Rakuall Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) I see the term 'intensive purposes' quite a bit on these fora, and would love people to start using the the term they are mistaking it for, 'intents and purposes,' instead. If y'all are smart enough to keep the two straight. I'm sure you are. Thanks, Rak. Edited July 10, 2014 by Rakuall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10twenty4 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) I am sorry to be the baron of bad news, but you seem buttered, so allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies, and are more than just ice king on the cake. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the fax, instead of making a half-harded effort. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it's a peach of cake.

Those are pretty bad, but living in Alabama exposes you to all kinds of cringe-worthy constructions like "height-th" and "stren-th." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
