Snails - Response on Threads Part 5

[CES]

Get some caffeine, Atty (though for me, it doesn't always help)

You are right that a rout of snails sounds like they're taking over the world or something, and it's a little chilly for a walk (and besides, snails don't have feet! )

 

[AttyPops]

Exactly.

And "escargatoire" ...I'll never spell it correctly without looking it up.

Who makes up this stuff? At least "escargatoire" makes sense, you (well, I) just can't spell it without a lookup.

See edit above.

Saying "Good morning walk" sounds.....confusing. Like I'm going for my good morning walk. Same with "rout". So they are excluded by default due to the "dumb name" rule. You can look up "dumb name rule" if you want. I'm sure it exists.

only because y'all have no love for a comma!

The comma has several uses in English grammar, all related to marking-off separate elements within a sentence.

I love caffeine right now...

G'mornin flyby, snails!

~~~~~~

Not only are the new cubicles smaller, they're less private. Can't surf the interwebs as inconspicuously as before.

You quoted before I removed the "e" from "route" to make "rout". Sigh. Total lack of caffeine this a.m. for me. Sigh again.

Glad you got a laugh though.

I've had some but not neeeeeeeeeeearly enough!

Good morning, Mad. I couldn't "like" your post about smaller cubicles and less privacy. hmph.

Lost, if i were to cook, i might find my inspiration in cooking my family and dogs. or perhaps not.

I like commas, but mine tend to be wild and obey neither me nor the common rules of grammar,

Time to get the day started. Stay warm, y'all

 

[tiburonfirst]

later, ces! drive safely!

 

[tiburonfirst]

mad, you better present your complaint to hr - something needs to be done asap!


if all else fails be like lost - send all prying eyes on out-of-town trips

Atty, I concede to being in a rut, and it behooves me which route to take to get the h*** out of it!

Yeah! But you're supposed to concede being in a rout (group of snails) too!
