inflammable is pretty dumb too
- Ginger - 11-10-2008
Uhm, dude?
- CaptainHenreh - 11-10-2008
Inflammable isn't dumb, people are. In inflammable/flammable's case, flammable is the "dumb" word, but it's not really dumb either, just its usage.
- HAULN-SS - 11-10-2008
um. you realize flammable and inflammable mean the same thing?
- Ginger - 11-10-2008
Yeah, no kidding. Holy crap, dude, they're synonyms!
(and, as Rex pointed out, flammable is the dumb one)
- HAULN-SS - 11-10-2008
maybe "in-" is the real culprit.

No, poor vocabulary is the culprit.
I blame Nancy Reagan.

Etymology: From Latin inflammare with the suffix -able. inflammare comes from in + flamma with the suffix -are. It means that something has the flame (flamma) within (in).
The fact thtt most people can't use it right doesn't make it dumb. The fact that they changed the word because they were too dumb to learn their own language is.

So are you blaming the Normans for not being good teachers?

Cost of living is mostly negated if you hold a mortgage, because the interest is deductible. Right?
- Ginger - 11-10-2008
Mikey, that's $173,762. Get it right!
- Mike - 11-10-2008
no pennies?
- Ginger - 11-10-2008
I can give you some if you're running low
- Feersty - 11-10-2008
At least i am not in NOVA anymore. :lol: Pennies go a long way here!
LeeJackAndyChadFeersty In da house! WHAT WHAT!

Probably because people who are 20 can't imagine what it's like to be 40. If you adjusted the medians based on "people they know" or in other words, framed it based on their world, the median would be considerably lower. It ain't ballin' if your aggregate household age is 90, but the comment wasn't really directed at anyone like that... much less Feersty.
Yes, I do understand this. I have 3 years in industry for God's sake.
Well you clearly don't have enough years in the industry to follow conversation properly.
That shouldn't be any indicator of how well I can follow a conversation. I was making the point, if you didn't catch it that, after three years in the environment field, with a bachelor's degree, no one makes 125,000$. :roll:

i'm 100% certain there are quite a few. start your own business? come up with a great idea? especially in these days where every new green idea manages to sell.

every/anyone see her daughter is single already?
- Apoc - 03-17-2009
The one with the kid?
- Mike - 03-17-2009
Yep. I'd hit it.
I just find it funny how before voting they were SO adamant about them doing the right thing, blah, blah, blah...
Now just another illegitimate child.
