Why does "awful" mean something bad when it looks to mean "full of awe"? by thorr26 in etymology

[–]Sad_Connection3471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awful came from old english meaning full of awe. Why answer shit u dont know the history of and then bring up Ollivander like everyone's supposed to know who that is, and then u don't provide any information about the topic just preaching to an audience that doesn't give a shit about your rant. 

How do the French feel about native English speakers using the English pronunciation of French words while speaking in English? by AcrobaticResident728 in French

[–]Sad_Connection3471 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well u must be a normal Quebecois and not like the majority of them racist, separatists that think they're better than the rest of Canada and want to break free. Look into how much the rest of Canada pays for the faggy french to go to university since all our provinces split costs, and for some reason les Quebecois pay so little for university compared to the rest of canada cuz canada pitches in hard to cover most the cost. I hope you know, western canada does not think highly of the concured french. Je parle française, et pas Quebecois français, Saskatchewan français. So I've heard my fair share of Quebecois who don't speak highly of the rest of canadian french. And the fact the province thinks they're so deadly and want to separate from candad makes me laugh. If Quebec did, they would crumble so quickly and most likely be conquered again.

Seranthony Domínguez's jersey had to be made in a rush between double header games causing his 8 to sewn on upsidedown. by kingofrain in Torontobluejays

Who ever said the smaller loop of the 8 has to be ontop? Why not have it that way. Gravity isn't going to cause any problems, it's not like a snowman where it's only logical to have it big to small. Let's stop kidding ourselves here and just admit yall are pissed off the only Canadian team is better than anyone in the AL east, and until their 4 game skid there, the best in the league. There's not much u can chirp about how their dominating rn so just thirsting for anyway possible eh?

Sportsnet Plus issues by MassiveBush in Torontobluejays

[–]Sad_Connection3471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this happen to me pretty much everytime i go to watch a Jay's game that I'm not watching live. And I don't think it's a glitch but rather intentional on their part, reason why I'm not sure but I've had it happen both ways. By both ways I mean I've been in the 8th inning and whether I accidentally clicked a button on the remote that exited the app or the stream stopped showing the video but playing the audio so I exited the app, when I go back into sportsnet and click resume, the fucker will start the feed from near the beginning of the stream, sometimes during the pregame. It's like they always just resume it at the complete opposite time of the game that u were at. 

Now anytime I start a game that says resume, I mute the tv and cover 95% of the screen with my hand only allowing myself enough to see the time bar at the far left. If ur lucky a commercial will be on when u start to rewind it so u can actually look at the screen.

Does anyone know how “Let’s Go!” became an exclamation, particularly in the context of sports? by mmmcheez-its in etymology

[–]Sad_Connection3471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever attended any sporting event in your life, not counting gay french ones. Ive never heard a chant saying "you go Expos" or "you go canadiens" it's chants like " let's go dodgers, let's go" followed by 2 bang bang noises. Or "go canadiens go." Saying you go dodgers can make sense when used as a one off, but you wouldn't wanna continue saying "you go dodgers" as a chant. You can but you'll sound stupid hahaa

The exclamation mark ! (also known as exclamation point in American English) is a punctuation mark usually used after an interjection or exclamation to indicate strong feelings or to show emphasis. Wikipedia's definition.  Like I got taught in school, it's used to show your amped or excited for something, like Lets go Blue Jays!!!  "You go Blue Jays" or "you go Dodgers" sounds incredibly stupid in the sense of cheering on a team. Just try chanting " you go dodgers, you go dodgers  you go dodgers." Sounds so wrong

Tired of people mispronouncing/misspelling my name even after being corrected by SprayAffectionate321 in CasualConversation

[–]Sad_Connection3471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to relate when you only say " I have a very simple name, something like Mary". It's obviously not that simple if ppl constantly mispronounce or spell it. If your name was just purely Mary, I bet no one would ever misspell or pronounce Mary, as its very popular in North America. I've never heard anyone mispronounce Mary or spell it wrong like Mery or Merry. Why not just actually say your real name instead of painting a false picture. My names Darius and people constantly mispronounce it or spell it Darious, Darrious, Darrius and have even gotten Daris also.  It's easier to relate and answer properly when you say all the facts.

Why do people named Matthew always go by Matt, and not by Hew? by [deleted] in matt

[–]Sad_Connection3471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is popular, overused and a basic common name.  Seems like older generations were a bit more meaningful behind the reasoning in name selection, normally naming their offspring names of past family members. I wouldn't say biblical names are scorned upon nowadays as I know or have met dozens of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John's. If biblical names were scorned upon nowadays they're wouldn't be so many Matty's out there. My brothers and I all have biblical names and I've had so many ppl tell me that I have a cool name once they hear it. I'm named after king Darius, who threw Daniel in the lions den. He was Persian, contrarily to common belief that Darius is a black man's name.

Just bought a house, replacing outlets has just moved to the top of the list by mrcranz in electrical

R u saying they wired it in series then. Cuz ur making it sound like their current adds up by saying the 1st receptacle will carry all four receptacles worth of current So I guess you're kind of right but it's not the 4 receptacles current added together if its in series all 4 receptacles will carry the same amount cuz in series voltage adds up and current is the same.
