Kevin DuBrow posted:The S. in Ulysses S. Grant doesn’t stand for anything, but arose from a clerical error when he was enrolled at West Point. “Simpson” was in no way his middle name, just his mother’s maiden name. His real name was Hiram Ulysses Grant. I don’t know if it’s apocryphal, but he didn’t like his initials being HUG.

Trying to imagine explaining this to my grandmother, a simple farmers wife whose main interest in life was staring into the fire from her rocking chair while the radio played in the background.

I thought it was "fuschia". Apparently this misspelling is so common that google won't even tell me it's misspelled if I spell it that way lol.

Oh apparently Anglophones pronounce it /ˈfjuːʃə/ for some reason. I guess in that case it makes sense.

If you want to be a spelling bee you have to know things like that, can't blame the word for it.

Failed Imagineer posted:Agreed, 10yo can gently caress off, I'm not making excuses. quote:Historically the word bee has been used to describe a get-together for communal work, like a husking bee, a quilting bee, or an apple bee. According to etymological research recorded in dictionaries, the word bee probably comes from dialectal been or bean (meaning "help given by neighbors"), which came from Middle English bene (meaning "prayer", "boon" and "extra service by a tenant to his lord") "Sewing bee" = communal clothes making "Paring bee" = preparing harvested apples "Raising bee" = communal building construction "Hanging bee" = lynching Snowglobe of Doom has a new favorite as of 09:55 on Jun 6, 2020 |

KHLAV KALASHNIKOV posted:I thought he went upstairs and never came back down, or was that someone else? It's possible, i thought i remembered him officially going off to school, but poking around the web a bit says he just stopped showing up without explanation some time in season 2. Also, i just found out he was played by two different actors before vanishing, and was already a college student.

He went to the same place as the younger daughter from Family Matters, the sister from Boy Meets World*, Walt from Lost, and countless others. *Although Boy Meets World brought her back at some point and had her make a joke that she was in her room for a long time.

bad posts ahead!!! posted:a terrace and a trellis are two different things. I didn't just learn it, but once upon a time my mind was blown when I learned the handrail isn't the banister. Like, sliding down a banister wouldn't work how you think it does.

Len posted:Walt got off the island, it was a very clear and announced thing Yeah, but they def did that and avoided showing very much of him after (unlike ask the others that got off the island) because he grew too much, as kids do.
