Random Thoughts

[Max Rockatansky]

I had a rare Tuesday off today due to a weekend store inventory.  That being the case, I went and saw Evil Dead Burn at a matinee.  The biggest complaint I saw in movie critics reviews was that new entry in the Evil Dead franchise is that it is too brutal and mean spirited.  That kind of complaint makes me wonder if some of the people reviewing Burn have even seen another Evil Dead movie? 

Even Sam Raimi said he went too far in the first movie with that...one...scene...

Nothing really approached it IMO until the end scene of Rise with the wood chipper.  Even then, the brutality is still far worse with the tree scene from the first movie.

As long as it is connected to the city via public transportation

So I guess that means Auburn Hills is a suburb of both Flint and Detroit.

After looking it up, the Flint bus might not count.

They say the word ain't don't fit anywhere grammatically? How about the word won't?

"Don't" fits there grammatically if y'all'd've made "ain't" plural, like [aint]. Then it's an array, or a list, and y'all can iterate over it, even though its length is 1. But maybe y'all'd'nt've been as picky as I'd've.

It's D&D night so I'll just ask Riverside what they think they are.

@I-57/Route 66 Fan Riverside says they're not a suburb. The reasons they gave are that 1) the city was founded as a center for orange production (which had little to nothing to do with Los Angeles, so there are no historical ties between the two cities) and 2) anyone who lives in Riverside and commutes to either Los Angeles or San Diego is considered crazy.

*sigh*

I can't believe they don't teach this stuff in school.  It's just a minor change to the vowel sound, which is a totally normal thing to happen between word forms.

Aurora was founded as a center for hydropower on the Fox River, which has little to do with Chicago.  Anyone who lives in Aurora and commutes to Chicago is crazy.

Mind blown! There really is no good reason to not use the word ain't for first person. I'd go so far as to say it's sensible even for second person or third person plural (I see no reason why am not and are not can't both collapse to ain't, other than the fact that aren't already exists—but since when are synonyms disallowed?).

I dunno, I see a lot of Chicago in the history section of the Aurora, IL Wikipedia page. The only mentions of Los Angeles in the History of Riverside, CA page are that a future LA mayor owned land there and it used to be in Los Angeles County (Wikipedia doesn't mention this but it was only for two years) before Riverside County was established (and if everything once in Los Angeles County is a suburb then Needles and Nipton are both suburbs of LA). San Diego isn't mentioned at all.

Just wait till you read this:

ain't

by 1786, considered proper as a contraction of am not until early 19c., but from earliest records used as a generic contraction of are not, is not, has not, etc.

We really need to stop letting prescriptivists teach.

Fortunately, I'm not doesn't use any more syllables than I ain't, so I can't think of any reason to try and force the issue.

What about Second Person Plural Negative y'all's?

That would be y'allain't.
