Intermittens #4

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Now accepting submissions for Intermittens #4... I am thinking this will be the "Lollercaust issue" and you know what that means!


For this issue can we all just knock the fuck off with the "but not all" qualifier? I think that people here are literate enough to TOTALLY GET that if you MEANT "ALL", you would have SAID "ALL".

Adding more words does not always convey more meaning.

Am I way off base here? I think it just trains people to think they DO mean "all" unless specified otherwise. If anyone misunderstands "some" to mean "all" they need to STOP BEING SO FUCKING LITERATELY LAZY.

"Some" "Most", and "Many" DON'T MEAN ALL. We get it.

I agree with most of what you said, but not all.

If I say that I always masturbate, does that mean I am masturbating right now....

Which conversations prompted this, Nigel?

Okay, now I do.

Style is just as open to criticism and mocking as anything else, maybe more so.

This poster's assessment of the situation is correct.

I wouldn't suggest it should not be open to criticism, etc. I was just kinda playing devil's advocate.
