Why does this remind me of a certain song from the South Park Movie? ;)

At any rate, I've started to write "bleep" instead of asterisks, dashes, etc.

For instance, "we won't say bleep, bleep no." :)

Not sure why your post reminded me of this but it did. :D Regardless, zydeco is happy music. :rofl:
 
Are we allowed to mask with the old school character set (&%*$^!)?
Can we use Sci-fi jargon like "Oh shard"

I'm not sure it needs to be defined. I know that cursing is frowned upon so I just try to use good judgment. For instance, if I would be happy to let my 8 year old niece read it I know it would pass greater scrutiny by the MC.

That last part is making my brain smoke. Hate negative logic!

I learned some of best cuss words from my young niece, ;)
 
I read it like three times and couldn't figure it out either..Gave up. :)

I usually solve those by changing one parameter to the opposite, and if I understand it, then the opposite of that is what the writer meant.

Therefore,

The latter says "I don't know it would pass", which means he thinks it's possible it wouldn't. The OPPOSITE of that (the former) therefore means he think's it's possible it would.

I think.

LOL

I meant to write "For instance, if I would be happy to let my 8 year old niece read it I know it would pass greater scrutiny by the MC."

Doh!

So really my double negative, while horrible grammar, would add up to a double positive as intended...I think.

I think you're going to have to ask your wife to re-write that sentence because it still confuses me.

Please allow me to translate your request into double-negative speak so the poster in question can understand it:

Please don't ask you wife to not rewrite the sentence in question.

Or alternative phrasing:

Please ask your wife not to not rewrite the sentence in question.

The choice is yours. Thank you for your time and attention in this matter.

My 9-year-old niece's language would make a sailor blush... although I must say it's improved a bit since I secured both her parents' permission to wash her mouth out with soap if the occasion arises.

:nono: Far be it from me to criticize how others choose to parent, but that one bothers me more than spanking gets some people riled up. Maybe it was the fact that my folks would have you bite down into the bar before the pulled it out, but it gets my feathers ruffled... going for a walk now. :mad3: :mad2:

I didn't say I would actually do it. I wouldn't. I just said that I had their permission.

Sorry I didn't make that clear.

(I ate a few bars myself as a kid, by the way.)

That's cool. You're right that the threat of it can be powerfully effective. I can still taste it. Uggggh.

Wow, I think I just heard my 8th grade English teacher's head explode. Or maybe that was mine.
 
troy, if you can still taste the soap, it must've worked.
