a.k.a. "Minor things that bother you" :hmmm:
We need a term for the adult version of whining. It might just be "rant".
Also, "ranting and raving" - does this have a positive or negative connotation?
Historically, I've thought of it as having a positive connotation, sort of like a synonym for
compliment excessively, as in, "they ranted and raved about the delicious chicken noodle soup".
But
rant clearly has a negative connotation, so now I'm not sure.

Quote from: Scott5114
The fifth Grand Unified Alan of Alanland was Alan Lower Wacker (J-GC). Mr. Lower Wacker, often known to his supporters as The Alan of Quindaro, inherited a country in shambles from the Caterpillar War, and was tasked with turning it around. And that he did, with such revolutionary reforms as requiring the I-69 Form of Entry (discussed above), establishing the Nilla wafer as the country's official standard shape and the kilometer as its measure of weight.
If you disguise the legislation as an official shape, I guess it's okay.

How?
Native American tribes are legally considered sovereign nations whose boundaries happen to lie inside of the United States. (In practice they're often not treated as such because the United States does not actually honor treaties it signs.) So the most populated country in Oklahoma without an Interstate would probably be the Choctaw Nation, population 233,126, of which 41,616 are actually Choctaw.

AARoads Forum > National Boards > General Highway Talk > High Altitude Diving? – JayhawkCO hold's the #1 spot, from a hotel pool in Bhutan
That sounds dangerous. And not sure how many hotel pools exist in Bhutan. :)
I jumped from my roof to the pool once, which was about 9-10 feet. But I've also dived from a legitimate 3-meter diving platform, so it's a wash.
I was much more scared of a 12-foot-deep pool, to be honest.
Yeah, I figured "High Altitude Diving" would make people think about distance from platform to water. I was intending it to mean elevation above sea level.

I remember seeing someone dive from a 200 foot high board into a glass of water. I think that might have been a cartoon.

Technically you're changing 0 letters, you're just rearranging them. After all, if you added up the Unicode values, both of them would have the same result, because addition is commutative. However, you are making exactly one change ("swap e and a").

I think so, but I don't know the details about their operation. We started the video feed when churches were shut down also, and they've definitely gotten better. This coming Sunday, however, I don't even think they're going to attempt the video feed, because we're holding the service outdoors. It'll be enough of a challenge using rented sound equipment...

$2.50, I believe? It was a nickel roll and a penny roll, two different occurrences, both given to businesses that needed the coins because they were running low.
I was considering whether I should pay for my girl scout cookies with a couple rolls of quarters that I won't need anymore once I move into my new apartment with in-unit laundry. Might be worth it just to claim the score on this, even though I already grabbed an extra $20 from the bank.
That said, my first thought on that thread title was actually dinner rolls...
I had a shortage assessed against me at work that I had to pay back, and I disagreed with it (my paperwork balanced when I had it and then accounting said I was $100 short, and then the accountant that signed off on it got fired for embezzlement a few weeks later), so I paid part of it with something like four rolls of quarters and a roll each of dimes, nickels and pennies. The vault didn't particularly care, because they just put it all in the cashout kiosks. But the week after that one of my friends was inspired to do the same thing and pay with $25 worth of pennies, and then we weren't allowed to make shortage payments in coins after that.
Anyway, that means I've paid $47.50 in rolls.

This reminds me of one time when, long story short, I had to return a pallet of 2x4's to Lowe's. A few employees helped us unload them behind the store, we counted them, then went up front to get the credit put back on our card. The guy behind the counter told me they were just double checking the count. No sooner had someone from the back brought up the paper which I knew had the correct count on it, I noticed in my peripheral vision the guy at the counter doing something with it. Sure enough, when I saw the paper again, I could see that he had noticeably written over top the count with a lower number, leaving the first digit but adjusting the others (I think it was something like 290 down to 268).
He then told me, straight faced, "Sorry, we have to go with the count they give us from the back". Needless to say, I was first stunned, then furious that he'd just lied to my face. But at that point, I wasn't in a position to challenge him or argue about it, so I just accepted the lower credit and got out of there, more relieved to be done with the ordeal than anything. I have very little hope that he got caught or fired for it, but it still gives me pause every time I go into that particular Lowe's.

Protocol at the casino was to pop the roll open
and actually count before paying the customer out. Which was really funny the few times someone would hand you a gaffed roll of quarters and you'd get to say "$9.25, here you go!" and they'd turn several different colors but never actually say anything because they knew you caught them.
Generally casino and bank employees are much faster at counting change from experience than retail and food service employees, though. If a, say, Burger King cashier were to try that they'd probably make a lot of people angry because of how much it held up the line.

For most of the time I was there, there was only one of them in the whole casino, so if you were at one of the three counters that didn't have one, you would either have to count it by hand or send the person to the main cage. Later, they added them in the three outlying cages, but they weren't terribly fast or accurate, so if it was just one roll it was usually easier to just count the coins by hand. (If you count the coins two at a time like I did, it doesn't take that long to count to 50, and I knew some cashiers that could count by threes or fives, even.)
That said, I also got written up once for using the coin counting machine too many times in one shift. I wasn't told how many times was "too many". Figure that one out...

This makes me think of a road meet having a stop at a local playground so the attendees can stretch their legs and get on the merry-go-round for a while.
(When I was a kid, the merry-go-round at the playground had an octagonal piece of metal in the center of it. For some reason, five-year-old me was convinced it was a face-down stop sign bolted there for some reason. I guess I didn't see many other kinds of octagonal things at that point in my life.)

I wonder if it covered up an octagon-shaped gap in the middle. When I was a kid, the merry-go-round in the grade school playground didn't have a floor in the middle (I can't remember if it was hexagonal or octagonal). So one of us would climb down into the middle and push from right near the pivot, rather than pushing from the outside. This allowed the merry-go-round to be spun so fast that the rest of us (those like me who were brave enough, anyway) could hold onto one of the outside bars with our hands while centrifugal force flung the rest of our bodies up in the air. If anyone else got too close, they were getting a fast-moving pair of shoes to the gut. And if we lost our grip, we'd go skidding on our bellies across the playground–which was asphalt.

Yeah, they haven't been made in decades (since about the 1960s or 1970s) and many of what were installed have long since been replaced. They were used across most of the contiguous US, however, with really only the Pacific Northwest and northern plains being the only areas without many/any. You can still find a good few if you know where to look, however.
They're also extremely heavy for a crossing bell, the one I own easily weighs 76.5 pounds.
A good few friends of mine and I have also gone through and mapped-out as many known locations across the US and Canada as we could.

What does that mean?
Well, you see, it's a long story. It starts way back when I was just a little bitty boy, living in a box under the stairs, in the corner of the basement of the house, half a block down the street from Jerry's Bait Shop. You know the place. Well anyway, back then, life was going swell, and everything was just peachy. Except, of course, for the undeniable fact that every single morning, my mother would make me a big bowl of sauerkraut for breakfast. Every single morning. It was driving me crazy.
So I said to my mom, "Hey, Mom, what's up with all the sauerkraut?" And my dear, sweet mother...she just looked at me like a cow looks at an oncoming train. And she leaned right down next to me and said, "It's good for you." Then, she tied me to the wall and stuck a funnel in my mouth, and force fed me nothing but sauerkraut until I was twenty-six-and-a-half years old.
That's when I swore that someday, I would get out of that basement. And that I would travel to a magical, far away place, where the sun is always shining, and the air smells like warm root beer, and the towels are oh-so-fluffy. A place where the Shriners and the lepers play their ukuleles all day long, and anyone on the street will gladly shave your back for a nickel.
Well, let me tell you, it wasn't long at all before my dream came true. Because the very next day, a local radio station had this contest to see who could correctly guess the number of molecules in Leonard Nimoy's butt. I was off by three, but I still won the grand prize...a first-class, one-way ticket to Albuquerque.

But "a MRI" is wrong. It's "an MRI" because the letter "M," when pronounced as a letter, starts with a short vowel sound ("em"), such that it takes the form "an." It doesn't matter whether it "looks better" to you—it's wrong, and it sounds awful when read out loud. (The same principle applies to some other consonants: F, H, L, N, R, S, and X.)

But it's not the letter, it's the syllable. For example:
"It took me an hour to understand one of Poiponen's posts". Even though "hour" starts with "h", "an hour" is correct here.
Also can apply to vowels like U - you can have "an understanding" and you can have "a union".

P13 is correct here. Some people pronounce the letter "aitch" and others pronounce it "haitch".
The rest of your examples are valid.
Not that anything else P13 said about MRI has any standing.

1995hoo's point was that the "M" in "MRI" is pronounced with its letter name, em, and that the vowel sound at the beginning of that letter name prompts the indefinite article to be "an". He pointed out that that's also true for the letter "H", whose letter name, aitch, begins with a vowel sound.
Poopingon13's flimsy response is that some people say haitch instead of aitch, which is to say that its letter name would have a consonant sound at the beginning and therefore prompt the indefinite article to be "a". Thus, for "an HD TV": "an aitch dee tee vee" or "a haitch dee tee vee".

"I-10 Calcasieu River Bridge....DAD??"
^^only 9 months to do those? Very fast.
- to continue my previous thread on the trans-global highway, thoughts on mileage?
The only person I've ever heard pronounce "H" as "haitch" is Peter Noone, the lead singer of Herman's Hermits, in the song "I'm Henry VIII, I Am," when he spells out "Henry" late in the song—at the very end, he sings it like "haitch, e, n, ah, y—'Enery ('Enery!), 'Enery ('Enery!)—'Enery the eighth I am, I am, 'Enery the eighth I am." (You can thank me later for getting that song stuck in your heads all day.)
I suppose there is one other situation in which one might use "a" with "H," and that is if you're using the NATO alphabet, in which "H" is "hotel," to name the letters. Even then, I suppose someone might pronounce "hotel" as "'otel," but that defeats the point of the NATO alphabet and would be non-standard for military and aviation purposes.

The word user starts with a consonant sound, the consonant sound of the letter y. That's why it's "A user", not an.
Conversely, although hour starts with the letter h, it is a silent h. The word starts with a vowel sound, and thus, "AN hour", not a.

When I started learning English at school, I didn't originally realize that it is the sound, not letter, which determined when comes "a" and when "an". In my original methodology, based how Finnish language does that thing, letters A, E, I, O, U and Y were always vowels and rest consonants. This would make "an year", "a hour", "an unicorn", "a MP3" etc. I think that Y is a vowel in English.
Finnish is a fairly unique language; the Uralic language family it belongs to is pretty small, so its rules don't translate well to other languages. English is a Germanic language, so it works a lot more like Swedish than it does Finnish (though English also incorporates way more stuff from French, Spanish, and Latin than most Germanic languages do).

When I started 3rd grade in fall 2014. But I still don't like when I see "a user", "an MP3" because when I read words in my mind, I read them as they would be pronounced in Finnish, like the word "catch" as KATKH", with "t", "k" and "h" sounds at the end. And words like "year" as "ÜEAR" where "Ü" is the sound of letter Y in Finnish, letter Y in Swedish, letter Ü is German and letter U in French.

Maybe when someone learns another language, one should also learn how that language is pronounced. As if, maybe, someone wants to be able to converse in it?
The reason why an exists as a word is because the a vowel sound tends to get lost if placed right before another vowel sound. so "a hour" wouldn't work because it'd turn into "aour". If English were only a written language, there would be no need for the word an at all.

In fact, I would say that it's a good idea to do that
first, so that you don't learn words wrong and fossilize an incorrect pronunciation in your mind.

At this time, he is currently waiting on hold in an attempt to reverse the charges, citing the receipt didn't have enough digits to approve the transaction, and the manager on duty was busy cleaning out the ice cream freezer cases.
