AvrilHarder -> lol this is great (5/20/2011 5:29:28 PM)

I've been on Collarme all of about a few hours now and I can already tell I've finally got it right (website wise of course). Hello to everyone and hope to be conversating with you in one way or another. :)

That is all; i'll keep it short and sweet just like meeee.

luv Avril

sunshinemiss -> RE: lol this is great (5/20/2011 5:32:55 PM)

Welcome. Just out of curiosity, why do you think you got it right? That's kind of a vague statement.

best,
sunshine

to be conversating


Actually the correct word is "conversing" but I'm being picky.

Welcome to CM.




sunshinemiss -> RE: lol this is great (5/20/2011 7:43:08 PM)

You're also incorrect.

I'm in a "geeky wordsmiths" kind of group, and actually "conversate" has been around for decades. Please note that it is in the dictionary....

Well, I guess since most of my education occurred before 1973 I continue to use what was once correct before the slang term conversate became popular.

Just from profile surfing and seeing like minded individuals as well as plenty of dominant types that suit what I'm looking for is all I meant :)

And... my coming has brought forth a vocabularly lesson! Cheers!

Avril

What a nice answer Avril. I hope you find what you are looking for.

Best,
sunshine

(oh, and to smart sub 10, I guess you don't use words like "google" - except of course for its mathematical use -and "download" is where you put your laundry and a "laptop" is the skirt that covers your thighs and a dot is something on a peice of paper and has no com after it either and the only cells are in your body and not a description of a phone... and we still have only policemen and firemen [:D] . Amazing how languages are alive and changing isn't it? It's why I totally love the discussion group that I'm in. We explore these things. If it interests you, feel free to drop me a line on the other side, and I'll gladly give you the info about how to pop on in!)




DeviantlyD -> RE: lol this is great (5/21/2011 5:07:05 AM)

sunshinemiss: But some words are just grating...like "orientate".




ChatteParfaitt -> RE: lol this is great (5/21/2011 5:34:32 AM)

Welcome Avril, may you find all that you seek.

*smiles sweetly*

Thank you so much for your offer to teach me about the computer and all it's wonders.  How did I manage to live my life so fully without the help of sunshinemiss I will never, ever understand. [:D]

Do you think so? I really love how people use words in new and creative ways. It's like painting a picture with a whole new color. I love that! Woo hoo...

and SS - I was not being snarky. I think that may have gotten lost in translation. Ah well.




dollmaster90 -> RE: lol this is great (5/21/2011 11:27:03 AM)

Welcome Avril,
This is a cool place with lots of interesting people and a wealth of knowledge. Have fun!

Welcome Avril...and just a FYI...5'6" is NOT short (but you do look and sound sweet from your post and reply).




BurntKitty -> RE: lol this is great (5/21/2011 11:51:38 AM)

Welcome to CM. 5'6 is tall compared to a midget like me. ~ahem~ (5'2ish...) Where's da cookies?




tiggerspoohbear -> RE: lol this is great (5/21/2011 7:56:08 PM)

Welcome to CM and the boards Avril.  May you find who you seek and have fun on this side.  There's lots of great people to meet.

Pssst....Sunshine, I like to use the word edumacate when it comes to certain, well, edumacating!  [:D]




OohAahMrs -> RE: lol this is great (5/22/2011 4:57:33 AM)
