Tomorrow is the last day of the fall semester

And it totally doesn't have anything to do with conquering the most territory either.

You're so right, as usual. You are very perceptive, aren't you.

That should have been punctuated with a question mark ,so yes.

I've also noticed that you have no sense of humour which Goddamn my overly developed sense of perception,I wish I could ignore.

Millions of women have to have their breasts removed, but only Angelina Jolie gets the opportunity to brag about it.

Fuck you.

It's not "mathematic class" therefore it's not "math class".

What?

I'm desperately sorry I missed this thread now, it was a bit of a 'fire and forget' because I assumed the OP couldn't read. You all handled it so eloquently though, I'm impressed.

Some of the highlights for me:

DngrMs, take a look at this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/30/ed...s-in-math.html . Hopefully, reading this article will convince you that the word "math" exists in English.

The "New York" Times. Very authoritative source on proper English that is, yes.

Oh, I see. Well, in that case, you should have more respect for American English, DngrMs. I believe it's more popular than any other form of English.

American spelling is an unnecessary bastardisation of English brought about by lazy, uneducated, ignorant writing; what exists to respect in that?

Oh for fuck sake. Better put him out of his misery before he takes an aspie aneurysm.

The word is mathematics, not mathematic. Therefore the abbreviated version should be maths, not math. He was basically calling Americans in general, and you yourself in particular, stupid, innit.

I'm all about spoiling peoples' fun these days.

And you were all so patient with him...

He was drawing a distinction between European and American English, you dopey mong-a-long. It bemuses me that your misfiring synapses get so fixated on something so comparatively tame when all the other insults (you are the butt of all jokes in this lounge, after all) breeze past you like a gentle zephyr.

He fucking knows it exists in the language, twat.

More from the Golden Chalice.

If the Americans had MORE RESPECT for OUR language, they wouldn't have fucking changed it in the first place. The simple fact that 'maths' has been changed to 'math' in the US is proof that we should have issued a license for those pesky Yanks to use our language.

Besides, the fact that more people speak English, excepting Chinese, is testament of how popular our language is. After all, not many Yanks speak French, German, Spanish or Dutch as a primary language (well, maybe Spanish and a little French).

That pretty much says it all.

Ignorance, awareness, defensiveness and defeat. Poetic.

Today I submitted all the documents pertaining to my appeal request. Let's hope they won't deny my petition for retroactive withdrawal or else I am fucked.

Seems you can concentrate on petition paperwork...

I got that too.
If OlgeL would put in half the effort on his schoolwork as he does trying to extract himself from the trouble caused by not studying then he'd probably be the smartest spastic on the planet.

[megabyteme]

smartest spastic on the planet.

Perhaps Ars can work up an award for Oleg with his mad nerd skillz.

If they accept my petition, I will study hard in the fall.

[IdolEyes787]

..... I will study hard in the fall.

Ironically OlegL copy/pasted this from June 2012.

No matter how hard you study, you just can't turn a ho into a housewife.
