These used to be perfectly good words. This political season has ruined both of them. you can fast forward to 2038 and the second I hear some cockbreath use "conflate" in the middle of debate, I'm going to flash back to a Clinton/Trump should-have-shutup-about-an-hour-ago windbag session from 22 year prior.

Tent pole.
this thread is always an eye-opener for me... people really say this? how would that even work, anyways? yeah... teddy threw for 3 TDs today, but I'm only a shareholder, so I get... what.. 2.3 pts total.Said it before but reminded of it earlier this week. Talking about NFL players as "shares" in fantasy talk. Example: "I'm glad I didn't have any shares of Teddy Bridgewater this season".
Shut up.
So the reason I called you here was to update you about the stormso? so let's dance.
An excellent posting. I complained about this upthread.So the reason I called you here was to update you about the storm
What direction is the storm heading?
So the storm is tracking to the east.
What time will it make landfall?
So it should make landfall around 8:00 pm.
Agree. Related to the "X will get his, but Y is gonna eat" trash that I referred to a few posts up. It (and the "mouths to feed" atrocity) was really big on Rotoworld last season, but they seem to have moved on. Still worth a mention just in case, I deem.With the fantasy football ones being discussed, I imagine "to many mouths to feed" is in here somewhere. But I had to mention it because whoever says this should be killed on the spot. Absolute worst of the worst

I don't like it either. But since the "Update", the posts no longer have numbers to refer to. Joy.upthread
because they're comparing them to other people in their pantheon. they aren't comparing to just a single player, but players of a particular type.How about sports announcers or talk show hosts who refer to individuals in plural form. The Ruths, the Aarons, ect. Why not just say Ruth and Aaron?
But there was only one Babe Ruth, one Hank Aaron, one Mickie Mantle. Can't the comparisons take place without referring to people in plural form?because they're comparing them to other people in their pantheon. they aren't comparing to just a single player, but players of a particular type.
HTH.
*dominantBut there was only one Babe Ruth, one Hank Aaron, one Mickie Mantle. Can't the comparisons take place without referring to people in plural form?
"He's as dominate as Ruth, Aaron, and Mantle". Or "He's as dominate as the Ruths, the Aarons, and the Mantles".
But it's so sub-macro ironic in the right hands. If i was a toothy Dominican girl, an army couldn't stop me saying it every 12 secondsI know, right!!??
Please stop.
