WHY DO SO MANY DRIVERS HATE APU'S and Inverters on trucks

buncha hi-falutin, gut-bustin' twenty five dollar words gettin' bandied around here ..... I almost thought they was makin' sense there..... fer a minute. 'Fore my bottle of 5 hour bluster kicked in, of course. Tint ! ...

 

Lol, the sky has no color....

thanks, was wondering

 

Oh. Did you not receive the memo?

I was contracted by the association of long and complex words to test for forum users afflicted by hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia.

You may be a candidate...

 

Should be "ota" not "oto"!
Guess I have to go get some RED PENCILS sharpened and ready for action.......again!

 

Hrm... Nope. I believe Im going to challenge you on that.

I have checked, re-checked and so forth.

You, are incorrect.

 

spell hippopotamus........check again!

 

ryenarahross......

ryenarceross....

oh crap, big horn on nose animal....

 

They are NOT useless! They have helped numerous members to relieve some of their stress. Nothing USELESS about that!

YOU may not be WRONG, but you sure as heck are MISTAKEN!

 

Yes, however I am not spelling hippopotamus. That would be referring to an animal.

Given that I am referring to a fear of something, otherwise known as a phobia, the spelling is correct.

In fact, the term "hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" is a mixture of words that refers to the fear of long words.

Hippopotamus is truncated to begin the word, however the Latin form of monstrous (Monstrom) takes over and is also truncated. Lastly, sesquipedalian is used to top off the word. It is also Latin, and translates literally to, "a foot and a half long."

The cherry on top is the ending. All good and real fears must have the word phobia glued firmly to the end.

Since it is a combination of 3 words and all 3 are truncated, your red pencil has been nullified.

Tomorrow, we will learn the word, "Etymology."

Vilhiem's class of Latin, medical terminology and English has concluded. Class dismissed!

 

RED PENCIL...RED PENCIL.....

And....before I run, dodging hither and nether.....the question:

Patty....which woman is never wrong? Myself....I find that the woman sitting across from me is often wrong, but she gets distracted easily!
