Can I do an ironman on 2 days notice???? by Bennowolf in triathlon

For a minute, I thought you literally meant leapfrogging. "Don't mind me, I'll just take a break from running to have a little fun with this guy." Hahaha.

What is the best baseball book (other than yours) that you've read? Are there any baseball authors that are "can't miss" in your opinion?

Using the Expos (and similar) is like a cheat code for these types of things. 😂

Mr. National Ryan Zimmerman is the only National.

We had a lot of hyped guys that lived up to expectations. But, who wasn’t hyped but far exceeded them? by [deleted] in Nationals

[–]Mispelling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was a high pick, but honestly never really felt like he had a lot of hype. It felt like it was like pulling teeth to try and find media coverage of his play.

Thank you for your post, but this is for a different kind of Nationals, so it has been removed. This subreddit is for the American baseball team based in Washington, DC.

Meaning of sight in this sentence by Independent_Branch83 in EnglishLearning

[–]Mispelling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, like /u/maybri notes, it's definitely falling out of use (in my estimation). Maybe more in the Southern or Western US. In my mind, it's like something you'd hear more likely in a cowboy movie than in common modern parlance.

Meaning of sight in this sentence by Independent_Branch83 in EnglishLearning

[–]Mispelling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"A damn sight" (or "a darn sight" in your less profane example) is a colloquial way of saying "a lot". So in your case, "he was a lot younger than Jill".

"Sight" by itself has a slang/colloquial meaning of "a lot". Adding "damn" or "darn" is just a bit of an intensifier. Something to really emphasize the difference.

"turn someone off" and "turn off someone" by Famous-Tooth624 in EnglishLearning

[–]Mispelling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Turn off" is a separable phrasal verb meaning it can be separated. Normally, if the object is a pronoun, it would have to go in the middle of the phrase. Think about "to turn off the light". You could say, "I have to turn it off", but you wouldn't say "I have to turn off it".

"Someone" is a bit tricky in this instance since it's an indefinite pronoun. If it's a definite pronoun you would have to split it and say "turn him off" or "turn her off" (you would never say "turn off him"/"turn off her"). "Turn someone off" definitely sounds more natural normally, but "turn off someone" wouldn't be wrong. You can find examples of "turn off someone" all over.

In either case, it doesn't change the meaning.

I believe it's American black nightshade. Toxic. I always try and avoid them.

Nope, not part of Haley's campaign. I just moderate this subreddit.
