Pedantic grammar nazi here: "My dog ran away."
Or "My dog has run away."
But not "My dog has ran away."
I really can't explain the grammar rules of English tense construction, probably involving words like "past", "past imperfect", "past implausible" or "plutonic future protective past invective"
. But after 60 years of reading and hearing good English, "has ran away" just explodes my brain.
Although spelling error is a good excuse.
Edited to add: Googled it. Wikipedia says: "Has ran" is an incorrect present perfect form, because the past participle of the verb to run is run, not ran. Ran is the simple past tense."
Now, somebody please explain what is a "present perfect" and a "past participle", in words that even a computer engineer can understand.
I've been studying Russian as something to keep my brain active in my ancient years. I did OK with the alphabet, word pronunciation, names, nouns, plurals and gender changes, but verbs and their conjugations seem even more complex than English.
So, I'm limited to reading Russian names, street signs, maps, movie titles, personnel lists, and Russian movie English subtitles. Although, after much effort I have memorized and can recite, two famous Russian poems.
Which is a somewhat noteable achievement because I can only recite one English poem!
My housemate was playing music with lyrics I cannot post here. If I used that language out in public at the mall, I would be banned from that mall.
complainnt my back aches
i have to constantly hunch to get close enough to my screen to read it
debugging today. dee bug.
one more thing to do for my fast parts database project. a way to look up a part we've previousy ordered, grab the info and add it to a create new order form.
dunno if i should separate vendor and vendor contact into 2 fields.
The way I write must make you crazy... worse yet, you should hear me talk.
I use only 100% Free Range grammar. I’m (mostly) aware of what grammar should sound like or how it should be written, but I gave up caring long ago.
Actually, I don’t think I ever really cared much... when I was a kid, my English teachers scared the hell out of me, that if I didn’t use proper grammar, demons from the deepest depths of hell were going to rip me to shreds... or maybe that was about something else, it was a catholic school and I didn’t pay a lot of attention, but they made a big deal about grammar, but then I realized when they talked they often failed to use proper grammar... and as I read older books and stories from different time periods, I realized the conventions of grammar changed here and there... words had different meanings as time went by... For the most part, I realized it didn’t matter to me if I spoke correctly, as long as someone understood what I was trying to say.
My wife still tries to correct stuff I’ve written. I still insist, that’s not what I sound like (corrected), or how I talk.
One of my most satisfying moments in human interaction was when after a few months working together, a coworker asked me “Do you mind me asking... where the hell are you from? You don’t have a New York accent, but you sound like you are from the south one minute, England the next, maybe somewhere in Europe, Brooklyn, Australia, Germany, California, Boston or Canada?... what the hell?”
I was very pleased with myself because he was always correcting people’s usage of English and I was never actually trying to puzzle him.
But in the event my manglement of English is painfu or distracting to anyone... I’m truly sorry. I’m not going to change, but I apologize for not changing.
Kinky...
New Complaint: I bought some assets and thought: I'll throw together a little fun quick little scene. SEVERAL HOURS LATER!!! I'm still trying to get the scene together.
Whenever I run my stories through Grammarly I feel like perhaps English is a language I never gained a clear understanding of. I tend to write how I speak which is kind of a post modern blend of ditzy valley girl with a touch of Ohio Valley Kentuckian and a smidge of stuck up college girl and a twist of avant guard goofiness. It is a wonder anyone can understand me.
Edit: But at least people like my naughty stories. Yay me.
non complaint I have time to play on my computer but complaint I left my computer at home.
Complaint...
I’ve been outside in the humidity, cutting various shaped holes in cement board with a handheld wet/dry tile saw... I’m covered in cement dust... I’m also sweating profusely (iPad insists “professionally”)... (is that an occupational skill?)... this is disgustingly gross and uncomfortable.
I’m inside now sitting in front of a fan in the A/C... my skin is so itchy.
Summer fun.
I think we have different ideas of what is fun.
Do I detect a note of preference towards either being slathered in peanut butter and angry wasps (keeps them angry and stinging longer)... or infectious splinters and poison ivy... I could be wrong.
I'm very bad at buying presents for people... especially choosing the right kind of spiders or beetles to fill the box with.
I like summer, but it’s the humidity around here that kills it... I really, really, really hate being sweaty and grimy.
I want a free chickadee.
non complaint: i like the Genesis 3 to 8 converter.
complaint: i still spent too much money today... and i've not even touched my coupons.
complaint: i apparently had a different skin on my customization of Jane. i can only assume it had something to do with her lady fun zone.
Oops... messed up something.
Sorry... all I can offer is a lovely pair of Tits...
Chickadees are a group of North American birds in the Tit family, included in the genus “Poecile”.
Allegedly the Chickadees name comes from the distinctive sound of their call... “Chicka-dee-dee-dee”... supposedly their regular call is “Fee-bee” (not to be confused with “Free-beer-free-beer”, the call of the North American Booze Jay)...
When they spot a predator, their call changes to “Chickadee”... the number of “dees” is supposed to indicate the number of predators spotted.
That’s what the bird book says, I actually didn’t make that up.
Well... except for the Booze Jay... it’s more of a mocking bird.
But tits are wonderful... I can stare at them for lengthy periods of time, fascinated by their antics... Tits are highly adaptable and intelligent too... they rank up there with Crows, Jays and Parrots. If their ability to count predators and relay that information is correct, it’s no wonder they are considered intelligent. Legend has it that some time around 250 BC, a black crested titmouse named Spiro, relayed to Archimedes the formula for Pi... that or Archimedes made a pie out of a bird named Spiro... it’s a much debated subject amongst historians and pieologists.
Tits are basically insectivores, but will feed on some seeds and nuts too, especially in the winter when most stores stop selling caterpillars and worms. They have a rather strong bill for a tiny bird and can peck open nuts over a period of time, but they prefer to use power tools when available.
Some members of the tit family include: The coal tit, the chestnut bellied tit, the fire capped tit, the rufous-naped tit, the jiggly tit, Pére David’s tit, the great pendulous tit, the white naped tit, the tufted titmouse, the Virginia perky tit, the grey headed chickadee, the boreal chickadee and a variety of other tit jokes I’m going to hold off on at the moment.
While tits are wonderful I think Boobies are great too...
Isn't this pair’s choice of footwear amusing?... but they pull it off.
Boobies got their name from the old Spanish slang word “bobo” which means “stupid”... boobies would often land on the decks of sailing ship and being that they were rather tame and unafraid of humans, were easily captured and eaten.
I personally think it’s rather rude to eat a booby... you should treat them nicely.
Fun fact about boobies... Boobies dive from a great height to catch fish, but they have evolved air sacs under the skin in their faces to help cushion the impact with the water.
Boobies are known to have elaborate and sometimes comical looking courtship dances.
I was being silly. I meant something akin to this in reality! I found the picture online.
blue feets!!
quacks like duck
i haven't been to the Babylon Duck Pond in years.
ise assuming is still there in Babylon.
how do the ducks know is a duck pond?
they read the sighn?
how hard could it be to learn
apache+mysql+php ?
i don't understand what the apache does. the db engine is mysql. the langauge to talk to it is php. so what apache
i met an apache dude in Santa Fe, NM. he taught me how to say 'i want to make love' in his language. yoh sk eh rray Oh sk eh ray.
he bought me a beer, lol. Tommy's bar and grill. was there before the casinos. afraid to see how it's changed after the casino.
coyote art. is there a daz coyote? and is it fixated on a roadrunner?
Same here.
Dana
i guess i should update blender...
1- Babylon is still there... I think... I drove through it yesterday.
2- The short signs are in Duckish.
3- For ducks hard, for Tits, maybe not so hard... they can count so maybe programming isn’t hard for them.
I was being silly too... Mostly.... But what version of Reality? I prefer Iray to Reality... sandwiches render faster.
I’m still using the 1970s version... the book totally does not go with my version of Blender
I could not find an iray render of the chicken sandwich.
Oh, it’s chicken... that’s a relief... I thought it was Booby... they are very gullible birds and Spanish sailors were always tricking them into sitting in an oven or between slices of bread... that’s how they got their name... From the old Spanish word for “dumb bird that lays down in hero sandwich”...
I should of mentioned this earlier but if a swarthy looking Spanish sailor dude tries to sell you a “chicken” sandwich in a back alley or out of a suspicious looking van, just pass on it... unless it’s really cheap and has Vidalia onion sauce and grilled peppers in it... Booby is great with that.
Mmmm... seabird sandwich... mmmm....
I also got crab Rangoon and that was yummy!
My taxi was delayed over an hour, but they are on their way now.
i'm at the frog races in Skywatch
the lil hoppers losing me bets dohh
I am home now.
Pulse matic? I have a ... device that is pulsing...
new improved complaint: my renders are taking a while... and still graining. time to slide those sliders...
I believe it’s called a “Raccoon-Crab”... I’ve never heard of anyone eating them though as they are supposed to be quite poisonous... although they are quite adorable, it’s the pincers most people find disturbing or painful.
Edited to add... I was going to photoshop that, but I’m feeling too lazy and hungry...
too spend or not to spend? that is the question...
complaint 1: i've been trying to render a couple scenes since yesterday but the results have been unsatisfying (grainy, blownout).
sub complaint: i let them render all night long but didn't save the scene or review the last settings i used before i closed them.
complaint 2: i have $40 bucks worth of stuff for today's sale in my cart and i've not hit the button yet.
THe eso crowns sale is over. Too late to buy mundus stones for my eso houses.
I uploaded a bunch of my eso captures to my website. just learning how slow my yahoo host is, 3mb images loading at a crawl
