Rant on and on...
 
I love to rant so here it is. You lot rant as well.

How many times has anyone been reading a book and the word 'til comes up (as in until) but it's spelt till. A till is that fucking thing at the checkout in a supermarket! 'Til is a shortened word for the word until. Therefore, there is an apostrophe in place of the un and the final part of the word. 'til. So why, does it say "and so, the two travelled for days on a diet of bread and cheese till they finally came across it. " HOW CAN THEY CHECKOUT ACROSS IT?! Bloody writers need to get their grammar right!
I would go on but can't be arsed at the moment.

rantings cool


FACT OF THE DAY:

till in Latin (as a verb) is

colo, colere, colui, cultus


there's four parts to every verb, i know it's weird, it depends on which tense you're using.

It's a little known fact that any forum board that doesn't charge a membership fee will attract freaks, losers, pedophiles, people who want you to look at their pee pees, and whiney little twit attention whores. (This has nothing to do with anyone posting in this thread, just an observation :P )

Better change that first part to "well known fact". Too bad many unsuspecting people who dont know this, get caught up in such stuff.

The Internet and such free forums attract the sickos and psychos like flies. :rolleyes:

Trouble is, there is no way of knowing what brains own the fingers that type behind the screens. Better be on guard.;)

I want to mention that I don't like to call it "ranting," nor do I like to see it called ranting. I prefer "yammering and meowling." Much better way of describing.

Most of the time the freaks and the sickos go way over board and should be booted on sight but I hate to say it..... At times they amuse me a little bit... You always have to wonder what stupid SHIT there gonna do next.... Than they get to the point ususally in the first day where they piss 90 percent of the people who arn't freaks and sickos off and they need to go
