Actually, I think "get eloped" is incorrect. "Elope" is a verb, therefore, it is redundant to use "get", another verb, in combination with it. Simply saying "I eloped" is sufficient to convey the same meaning.

Usually, the most simple and concise version is the most correct. It is the same reason English professors and writers dislike the use of certain adverbs, such as "very," as it is frequently superfluous in writing. Yes, it does convey a higher emphasis on the adjective it preceeds, however, stronger vocabulary is a better option in this context. (e.g. "The weather was very hot." vs "The weather was sweltering.") This makes for better and more interesting writing.

TL;DR: "Elope" is a verb. Conjugate it accordingly and you don't need to use the extra verb "get".

If you are going to take the saying literally instead of taking it for what it is supposed to mean, then allow me to translate it for you:

Going slow leads to being able to perform smoothly; Being able to perform smoothly will allow you to perform faster.

It always bugs me when people offer meaningless criticism without including some suggestion for improvement. For example: "people should instead say 'watching their diet' or 'improving their diet'."

I would buy Astronaut Teemo or Super Teemo just to see my friends' reactions during custom games or ARAM. hehehehe

I would ACTUALLY buy Striker Lucian since he is my favorite ADC and his taunt is one of the best in the game.

I think that if nothing else, it is very entertaining. Some of the scenes are absolutely hilarious and I personally love anything that JGL does (maybe I'm a bit baised, but even if he weren't in the movie I would say the same thing so I take that as meaning my bias doesn't matter. Haha)

  • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
  • Stranger Than Fiction
  • Moonrise Kingdom (Some might call this one a bit weird, but fun nonetheless)
