Vote Now! May Stundie Finals!

Jimd3100 sounds like it has been quoted out of context.

I would like to see the rest of that sentence.

All you have to do is follow the link in the "May Stundies" thread.

 

[Gaspode]

Slow month indeed. Or just another sign that the movement is dying?

I voted for Killtown. That's a classic Stundie.

 

[OldTigerCub]

PS, what do you mean this was a slow month? These are hilarious!

Good point! While the nominations may be lacking in quantity, there certainly has been no lack of "quality foolishness". Twoof continues to corner the market when it comes to stupid!

I had to go with tthuhta's "IHD" (Improvised Hush-a-boom Device) hypothesis.

But hey, I'm weird.

 

[Dog Town]

electioneering

Are you reading all of theauthor's comment? It's original.

 

[Evilgiraffe]

Definitely Killtown. Just so much wrongness neatly bundled into one paragraph.

I initially nominated it because I was unaware of the US spelling. It was subsequently decided that since the rest of the english speaking world spell it "judgement" that Deep44 was effectively saying that anyone not from the US is stupid.

I'm surprised it made the finals, but I voted for it anyway.

The person I was replying to is from the US -- the word was clearly misspelled.

Plus, if you spell "judgment" as "judgement" (and claim that you're justified in doing so), then you should also be using the non-US spelling for other words, such as: colour, flavour, honour, defence, offence, organise, realise, likeable, liveable, sizeable, (...).

Unless some other non-US spellings are being used consistently, judgment does not have an extra 'e'. Those who are justified in spelling it with an extra 'e' are not "stupid" - my point was, if you're going to tell everyone how smart people are supposed to conduct themselves, make sure you run the message through a spell-checker before you click 'submit'.

It had to be killtown... every step of his experiment is absurd beyond belief. It's not just comparing a steel shovel with an aluminium airliner, not just comparing thrusting an object into the ground compared with an airliner slamming into the ground under power, indeed not even his retelling of his profoundly gifted pitcher nephew and their speed radar is the ultimate, for me the real selling point is in the opening sentence:

"no matter how hard or how fast"

As if he had exhausted the variables possible in his experiment when in truth he had not even delved remotely close to reality.

Unless, of course, you believe those unpatriotic shills Merriam and Webster, who are clearly the Benedict Arnold of orthography.

My point was, if you're going to tell everyone how smart people are supposed to conduct themselves, make sure you run the message through a spell-checker before you click 'submit'.

... or consult a dictionary of American English, that would help.

Another way to avoid the appearance of boneheaded stupidity involves not being a Truther.

 

[Wildy]

Actually, as far as number 3... I THINK it IS spelled "judgment". Please no one nominate me for a Stundie if I'm wrong, but I just spell-checked "judgment" and it comes up OK. "Judgement" comes up wrong.

Is that the reason this was nominated, or is there something else?

Well he did look like an idiot when he said it, especially IIRC, that the poster he was calling an 'idiot' was not an American.

I would have voted for deep44, but instead voted for jimd3100, that one made me laugh.

So you only accept posts written in American English? Gee, I'd hate to see your reaction if someone was to tell you about a theatre in the centre of a city made of aluminium with a colourful cafe with a sizeable and well-organised menu and likeable staff.

Then again in Australian the words "practice" and "practise" have different meanings, and the sentence "Labor is the party for labourers" is correct.

 

[theauthor]

I still think the one about ogvernment workers at the pentagon is not right. Even the most stupid person (ie a debunker) would not say that. He must mean something else.

I deserve this one definitely. Killtown is always good stundie value but he deserves credit for at least performing his shovel experiment.

 

[deep]

... or consult a dictionary of American English, that would help.

Are you telling me that they misspelled "Judgment" in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day"? Sorry, but no.

This is a stupid argument, because if the roles were reversed and I was the one that spelled it wrong, you would be arguing the exact opposite.

Didn't think so. Expected that, really.


Just more typical twoofer research: Ask question, make no effort to find an answer, reject obvious answer when presented because it conflicts with precious, precious beliefs.

 

[mrbaracuda]

I voted for shovels!

Welcome to my ignore list - I would suggest that you add me to yours. In fact, I ask that all of you please add me to your ignore list if you have no interest in actually reading my messages.

I'm sick of repeating myself over and over again because very few of you are willing to spend the 8 seconds it takes to read beyond the first few words of any given message.

I really wish I was capable of stooping down to your level and doing the exact same thing in my responses to you, but I just can't bring myself to do it.
