Have you ever had a car stolen?

  • No
  • Yes, I reported it but never got it back
  • Yes, reported and the police located it
  • Yes, reported, but neither the police nor Traffic and Parking found it - a neighborhood citizen noticed it covered with parking tickets, broke in and located me so I got it back, no thanks to cops or meter maids.
  • I went to see Tull at the Boston Gahden (they sucked by the way, but everything at the Gahden sucked, I think it’s in their contract) and parked my dad’s car in a commercial lot, and couldn’t find it so reported it stolen, then a month later got a call from the lot - it was there all along, I just forgot where; meanwhile my dad had bought a new car so he gave me this one, so it actually kind of worked out for me.

What best describes your views on the evolution of language over time?

  • Their you have it! What do you mean “wrong”? You knew what I meant!
  • Changes in language over time proves a language is a living thing. That’s good.
  • I’m literally dying to see certain popular language conventions go away
  • It generally annoys me ANY time groups of people try to alter language for their own ends
  • I generally welcome changes to language provided they serve to clarify some understanding
  • It’s acceptable to change meanings when the battle for the old meaning has already been ‘lost’
  • It’s great to change our language conventions if 5% of the population wants to adopts a given change
  • It’s great to change our language conventions if 15% of the population wants to adopt a change
  • it’s great to change our language conventions only if more than 50% want to adopt a change
  • Bifil that in that seson on a day, In southwerk at the tabard as I lay
  • Some other incredibly wise and erudite position which I shall set forth in the Other thread
