That’s a classic. What a great television series!
Well that explanation beats the pants off of the “It made Bud Wiser” argument! 
We can say shit on this forum?
I think you just did…
I think so 2.
That brings up the question…
Does this forum have a filter where I can actually type M@!&#$%#%^ER and it jumbles it up. Or do we need to self censor?
fuck gets changed, but that’s about it.
So far everyone’s been adult enough to not make it a concern.
which is one of the reasons l only belong to this forum. some of the other forums are filled with way too much bar language. and this coming from an old sailor. i hear it enough, i don’t need to read it.
Wow… that’s sort of amazing, actually.
Until Drew starts splitting his f##king infinitives, that is. I was going easy on y’all, but look out.
edit: Hey look, it works! Also, Drew, just messing with you. 
I was about to loudly proclaim that to righteously split an infinitive is to proudly show one’s understanding of how to aggressively manipulate the rhythm of one’s prose!
Joking aside, I’ve always hated the “no splitting infinitives” rule. It’s a bad grammarial hangover from when a bunch of snooty prisses decided that proper English had to mirror Latin. Since an infinitive is one word in Latin, you can’t split the wee thing - it’s like trying to find the bloody monopole. But fortunately as all of those uptight prigs have had the pole firmly removed from their pigu by the wearying effects of time, writers have felt free to explore the textual effects of the split infinitive.
I realize this thread is taking an abrupt turn, but hey, it’s in the pub…
I’ve had some bad hangovers, but I don’t think one’s ever gone grammarial.
There are situations in which a split infinitive sounds perfectly fine to me, and others in which it just sounds wrong, and I don’t even think there’s rhyme or reason to it. I guess I’m just a snooty priss. (Another word for which overly pedantic lexicographers would hang me out to dry!)
“To seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly split infinitives that have never been split before…” ;D
Confused by split infinitives, never made sense.
i used to split atoms, but i have no idea what an infinitive is or how to split one. 
I split my pants once… :o
I’m torn on crap like this where I gotta go look up stuff to keep up with the converstaion. I learned something new, like to not split inifnitives. But I’m uncertain as to how it will improve my life. Also, now that the filter is recognized, will there be a f##king Flood of f##ks now?
Edit: it also de-capitalized the word.
English grammer teachers halt the natural evolution of the english language (IMO). If we (and our parents and grandparents) had paid attention, we would still be speaking Victorian English.
To badly speak, or to horribly write, that is the question…
I don’t much care for the evolution of the language. There’s nothing eloquent about WTF.
fuck yea
