Hope that doesn't happen!

Amen!

Oh man, silly me. Well, I do use "look for" or "search" more often.

I don't even know the meaning of "sought"...

Well, in case you still don't get the joke after 10 years (in a small chance you're reading this): Would you buy a dog who will come back to the seller?

To develop this formula, the researchers tracked the status of 177 irregular verbs in Old English through linguistic changes in Middle English and then modern English. Of these 177 verbs that were irregular 1,200 years ago, 145 stayed irregular in Middle English and just 98 remain irregular today, following the regularization over the centuries of such verbs as help, laugh, reach, walk, and work.

I would love to know what the previous past tense forms of those verbs were. That way I could try to resurrect them and mess up the findings. tongue

Well, since the past form of "teach" is "taught", the past form of "reach" at the time might be "raught".

This exchange amuses me. I have been lurking on the old threads and saw that Zach was quite a troublemaker, and seeing that he, of all people, decided to stay on topic which has been derailed by ARB, you know that ARB has really crossed the line.

When at least 8 people have boarded, moan from the back: "Oh, not now, darn motion sickness!"

Glad to know that I'm not the only one who feels sick in an elevator, and that there's an actual term for it. I kept saying the sick feeling I feel when I'm in an elevator as "landsick", the terrestrial equivalent of "seasick".

ARB has re-joined more than once and had his new membership banned also.

Glad I haven't joined here yet in that era.

If you have any problems with such moderations, then make a post in the Members Only area or use PM's.

Wait, someone who is banned used to be able to use PMs here? Was he a Real Member?

Wow... So a fox which looks like a bat and a bat which looks like a fox are totally different species. Interesting.

Well, the Muslims themselves think that Islam is updated Christianity.
