I am in favour of "alright" in concept, deed and action. It's always been alright by me. And squigglz are but squigglz. They brighten up a Quick Reply box so they do.

Also, I bought four cans of Budweiser at 75p each at Spar this morn cos seemed a bargain. My tongue doesn't seem to notice anything other than being slightly moistened after a swig o' the stuff. Pisswater so it is.
 
Similar ‘merged’ words such as altogether and already have been accepted in standard English for a very long time, so there is no logical reason to object to the one-word form alright. Nevertheless, many people dislike it and regard it as incorrect, so it’s best to avoid using alright in formal writing.

I reckon it's alright to use "alright"
 
alright, alright!

I did say as much!

And yeah, budweiser really is a poor imitation of actual beer :| but needs must. and bargains ought to.
 
Here's what our elites have to say on the topic:

Is it acceptable to write alright as one word, rather than two separate ones? For example:

She calls them whenever she is travelling to assure them she is alright.

She calls them whenever she is travelling to assure them she is all right.

Seeing as I'm no elitist, I'll go with Mungo Jerry. Alright?

My chromium says "I'm" is not a word. Never trust a chromium.
 
You also using Chromium, Knock? Me too. Only just quite recently but quite liking it. Also using Gnome3 desktop. Is as swanky as me poot has ever looked. Is an absolute bugger for losing stuff and slowing things down though :!

EDIT: Oh. And just so I can go ahead and close a tab or two - Smart she is but Smart she ain't. Sore she must surely be 8o
 
I'm using Chromium as Firefox kept corrupting it's pages. I thought my laptop was fucked! But before throwing my laptop in the bin I tried Chromium and it's not corrupting the pages. So I've got a buggy firefox. I dislike Chromium purely because it's Google and it works best when I'm "logged in", but that means Google know what I'm doing, the cunts!

I'm also using Arch Linux now, which is fast as fuck! But not for the faint hearted. Even I was too faint-hearted, so I went for the soft option of Archbang, which puts a fully configured Arch with swift, minimal Openbox desktop on your computer without much effort! I'm really happy with it. Just took some relearning of the administration commands. It does take a bit of learning, but with knowledge comes power! Power over the computer, not power over my fellow humans, I don't want that :)

What do I do about my tired face? I've already taken 30mg ethylphenidate and I'm still tired. That would normally have me washing dishes and stuff. 4-FA was nice at 40mg yesterday, but it still didn't make me do fuck all.

Might have to be 3-Meo-PCP! I was thinking it was giving me tinnitus, but I've got tinnitus without it. "I've" has a squiggly line under it now :!


edit: OK let's see if Dr Knock's daily regimen has a new revision in the pipeline. Kratom seems to have stopped working completely, which is unutterably shit.

She looks a bit like I feel, fortunately I look a lot better than I feel =D
 
Going back to words for a moment. Does anyone have any idea why Americans do not pronounce the 'h' when they say 'herb'?
Every time I hear them say it on TV they always say 'erb instead of herb.
Any ideas?

Or better, depending on how you look at it. Saves TV license money anyway.

That sounds so bad. Drugs to lose weight, drugs to keep you up, drugs to knock you out to sleep......Oh well, I guess it is a drugs forum. What was I expecting?

A lot of them also say garage with an ultra-soft 2nd g as if they're french. Like garaj. Mind you I reckon some of you soft southern gentlepeople do a similar thing? Amirite?

'otel instead of hotel is another one I dislike! I don't mind 'ospital, cos that's cockney.

I think they just think it's classy. When in reality it seem pretentious, to us anyway.

True. The 'erb herb thing has always got on my tits whenever I hear them say it.
 
I also was taken aback when my sister and her pal, who are americans, went on about "syncope" (with the e pronounced, like "syncopay"). WTF are you talking about? I thought; what's syncope? I said. It's fainting. Say fucking fainting then! I thought.

I do believe they think it makes 'em sound all sophistimacated and such. No idea why. That dropped 'h' irks me far more than it should. The way they pronounce French words in general actually. 'Penchant' is one that especially grates for some reason. I do appreciate the fact that two annoying American pronunciations collide and concuss when they try to pronounce "en route". Contradictory mispronouncements concur to create a near perfect facsimile of the original. There's some deep metaphor for life in there somewhere I'm sure of it. But til then, there are Americans.

Also, evenin', Swamptrix. I've not been around and about with much regularity online of late so not gotten around to replying to prior PM. Tis on me ToDo list though. Just be grateful you slipped from last night's replies cos lawdy have I been in rambling man mode 8o
 
Yeah, can honestly say I have never heard of that word Knock.
I don't actually mind their accents for the most part but a strong New Jersey accent as witnessed on 'Housewives of New Jersey' is a strange one. The way they say things like coffee and dog sounds quite strange.

Shames me to say it but I have a pawnshawn for saying pawnshawn :| My dad was a French teacher before he became Management, the bastard, but that's no excuse because he doesn't say restaurong like a frenchy, he says restyouraunt like an idiot! My french teacher, who was managed by my dad, once said she disliked people who said "restyouraunt" rather than restraunt, which is what I say and what she says. I didn't grass her up to the boss though.

. Tis on me ToDo list though. Just be grateful you slipped from last night's replies cos lawdy have I been in rambling man mode 8o

ToDo list! Do you have an actual one? The last list I wrote just had "write ToDo list" at the top, that was several months ago!


maxalfie coffee - kwaffee. I quite like saying kwaffee!
 
I'd write a To do list but I know that I'd write loads of things down that need doing but that would be as far as it would go and I'd never actually get any of it done.
One of my sisters is the total opposite of me (actually they both are), but one of them always has her 5 year plan written down and updates it as & when required and sets herself targets that she has to achieve in her life etc.
I could never plan ahead like that & even if I did I know I wouldn't ever follow it.
