The September Dam...When is it going to break?

[lavuuk153]

The”i” and the “e” rule applies when they are consecutive letters. What school did you dudes go to? Chief has enough of basketball stuff going right now without discussing grammar.

It also doesn’t apply a bunch of times...casual rule.

I knew it was a mistake by Chief to even bring it up. I guess I deserve this headache?

Just stick to the grind.

Your fault for breaking the gag order.

 

[Ewekon]

Your fault for breaking the gag order.

This whole gag order thing blows. Hence the gag.

I was taught “-i before -e except after -c or when sounding like -a in neighbor or weigh”.

Well you gotta go with the full rule:

I before e,
except after c,
or when sounding like "a"
as in neighbor and weigh.

Stopping at the first line is more of a casual grammarian thing.

You must of had a good elememtary school system. Where Chief went to school, they never covered the “a” thing.

Just getting in now - a busy month.

But ya know what's weird...?

It’s actually quite sad. It’s more like seeing someone with a mental illness start believing their own hallucinations.

You and @UChusky916 seem to be pretty much on the same page in your regard for Chief's persona, disconnected enough from your emotions to express your distaste by using "it" rather than "I" as the subject in the most critical sentences you write.

It's not for me to say whether IT is "sad" or "amazing" or "embarrassing," but I know I don't agree with your characterizations and don't like being told them as though they're anything other than your contrary opinions.

I'd feel differently if I were reading from either of you, "I'm amazed...," "I'm embarrassed...," or "I'm sad..." Such phrasing, of course, can leave one more personally exposed & emotionally vulnerable.

Perhaps if you started referring to yourself in the third person...

Chief just might be the best online persona in the history of the internet. Just when you think you have seen maximum Chief, he raises the bar.

"Chief neither makes the bar higher nor lower. Chief goes wider, making it harder to go around him. Chief is his own dimension."

Sorry Chief. The correct phrasing should be, "You must have had" and not "You must of had". Helping keep Chief on top here is good for the mojo.

Sounds the same if using must’ve though.

My fourth grade teacher Miss Lavender use to say, "When in doubt, use 'musta.'"

Actually, that would be spelling.

Now we're covering grammar.
How about getting back to the dam?

Sick post dude. Definitely worth your time at 3AM Saturday.

Letting dudes do what they seem to know about that doesn’t particularly interest Chief. Imagine if Bunkey ever turned these grammar dudes loose cleaning up his Instragram?

...and occasionally appears

Thanks.

It was part of waking up from a lengthy & refreshing Indiana highway rest stop nap when storms made it unwise to keep driving from StLou to LouKY.
