Irritating slang
Title? With the increasing hispanic influence on American English, I foresee many more differences in the near future. Just think, someday, our descendants could all be speaking Spanglish.

Astrology, what is your sign?
Since Scorpios are leading now, I gotta ask . . . anybody else here a Valentines baby?

Irritating slang
Yeah, that's true. But I think the biggest influence was from French. When the Normans took over, they brought a lot of French words with them.

Accents you can do/imitate
Piece of cake. There are really just two things you need to know to make the perfect Southern accent (Eastern North Carolina variety, at least.) 1. When pronouncing a word, always stress the first syllable. Also, you gotta flatten your vowels. Words with two syllables where the syllable break occurs between two vowels become one-syllable words. Example: heel = hill. I'm a Tar Hill born, I'm a Tar Hill bred, and when I die, I'm a Tar Hill Dead! 2. Keep your mouth as closed as possible while talking. If it ain't mumbling, it ain't Southern! Follow these rules, and you'll be grilling pigs in no time!

Latin ain't dead! It's just waiting for a comeback! I don't think that was aimed at you . . . .

Irritating slang
I find it funny that people complain about butchering the English language, when English itself is a butchered mix of French and Germanic languages. And those were butcheries of other languages, which were butcheries of other languages, and so on until the beginning of history.

Irritating slang
Off topic, but what the hell, here's a little trick I learned in my Latin 2 class. If you ever find yourself reading something historical, change the name of the antagonist to Meathead. It makes it infinitely more fun, especially if the reading is really dry.

Because Toyota wants the public to perceive their vehicles as safe?

Keyless Remotes
Haha, I'd think the guy with the mafia screen name would go out of his way to ALWAYS use remote start.

You know, if the trend continues, eventually the GMC emblem will lose all its color and possibly be replaced by some weird swooshy logo, so the association should lessen over time.

When You Support A Political Party, Its Because...
The way our elections are held, a strong third party can't really exist here. It would take something of extreme importance, like say, the abolition of slavery, to give a third party solid footing.

Astrology, what is your sign?
I can look on any given day and find anywhere from 3-6 horoscopes that might fit me, so I'm not exactly swayed by them. I suppose perhaps being born in November (I'm a Scorpio) when it's colder and there's less light could have some slight effect on someone's personality, but that seems like a bit of a stretch to me.

Chery continues to WOW
I'd just like to say that due to the flack they took from humanitarian agencies, Chery does all its trunk-size testing with live hookers, just like every other automaker. So please, rip their fit and finish all you want, but no more dead hooker jokes. It's just not funny anymore.

When You Support A Political Party, Its Because...
Eh, the best interest of the country were lost even when it was more balanced, since everything's drawn so strictly along party lines now. So naturally, I'm registered as independent, though my political ideology would be considered more socialist, i suppose.
