Am I the only person who feels Ingenious should be an evil genius? It basically means the same thing as genius, which is stupid. Think about it this way. Someone who is famous, is someone who is well known. Someone who is IN-famous is someone who is well known for doing something bad, so in that same sense Ingenious should mean a bright person who is bad. Also, they should remove the O from the spelling of ingenious.
really? I always thought IN-famous was someone who was more than famous, you know, like the Infamous El Guapo, who is probably the best actor to ever come out of Mexico
alright, zetoastking. let's think about this one for a moment.
i made fun of
nexttwelveexits inability to correctly use apostrophes by saying "your retarded."
i'm pretty sure that everyone else got the joke.
it wasn't a terribly nice joke, that's true. and i suppose that on some level i feel that perhaps i should apologize. but, i figure that we're all friends here and we're here to laugh.
keep in mind that some people may be here to have fun. not everyone on the internet is a dick.
Yeah, it's the same kind of queer deal with construction. Surely it should mean the dismantling of a structure? But there's de-struction for that, which technically means the same thing! Then theres in-telligence, and no telligence. The madness continues!
Unfortunately your point about 'construction' isn't exactly true, as the main purpose of the 'con-' prefix is to strengthen a verb. For example 'condescend' has come about as a strengthened form of 'descend' (and taken on a different meaning) and 'to confirm' is a strengthened for of 'to firm'.
This comes from Latin, where the prefix was used for the same purpose. For example 'iecit' = he threw, whilst 'coniecit' = he hurled.
I hear triceratopses get most irritable when they have to march in the rain. Especially when there are brightly coloured floats an giant balloons involved.
I never knew that the bear market was part of the industrial revolution. Well, I supposed I also didn't know that World War 1 started because of a sandwich.
Huh.
Just that much of the industrial revolution was financed by widespread use of joint-stock companies. Although, as far as we know there were no "dinosaur markets".
I'm disillusioned about Daisy, how can she be so ignorant... or else she more of a cynic than I thought, being pure evil to Cooper, taking his joy away... or she's saving him from becoming an aristocratic twit... or have your humour been abducted by space-velocioraptors.... or... or......... DAISY, WHO ARE YOU???
btw.: There are lots of things who has the opportunity of dinosaurs in them, and just because they weren't the dinosaur winners of the Industrial revolution, it doesn't mean there were no dinosaurs in it, quite the opposite in fact. Take 'Mustard Bread Steel' which was owned by the not-heard-of T-Rex T. Mowlfly.
Good thing. If she'd waited much longer, Coop would've slipped down that slop from 19th century businessman to 19th century train tycoon. It's only one more step to inventor.

Well, it was a badly failed attempt at humor in rules of apostrophes, and then by trying to make this an encouraging happy-fun town.
All of which I regret deeply.

Genius is the noun and ingenious is the adjective, dude. The change of spelling is a little strange though.
