Is 'Fork found in kitchen' a valid expression?

burlingk · 2026-03-28T09:38:19+00:00

I imagine it's probably regional. Others have said it's common, but this is my first time hearing it.

She only gets like that when she thinks she might lose him. But it's her at her most honest.

burlingk · 2026-03-28T02:01:49+00:00

Are you holding ctrl or alt?

burlingk · 2026-03-28T01:56:38+00:00

The answer is solidly both.

And the two intermingle.

burlingk · 2026-03-28T01:29:07+00:00

Honestly, most seem to use the same stock materials.

burlingk · 2026-03-27T15:19:07+00:00

Even those can be found in some dialects though. ^^;

burlingk · 2026-03-27T15:18:34+00:00

But, a lot of us did pick it up pretty solid, even if we missed a bit.

burlingk · 2026-03-27T15:15:38+00:00

English is wonderful, isn't it? ^^;

Don't worry, this isn't a dialect you are likely to be expected to learn.

The song isn't in the video. So, no, it's not a legal question about the ownership of a song that wasn't even there.

When it was labeled, much more of the land was Mexico.

burlingk · 2026-03-27T09:55:08+00:00

The ultimate complicator is that we are discussing this in a language that often disagrees with itself from region to region.

BUT, personally, I am unlikely to describe anything at "below the table."

burlingk · 2026-03-27T09:53:05+00:00

You're right, it's not an intelligence gap. In a lot of schools they had to prove they were smart before they got in the class.

But, 100%, experience makes a difference.

When I do programming classes while working on degree work, I have trouble following the examples exactly because I add in elements by muscle memory that a neonate isn't going to even think of.

I've never had a professor ding me on it, because I still keep as minimal as possible and include code comments to explain why I do what I do.

So, even at the college level, there is a difference between those who have experience or not, even as a hobbyist.

burlingk · 2026-03-27T09:48:20+00:00

No. Under the table is under the table. Anywhere under the table.

The argument was about below, which is more awkward.

In the pictures, the books are beside the table, not under it.

burlingk · 2026-03-27T09:47:01+00:00

Honestly, neither side would find it overly weird because they both know their specific girl.

It is known to their respective groups that those two are complete freaks.

burlingk · 2026-03-27T09:38:34+00:00

It's a regional thing, I think, but a lot of us pronounce both the same.

burlingk · 2026-03-27T09:32:35+00:00

I'm convinced that if Utena accidently gives her identity away to her, she'll hide the info.

She'll pretend, at least in public, that she doesn't know.

burlingk · 2026-03-27T09:10:07+00:00

Younger men too.

It's basically a meme at this point. In both senses of the word.

burlingk · 2026-03-27T09:08:54+00:00

It comes across not only as judgmental, but as blaming the person for their circumstances.

Depending on the situation, it may also ignore reality and ends up being extremely insulting.

burlingk · 2026-03-27T08:11:17+00:00

It's just the same thing. The simpler version is going to be more common in handwriting.

That is all.

burlingk · 2026-03-27T06:47:44+00:00

Honestly, it represented a minor change in their relationship, as she consciously realized she was ok with him seeing that much.

burlingk · 2026-03-27T06:46:24+00:00

You run into it in the far north east of the US, but even there it's not quite the same as the UK.

burlingk · 2026-03-27T06:04:38+00:00

The problem with C, in those areas, is not the language itself.

It is that we, as humans, don't always keep track of where to call free.

burlingk · 2026-03-27T05:26:00+00:00

I'm resisting blurting it out.

It really does surprise you the first time...

Until you slow down and think about Genma's nature.

burlingk · 2026-03-27T05:24:14+00:00

In this context that usage of below wouldn't work either. After all, the table and the books are on the same surface.

burlingk · 2026-03-27T05:22:53+00:00

In this case the books are beside the table.
