I don't think the comparison between those two phrases is a correct analogy. As I said before 'intents and purposes' and 'intensive purposes' are individual phrases with individual meanings. 'Could of' can't be used correctly because the 'Be' verb isn't being used at all and, again, there is a breakdown of communication as a result.

On a side note, you seem angry in this post. Chilllll we're just talking.

It's "right" if you've misheard the correct phrase at some point in your life and are a moron who doesn't parse what he's listening to.

Yes now kids will grow up hearing it wrong, and so from their POV it will be right. That doesn't change the fact that saying "intensive purposes" is EXACTLY the same thing as saying "could of." It makes one seem like a fucking thoughtless moron who is not a good listener and doesn't read.

So by all means, be my guest, and use your fucked up phrasing for "all intensive purposes".

JiggaJonson says...

It's "right" if the words represent the idea you actually mean to communicate to both parties. It may not be the original phrase but that doesn't really matter in terms of the evolution of a language.

Jigga, that comment really irks me. "Intensive purposes" is just not right. Feel free to use it though, if you want to sound like an illiterate moron.

Lately I'm utterly horrified by the large percentage of people on Facebook who seem to think you pluralize words with a fucking apostrophe. It seriously has turned me off like five girls I've had a long-standing hard-on for.

What I actually said on the post was "Isn't the 'sucking dicks' comment playing off of a negative connotation of homosexuals?" and I said it to illustrate why someone would be offended. I just wanted to have a talk about possibly restructuring the rules, that and I felt like i was sticking up for a fellow sifter. QM takes a lot of abuse around here and I get tired of it sometimes. He's a conservative voice that the sift is rather lacking in.

That being said, I'm sorry for the hobble, it wasn't my intention. I felt like what happened to Westy was unfair and, again, the ultimate goal was a coversation about restructuring the rules a bit. You're absolutley right, there is nothing int he FAQ that qualifies you for a hobble.

Feel free to beat me with a hose when this is all over. -jj

You're right. I jumped the gun on that one. I'll post in the thread about that, too.

On second thought, after actually looking at the FAQ, I think this is bullshit.

Q 30 (Hobbling)
"unstable members have a meltdown and use their star powers to inflict damage to the site as well as the whole community. In order to cope with this unfortunate possibility, there exists the ability to hobble (or handcuff) an abusive member before they can continue doing damage to the Sift.

Diamond members and above have the ability to instantly hobble any starred (or better) member who is blatantly misusing their abilities."

Q 32 (Comments)
* What can't I say in a comment?

We love a good fiery comment thread, but sometimes they go overboard. Please avoid personal attacks. It's okay to criticize ideas but refrain personal insults. Please avoid blatantly racist speech, threats, or other verbal abuse. This goes for comments in public arenas as well as private member profile comments. If a comment is bad enough it will probably be deleted due to negative feedback. "

It looks to me like I was not abusing my star priveleges to inflict damange on the site or community. I merely posted an inappropriate comment, which should have been deleted if you felt it was so inappropriate.

EXCESSIVE FORCE!

EXCESSIVE FORCE!

I really like you man, but that comment was out of line. Sure QM can be the biggest of douche bags, but an open insult like that was too much. Don't take the hobbling too hard, man. It's nothing personal, dude. Things just need to be done for fairness sake, you know?
