Babies are delicious, especially when they are yours. I find myself kissing him all the time thinking of how delicious he is. So, i started telling people: I'm not kissing my son, i'm holding back from eating him.
Congrats to you as well!
Oh me, oh my. I'm old and just getting older. But this year i got the best birthday present ever. My son was born just a couple days ago. I can't wait to take him home from the NICU.
Nice idea.
If you pinch "imply" hard enough you can make it mean "infer"
That statement itself is enough to pinch all the linguists out there.
What makes that the "correct" version? It seems the line has quite the history and has taken on many forms. Fwiw, Wikipedia justifies "implies".
I ought to be jealous of you. But i'm much too lazy.
I keep looking for these two links: https://slashdot.org/journal.pl?op=list and https://slashdot.org/journal.pl?op=edit.
I just read a comment: "Correlation does not connote causation." A search found the more common adage uses "imply" instead of "connote". Though, they are somewhat synonymous.
Anyway, that seems wrong. I mean, the whole point is that it does indeed imply causation. That's why we need to remind people that it does not equal causation.
over the deep face of the depths.
"deep" fits neither the words nor the context.
"depths" It says water, not depths.
Heh. Only if you are interested. I'm not here to force my views on anyone.
I'm still here.
Ah, then i wasn't there. I just remember being in slashdot before logins existed.
I was remembering all the fun we had
Yeah, i remember the discussions. None of the details though.
Thanks for commenting. It is good to hear from you again.
Same.
