I don't like that word either actually. It makes me think of shallow small talk.

Do you mean my Conversate-all-stars are a cheat ?

PANDURITO said:

My pet hate is the word "comedic"


This is a made-up word that people have started using in the last couple of years, e.g.


"Ben Stiller is a great comedic actor"


"The secret is true comedic timing" etc etc.


"Comedy" is the noun. Pertaining to comedy is COMIC



Thick fucks

So Prince wasn't wrong when he asked Ellen De-something on her talkshow if she listens to other comics?

That guy's grammatically challenged anyways, genius my ass

Good grammar turns me on.


From females that is....

Would you like me to diagram a sentence for you ?

I HATE when people say "notate". You can make a note, and leave a notation, but you don't "notate" ANYTHING!








PS - Yes, I'm aware the word is actually in the dictionary, but that doesn't make it acceptable language.

irregardless

Oh.. I thought the word was "anotate" as in to add notes to something. My bad.

rocknrolldave said:

oh, annotate is fine. Perfectly good word.

It's 'notate' that I can't stand. There are people all over my workplace using that word and it's driving me batty.
