At one point he was sharing his family cost of arms with everyone. No one had the heart to tell him it was fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JujuFish Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 I'll add another complaint (though not relevant to a written medium like this forum). It really rubs me the wrong way when I hear someone pronounce the plurals of bias and process with an -eez ending. Lots of words do get plurals like this: ellipsis, diagnosis, parenthesis, genesis, catharthis, metamorphosis, psychosis, synopsis, and many more. But these are all -sis words of Greek origin, which isn't the case for bias or process. This is something I mainly hear from otherwise well-educated people, which makes it baffling to me. It's like some form of pattern recognition gone wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real name of Herman of the 60s band Herman's Hermits is Peter Noone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude you aren’t a 6’9” basketball phenomenon that was getting comps to MJ. You are biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
