I share a similar trait with member: Rorschach Mikaudes. I also do not like to be confused. I as well am confused at the seriousness of Pygrusfin's recent post.

I beg your pardon member: JQ Pickwick? I cannot possibly be tripping, as I am in a sitting position, and you could have no possible means of knowing whether or not I am tripping on anything.

A ball does not have legs or feet. How do you trip a ball? I would never trip a ball. Their spherical shape pleases me.

Yes, this was indeed directed towards you.
To answer your question, I suppose it is weird that you are serious during such occasions.
I will now retire to the chamber of cleansing, after which I will return to my quarters for a good night's rest.
Tomorrow will be a long day, and I wish to be well rested for it.
I hope to speak with you all again tomorrow.
Goodnight.

I do not understand some of your more complex remarks. I was aware that "JQ and I" was the correct way to say something. Another question I may ask: Why would mathematics be harmful?
Title: Re: Greetings
Post by: Pyrgusfinn on September 22, 2009, 08:28:45 PM
Math is painful because they make the others come out of hiding.
Title: Re: Greetings

A general rule of thumb - Remove the other person and just use I/me.  "You wish you were as cool as I" doesn't make sense, "You wish you were as cool as me" does.

Yes, dead wrong; I is a nominative pronoun, and me is objective. Since the pronoun follows a preposition, it is an object of a preposition, and must, therefore, take on the objective case.

Wait, I just thought of something. Actually, "You wish you were as cool as I," does make sense because the linking verb am (or whatever form of be fits the scenario) is understood because the sentence is making a comparison (comparisons often omit words), making I the subject of a clause and ensuring that it should be of the nominative case.

To every rule an exception.

But does that mean to every exception, there's an exception, too? And wouldn't that round it back to it being a rule, or would it just be a double exception?

AMBIGUITY!!! D:

The term "rule of thumb" is based off of an old rule regarding how to measure inches without a ruler.
