Manny, you're such a popular guy (or, isn't it about time for another spelling rant?)

Okay, listen up all y’all. Manny is a name (pronounced man-ee). Many is a description of quantity (pronounced men-ee). To use them in sentences;
I went to visit Manny, and he offered me some dinner.
I have gone to visit Manny** many** times, and he has offered me dinner many times.

It’s a fairly small nit to pick, I realize, but it throws my mental voice right off when I’m reading and I have to keep pronouncing “manny” as “many” in my head for the sentences to make sense.

(First one to invoke Gaudere’s Rule gets a cookie!)

It’s an old board gag, featherloo.

I think it started when a very old, long gone poster started OP’s along the lines of this.

Ahem.

MANNY PEOPLES TELL ME TIHS SO NOW I HVAE TO ASK: IS IT TREU TAHT SPIDRES RAPE MICE WHEN ITS FUL MOON???

But it was before my time, so I’ll leave it to others to come up with the details.

Fuck Gaudere and the horse she rode in on. :wink:

Featherlou, that is. Damn.

4

“featherloo”? I’m getting a real weird image in my head, involving feather dusters and toilets…

Gaudere’s rule:

As the number of screen names you use on a board increases, the likelihood of one of them discussing Nazis in a thread approaches 1.

[sub]well…it should be![/sub]

No cookie. Bad Ender.

Coldy - But what about the SPIDERS??? My pet mouse is scared to death now!

8

What? WHAT? I didn’t do nuthin’. I’m innocent, I tell you!

9

I thought Gaudere’s rule was “lube first”.

10

Any post that attempts to correct another poster’s mistake in grammar, spelling or punctuation will itself contain a mistake in grammar, spelling or punctuation.

I like “Oreos with Double Stuff.”

You got it, jab. “Lube first” indeed. What kind of dirty little board are you people running here, anyway?

The SMDB, of course.
