I've always wondered about the word "Won't" It's abbreviated for Will not...but that is not possible! This is one of those examples of why people ******* hate English.

Actually it's completely solid, but you need to speak a language that uses negated positives for it to make sense.
Mallak Azaria GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 3259	Posted - 2013.06.25 14:20:00 - [34] - Quote Ktula wrote: This thread would have double the replies if everyone that says "COULD CARE LESS" actually took the time to post a response. No joke, i heard a fellow Australian actually say that to me today (hence i started the thread) and i questioned him on, why do you say it that way and the answer i got was "F OFF". Apparently is was a mis-pronunciation. He's been hanging around Americans too much & has a weak mind. Not a good combination. The guy who was sitting next to me in the first nullsec round table who had obviously not had a shower since before boarding his flight to Iceland, you really stank. You know who you are.
Tamus Rochenko Maya Galactic Commerce 7	Posted - 2013.06.25 14:20:00 - [35] - Quote De'Veldrin wrote: And while we're on the topic: Is it bitchslap, ***-slap, or * slap? Also, CCP - your profanity filter is about as smart as my dog. And he licks his own ass. I figure it's got to be ***-slap Two separate words creating an action word. I think.

I've always wondered about the word "Won't" It's abbreviated for Will not...but that is not possible! This is one of those examples of why people ******* hate English. "Willn't" would be pretty hard to pronounce. I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all.
Kult Altol Confederation Navy Research Epsilon Fleet 501	Posted - 2013.06.25 17:11:00 - [39] - Quote God forbid that language evolves. irregardless yoloswag. An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded. A narrow mind is a focused mind.

There's evolution, and then there's being taken out back and systematically beaten with poor grammar and spelling. I eat your hatred for breakfast, then wash it down with your tears.
Tixam Quri Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 25	Posted - 2013.06.25 17:58:00 - [41] - Quote I couldn't poll less... ... since apparently I have just polled.

Amarra Mandalin Red Federation RvB - RED Federation 713	Posted - 2013.06.26 17:38:00 - [42] - Quote Muad 'dib wrote: Could is USA Could'nt is UK They mean the same. The USA version seems to be more "i could care less, but i dont/wont/cant" The UK version more "I literally, am incapable of caring any less" my 2 pence guess... Nope. No mainstream writing style guide (AP, Chicago etc.) or its authors would ever endorse, "could care a less." I don't know of any non-mainstream ones that do for that matter. But I'm not exempting the possibility that grammar radicals exist.
Mr Kidd Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 1228	Posted - 2013.06.26 17:50:00 - [43] - Quote I couldn't care less about this thread. HTFU!...for the children!
Kult Altol Confederation Navy Research Epsilon Fleet 517	Posted - 2013.06.26 18:18:00 - [44] - Quote Irregardless, it's offical, these is no read line under it. There for it is a word. An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded. A narrow mind is a focused mind. -irregardless, I'm with Yolo Swaggins, and the followship of the bling.-á

Echo Echoplex School of Applied Knowledge Caldari State 21	Posted - 2013.06.26 19:33:00 - [46] - Quote Irregardless, I'm routing through my chester drawers for the Could Care Less sign and cannot find it. I must be loosing my mind. That, or your the one's whor'e nut's. Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets. Gen. George S. Patton

The USA version seems to be more "i could care less, but i dont/wont/cant" The UK version more "I literally, am incapable of caring any less" my 2 pence guess... I could care less - means what it says. I couldn't care less - also means what it says. This is not a signature.

If you're a Yankee. 2. If you're a Rebel (in the South we use double negatives). "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ~George Orwell
Ranger 1 Ranger Corp 4312	Posted - 2013.06.26 20:24:00 - [49] - Quote Ramona McCandless wrote: Muad 'dib wrote: Could is USA Could'nt is UK Dual B wrote: I automatically assume people who use option one are mentally inhibited. I had to give you a like on that one, even though I'm from the USA. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base.

Arduemont The Asteroid Solution 1566	Posted - 2013.06.26 20:40:00 - [51] - Quote Every time someone says "and that's a fact!", science kills a kitten. Edit: On an only slightly related note, what is with the auto-correct trying to correct "it's". If something belongs to "it", then that thing is "it's", not "its". That drives me mad.

The USA version seems to be more "i could care less, but i dont/wont/cant" The UK version more "I literally, am incapable of caring any less" my 2 pence guess... Pretty sure it's couldn't... Although I have got no idea what I just poked my nose into... I'll take an option two while we're at it...please? It's human nature to want to explore. To find your line and go beyond it. The only limit, is the one you set yourself.
Tyrton Imbecile MIiss Managment and Disasters Intergalactic Interstellar Interns 34	Posted - 2013.06.27 01:24:00 - [53] - Quote Oh I have to join in. I work in a technical field. Actual phrase from the talent "Where is my windy thingy?" She the above mentioned talent was looking for her lavalier windscreen. Thingy, whatchamacallit, tingamajig should be banned.

You are incorrect It's = contraction of "It is" Its = belongs to it I'm afraid this is one of those times when Ingleesh is counter-intuitive. Tell The Others
