I DON’T WANTA GO BACK TO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!!
The night before returning was always the worst night of my existence. Hated going back. Then I had the drive to school the next morning and the feeling of impending hell getting closer.
The world ending in a mass explosion was more pleasant a thought.

Offline ^ Uhhhh tell me about it but then you sit down for an hour and it’s back to normal again.
The week after next is oral week for my Leaving Cert students so I get to be rushing up and down the stairs to try and calm them down before they go in*- they should be fine though.
*Of course my proper teacher won’t know, he’ll just think I have to go to the bathroom far more frequently than usual

Offline I had accepted my fate by the time I had walked up the hill. After that it was just waiting until the day was thru at 1/2 3 when I could make a break for it.
The reason I started to donate blood was because it got me out of class.

That’s dedication, I used to just sneak out of religion and career guidance classes in my last year, go home and study and then come back whenever the stupid classes had ended (what a dork).
I never once got caught despite the fact that CCTV is everywhere (I imagine they just never check the cameras).

Offline I skipped 3 months of business studies classes because it was so mind-numbling boring (the class I missed to donate blood); the teacher so didn’t care that when I turned up one afternoon she asked why i was there.
I then went to college to study Business Admin (seriously!! what a complete moron), found it mind-numbingly boring (what a surprise) and skipped 4 months. I phoned student loans up during a trip to Liverpool claiming long term family illness as my money was stopped; for some reason they reinstated it there and then and my holiday continued. The good old days. Nowadays you have to kill a relative and bring him/her with you to a meeting 3 weeks later so not to end up in prison.

Offline Spring Major League Baseball schedules.
Since October I have been eagerly chewing my fingernails down to my elbows waiting for baseball season to start. When the schedule finally came out, I could not wait for today as the Yankees would be playing Houston at Yankee Stadium on Opening Day. One week before Christmas it was 70+ degrees (F). Last week, we had two days over 70 degrees. Today in New York? 44 stinkin’ degrees…with steady rain…and this morning, they had snow flurries. Who in their right mind thought April would be a great month to schedule baseball games to be played in open air stadiums in the Northern US?
Wait …it gets better. The Houston Astros play in a domed stadium…in Texas. Anybody care to guess when those same two teams play in Houston?
If said July, you are correct
Yeah – that makes sense. Idiots.
To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

Offline The fact that the word ‘hyperbole’ isn’t pronounced ‘hyper-bowl’.
Everytime I read it in my head I hear ‘hyper-bowl’ but I have to make sure I don’t say it aloud or else I’ll look like an idiot.

We could all change the pronunciation if we want, language isn’t set in stone.

I could care less. I seen in a paper that language is constantly changing but I done not read the entire article.
I sh*t you know not *cough*, the majority of people in my school talk like that. I’ve ranted about it before on here but my God it irks me, anyways language is always evolving like what looks to be the obliteration of the pluperfect tense in the English language as seen (see that’s it being used correctly, take note Irish people!) amongst the Irish public (I’ve also seen it being used on the forum once or twice as well and it’s always “seen” and “done” in place of “saw” and “did”, never anything else!)
Pronunciation takes at least a few decades (but more often centuries) to change and ‘hyperbole’ isn’t used that much in the vernacular so I don’t see it changing anytime soon, only remaining as a good opportunity to laugh at people who say ‘hyper-bowl’ aloud

I thought that the pluperfect tense needed a “to have” verb

So we should all speak one or two language? Since that is how humans started off. How would we name new concepts if language is set in stone?

I might be wrong but I don’t think setting language in stone affects how many languages people should speak.

By naming them.
Adding stuff to the language is fine, in my opinion, but changing bits that we’ve already set in stone is pointless and lazy.
