I’m taking a TEFL course online, and I’m taking a test with the question “What is grammatically wrong with this sentence?; “She bought much avocados from the grocery store.”

man Achewood got me done up wretched

While "many" is the accepted usage in English... what IS wrong with using much?

A quick google search and I just learned about countable vs uncountable nouns, and how I knew that rule without actually knowing that rule.

It's the easiest way to silently show off that you work for Apple.


In a slightly related way, I remember that during Occupy Wall Street someone wrote on a door of a meeting house "In the minds of the main mattering men, the slow down before the speed up adds to the art of the artifice." That was the wisdom of one Todd Todd Todd Todd Todd T Squirrel.

I'm imagining being the kind of person who cares that other people know you work at a silicon valley joint enough that you advertise it all the time.

Now I'm trying to imagine being the kind of person who cares whether or not someone else works at a tech company.

I swear I remember a short series of strips where Roast Beef accidentally stumbles onto a scheme that nets him gently caress You Money for the rest of his life, but he's so socially unprepared for this that it almost destroys him emotionally. Ray recognized this and offers to make the problem go away, but also makes sure that while Beef's bank account will always be small, it will never be zero, and he'd always be able to get anything he really wanted.

Am I misremembering?

Yes, old people are out of touch and often have heads full of out of date, backwards ideas, but kids can also do just the dumbest goddamn things they can think of.

On the upside, maybe you could get mad rutty with the social worker that shows up later.

Get rid of the free afternoon! Work, go out with friends, read a book, do some pushups, stare at the ceiling, sear a steak! I’m not a drat slave master. Do anything but lie around all drat day and “enjoy your free afternoon.” That is ridiculous. How old am I, an ancient Asian?
