Post one thing you've learned today.

This half-hearted thread was brought to you by somebody who has been up since 6am.

PAULYBEE2656 · 09.11.2008, 03:59 AM

OH DEAR....

Pookie · 09.11.2008, 04:01 AM

Alas, it is.

I'm up to get a girl, a boy and a grown woman ready for school, pre-school, and work.

Courage is a kind of endurance in the face of fear but not all endurance is courageous.

And by "today" I am answering for yesterday as it is only 2 AM.

That I like Brel's slower ballads (La ville s'endormait, l'amour est mort, ne me quitte pas...) just as much as his more pacy, melodic songs (bruxelles, les flamandes, les bourgeois, valse a mille temps...)

"Irregardless", despite its lamentable addition to some dictionaries, is not a real word.

Pookie · 09.11.2008, 08:21 AM

Isn't it just "regardless"? Surely "irregardless" is a double negative.

Pookie · 09.11.2008, 08:22 AM

It sounds like an Americanism to me.

Pookie · 09.11.2008, 08:25 AM

I've just learned this:

Irregardless in popular culture

In the Family Guy episode "Lois Kills Stewie" (Part 2), Stewie threatens to consign anyone who uses irregardless to a work camp.
In a second season episode ("Irregarding Steve") of American Dad, Steve Smith and Roger the alien make fun of Stan Smith when he uses the term. Steve remarks, "Irregardless? That's not even a real word. You're affixing the negative prefix 'ir-' to 'regardless', but, as 'regardless' is already negative, it's a logical absurdity!"

i learnt that my dog is still nice to an irish wolfhound when he stands up and towers above him. he's cautious (my dog is dalmatian-size) but not scared.

i love both dogs. been talking to the owner of the wolfhound a bit. it's an amazing animal, too bad they don't get old.

nicfit · 09.11.2008, 10:08 AM
