2 Things: The spelling of the word 'Building' and games for adults

Biulding!!!!!!

First Subject: you're right...you're weird or would that be wierd

Second Subject: Add to Dodge Ball, 4-Square and Tetherball as fun games

4 square... never heard of that.


BIULDING!!!!!

no, no, no.... it's BILLDING.

4-Square is like tennis or ping-pong but played with a dodge ball with 4 people each with his own square. http://www.ehow.com/eHow/eHow/0,1053,13523,00.html

....and the dumbing-down of the world's vocabulary continues unabated.....sigh.....

Whole-heartedly agree with post #2 [at least 1st line!]
I always thought 4-Square was something weird they made up where I went to school. It was fun, I always got stomped at tetherball though.
Definitely into volleyball these days, though I broke my foot last time I played.
I guess you can spell BUILDING any way you like. One look at most message boards and you know that English has been all but abandoned.

I don't know guys. the word building just bothers me to no end. I spell it write mostly because my friends influenced me to do so but I still think is is wrong.

weird is another one of those words as well. sounds crappy... well looks crappy, but sounds OK.


Oh thanks for letting me know what 4 square is. I was thinking that it was something like what I saw some adults playing in the village a few days ago.

they looked so cool especially one particular lady. WOW!


Looks at the word 'lady' doesn't it seem more to the liking of a womens shape? But not building.

Jafo, misspell building for me... or respell biulding as it should be


building.

Phil you need to get out more....you're losin' it

....and the dumbing-down of the world's vocabulary continues unabated.....sigh.....

It's Jafo vs. World!

Who will win?? Stay tuned!

errrr..... why should building reflect the shape of a woman? I've always worried about you joe, now more so.

He's kind of like the Insomniac, dyslexic agnostic, who stayed up all night questioning the existence of dog!

Stop saying building and say structure.

Joe post #8 What are we talking about Building or write = right?

In my handy-dandy Webster's New World Dictionary the lovely word "build" is from the Old English word, "bold", which means "house".

Also, the lovely word "weird" is from another Old English word, "wyrd" which means "fate".

So Mr. Joe, I would suggest that you find a very Old English person and ask them to explain why!

Isn't the English language wonderful?!? Well, at least we don't have to differentiate between masculine-feminine-neutral when we define words, as some languages do! Mercy! Too many big words too late at night! (More info than you wanted to know, (or not!) right????) Please note Mr. Jafo, I put my dictionary to use just for you! Blessings to you all!

I saw somewhere the other day that there is a new pro dodge ball league starting up next year and will be televised.

and its Billding!

Building, smilding. Everyone knows it's gebäude!

next up, color VS colour debate, stay tuned

The word "business" always makes me mad as well as the word "thier" (spelling)

Grey or Gray?

And then there is "Aluminum" .... hehe!

i don't like the way 'Q' looks. its my right as a typographer. i think it's ugly and unbalanced, and you miss marking the tail if you're in a rush, and it gets mistaken for a O.

when i'm hand writting i make a questionmark shaped letter, but without the period. that got me in trouble once in high school, i was taking a quiz in multiple choice and wrote the ? instead of the standard Q.. even though everything else on the test matched up and the q would be in the proper place by default, the teacher refused to accept my explanation and marked that one wrong. people are so closed minded.

joe, i had an english teacher in high school who could spoke old english.. it was VERY interesting. a word like 'Knight' was spelled 'knight' but pronoucned 'Ke Nih G(uh) t' .. a few words in UK english, like 'herb', pronounced here 'erb' are still 'Herb'. if i had my way i'd spell every word as they sounded, and have seperate words to differenciate between those that are spelled the same and mean 3 different things.. though i can see dialects having wars over that.

.

i also have an intense dislike for the number 6 because i think it's unbalanced.

but i already know i'm weird..

Re: #24

Considering that in this one post, you have at least thirty errors in capitalization, more than a dozen errors in punctuation, improper use of the form its (meaning belonging to it) vs. the form it's (meaning it is), and numerous other errors to include article disagreement (a O), improper tense (spoke), improper useage (closed minded vs. closeminded), disagreement in number (every word... they), and the misspelling of 'differentiate', I'd suggest that you might have undermined your own argument. Typically it's more effective as argument or instrument of change to master the rules before flouting them. Just my opinion.
