has ableton live got weak legs?

[Pasha]

Is this...

I'm sad that you apparently live in London and cannot tell the difference between a relative measurement of strength and a universal measurement of time.

I'm honestly embarrassed for you.

This, my good sir, is brilliant. It's just made the rounds on my MSN list of chums

It is good, although a week is not a universal measurement of time, it really only applies to an earth calendar. A week, or 7 earth days has no real use in universal terms.

On the other hand, the relative measurement of strength is much more approrpriate as in:

'The shit in this thread is weak'

As he said himself, how can we take someone with the spelling capability of a six year old seriously.

Although, to be fair, all my children know the difference between weak and week and can spell both corretly. Only one of three is over six years old.

sorry sorry sorry to continue this pointless yet amusing discussion, but by universal I was refering to the fact that what we normally term 'universal' measurements are ones that are correct no matter what the conditions in which they're measured are: a week's still a week no matter what day it is, in the same way a metre is still a metre even if you're facing left

However, Russ, +many for talking sense


Oh, and Snatch is an amusing and brilliant film, but it's not exactly representative of England at all, almost all the Londoners I've met talk with loverly middle clarss accents. Gypsies do talk like that though.

if you come over here sometime you will notice nobody speaks proper english, not even the english, was the the film snatch were this was so well pointed out

There is a very slight difference between using colloquialisms/slang and being borderline illiterate.

In that case I take umbrage with the universal use of the word 'universal', when in fact they mean 'global'!

...I had never thought of a metre going off to the left, they've always been right in front of me. I feel dizzy.

What ho! I'm jolly well orft to rile up some gyppos. Possibly the odd crusty or two. The dog-on-a-string soap dodging wastrels!

Gyppos A

I'm not really a grammar nazi but it does get tiresome. The amount of times I see this kind of thing at work.

My WIFE is a grammar nazi... but then she is an English teacher, so she is allowed to be. And she is well within her rights to correct me when I slip up (which I often do) because it annoys me when I am wrong. I should know better by now. Especially on the random comma thing, and using the 'Oxford comma' which I know annoys some people.

A personal irritant of mine is people not using 'to', 'two', or 'too' correctly.

Can you imagine that British people themselves sometimes struggle with their own language? This is mainly due to lazy parenting, the youth of today's inexplicable obsession with street culture and the continual erosion of the comprehensive school system by pandering to the lowest common denominator.

+1

The slow death of the apostrophe being the most infuriating example of laziness.

didnt read the whole thread but actually Reaper handles system resources better ALOT.
for example, an instance of Reaktor hogs 2-3 times less CPU in Reaper, and i have no idea wtf

[UKRuss]

DAMMIT MAN, take your musical speak somewhere else, this thread has been hi-jacked by the grammar police!

My Mrs is a teacher too and is the same with the ol' punctuation, grammar and spelling thing.

I always get corrected on using 'less' instead of 'fewer'...

She is right though, there is no denying that.

If there were less grammatical errors in the world...oh, see? I did it again, right there.

'FEWER Grammatical errors Russell! FEWER grammatical errors.' I can hear her now...no, really.

'Talking to your invisible internet friends again Russell.'

Ahhh, lovely.

I had a good argument in the pub the other day over the useage of "its" and "it's". I had to back down in the end because it started to get nasty.

Anyway I'm on holiday today so I'm still wearing my weekend legs.

Or do I mean weakened?

"its" as in the thing belongs to it.
"it's" as in it is.

People get confused because it's the reverse of the rule for pronouns.

[crumhorn]

Try explaining that to someone after 5 pints of strong cider.

This is blowing my mind!

Grammar. THE main cause of pub violence in the UK today.

After eight pints of Stella I may be rather idiotic and would probably shag a camel, but I can still spell and understand grammar (Although, I don't really care by that point).

My and my buddies normally argue about global warming instead, it's *way* more fun cus they're all gaylord geography graduates who work on traffic lights, and therefore have had many many years of indoctrination. Fun fun fun


Brass eye was incredible! "I can feel myself becoming more suggestible *sniffs*"
