My favorite is when someone says “I’m going to google search that.” Google is a search engine, so you don’t need to say “search”.

Another one is “Six in one, half dozen the other.” Who came up with that stupid shit? English dies each time.

Google is a company; Google Search is their search engine, so technically this is correct.

Sometimes while typing in English I have to rely on the following: "That that"
It's pretty strange because "That" has different translations in Spanish.
Let me try a literal translation:

"Ella dijo que eso es muy malo"
"She said that that is really bad"

" ... que ésa no es la respuesta"
" ... that that is not the answer"

:unsure:

So would you say that this that means one thing, and that that that means another?

You might be on to something here. “The Edge of The Forum” should actually be “The Edge”. It is already a forum and doesn’t need the title. Look at all the other forum titles. None of the have “forum” in the title, because they are already known as forums.

It used to just be called "The Edge" but then we got a C&D notice for copyright infringement and had to rename it.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
