunity to “get ahead” here in the good old US of A. You can read all about Autism here.
There are other avenues that I could explore to further my point, but I’m hoping that the one example is enough for now.
‘pwned’ is an example of change in language. Languages that don’t change die. ‘pwned’ specifically is the result of an error in typing, but plenty of words, like ‘pea’ and ‘OK’, are the result of accidental or intentional errors in spelling or typography.
That’s your opinion, nothing more. I disagree with your opinion. “pwned” (which hurts to type, so I won’t anymore ) is deliberately stupid and childish.
Well, pwned at the very least is a neutral shift. It means the same thing as owned, just with a gamer connotation.
Personally, given that it arose from a typo, I have a hard time accepting its use in actual speech. There I’d prefer to use owned and reserve pwned (or pwnt) for when I want to be goofy online.
Upon review of what I just wrote, I’d like to say that I was wrong when I said that those born with Autism don’t have an opportunity to “get ahead”. That is an absolute statement, insinuating that every person born with Autism has no opportunity. I was talking out of my ass and I apologize for doing so.
It is the people that have severe cases of the affliction to whom I referred.
Civics lesson for today: We are the government. Are we allowed to do things that we’re not allowed to do?
I am not taking civics lessons, or any other lessons, from a college sophomore, quite probably the stupidest creatures on the planet. Run along now, I hear your Mom calling you for dinner.
I don’t have a side in this fight, but the post you just described as “opinion” was 100% factual. Every single word was fact. Exactly which part of it would you consider “opinion”? Here, I’ll post it again for easy reference:
Whether you like the word or not, I just don’t see anything in there that counts as opinion.
How about a realistic change, though? Things like “hingandonnajinkalabeast” don’t happen. Moreover, when official institutes of language purity coughFrancecough try, people by and large just ignore their pronouncements and keep saying things like le Walkman and le weekend.
