im not even memeing. living down here is hell enough, but having to interact with the people is another level of insanity. I just had a discussion about ISIS and how we should deal with it and the only answers they could come up with was "nuke em". These people are not the brightest.

as in:

I picked up a box, then moved said box to the other side of the other box. Said box then exploded.

That usually comes in two categories, people who don't give a fuck about grammatical correctness on the internet or people who actually never learned the difference and just use whatever they feel like because it sounds the same.

>>60379766

>people who don't give a fuck about grammatical correctness

This category is smaller than you think. At least when it comes to Americans as a lot of us don't actually know.

Yeah it can be replaced with "the" or "this"/"that" in basically all cases and will actually sound better for it. Definitely annoys me more than it should.

Also phrases like "cautiously optimistic" annoy me because it doesn't seem like a natural way to speak but rather something you learn from the TV and reddit pseudo-intellectuals nowadays.

>patrician

Although it's a good indicator of pretentious middlebrow virgins

>>60381265
I like patrician desu but only when used ironically. It's one of the best terms to use ironically.
>>
>>60381371

Absolutely. It's just that the word has made /tv/ un-browsable which really burns me.

>"[noun like hate] is too strong a [noun like word]"
Why can't it be "hate is a too strong word"?

too-adjective-article-noun sounds very very weird to me

No I don't.

>it's not like [something]
