Did you become a splinter? A straw? How small a board? Oh, I get it. You became a board of one. A board with only one member: yourself. You "had to."
They spelled "mulch" wrong, too. I only mulch energy into wood chips when I have to.

What about all these people saying "we was" or "they was"? It's so ghetto.

Or, "was they going to come over tonight"? Or, "wasn't they supposed to be here by now"?

Seems more common than ever!

A recipe in one of my cookbooks says to mix all of the ingredients "in a large bowel."

Reminds me of a girlfriend years ago who was getting married and told me she had registered for this beautiful "soup latrine".

A member posted his approval of the previous post in that thread, stating, "especially the Bolden part."

He was apparently referring to the words in bold type.

I just watched a streaming movie and this was one of the comments:

"The set design and cinimitography worked very well for me."

Maybe that is a sign I need to stop watching action flicks.

Ok what about supposively for supposedly or better, supposebly?
Those really get on my nerves in speech.
