I am reminded of Sam Watkins, 1st Tennessee Infantry Regiment, who was told that there was no such word as "cooter" in Webster's Dictionary.

To which, Watkins replied: "I have as much right to make a dictionary as Mr. Webster."

Is Greyjoy related to him?

American English arose when the British captured New Amsterdam (now known as New York City) and the English speaking colonists in the New World were emancipated from the Dutch spellings.

Anyways, I've been real busy the past few days and I promise to get back to work on Monday. In the meantime you fellows seem to have been carrying on quite well without me.

Sarcasm is a poor substitute for wit, which is a poor substitute for wry sardonic humour. Now before anyone chides me on my spelling, I'm a gorn and we spell things any flipping way we whish.

As for sarcasm, it was good enough for Doug so it's good enough for me.

You should have it easy to order at a restaurant: just growl. "Quick, throw him some meat!"

Hope it passes quickly.

Well there is that of course. Why would you take a universally known "I couldn't care less" and change it to "I could care less......" but forget to mention the last part of this longer, wordier sentence - with the result that you don't say what you want, and indeed what you would have said if you hadn't stopped using the time honoured approach

As for the idea that anybody who uses that phrase adds the last bit? Well I've not witnessed or heard it yet. Pointless and irritating.

Yes, under normal circumstances, I perform at the Met where I sing favorites from Cosi fan tutte and Cozy tutti fruiti. The florists are complaining.

The Gorn (plural) have all manner of poor substitutes for wit.

Uh-oh , lack of access to restaurant food could have dangerous consequences for the gorn ....
