YOU got the warning? Someone else sent the creepy request and YOU got the warning, because you posted it? What happened to the friend wanna-be?

Commas matter.

We'll have to agree to disagree on the Canadian geese too, because I don't believe Canadian is equivalent to southerner. Southerner isn't an adjective, for one thing; it's a noun. Canadian can be both a noun and an adjective, and just as I describe my friend as a Canadian and not a Canadian human, the geese would simply be…

And "What are you doing?' fits in 120 characters, but "Text Speak" came about because we can't fit many coherent ideas into 120 characters. On older phones, typing characters took three or four taps per letter, so keeping the letter count down also helped speed and prevented thumb problems. Texting didn't "create"…

Canada grants citizenship to geese? I have a friend who lives in London. His citizenship is from Canada, so he's Canadian. Where a goose is "from" is irrelevant since geese migrate. If Canada grants them citizenship, they are "Canadian geese." Do you see the difference? There are no Canadian geese. I read #6 differently.…

Actually, the article's #7 is wrong. It is not incorrect, and never really has been incorrect, to use "they," them," their," etc. as a singular indefinite pronoun. It bothers me, but it's not wrong. And I did know #4. So there! And irregardless is a silly word, but also not technically incorrect, any more than inflammable…

And in this case, it's therein, not there in. Sorry, but it is what the thread is about.

Texting and social media do not equal "computers and technology." Many, if not most, hackers don't use social media, and real hackers don't use l337 sp33k. It's about accuracy as well, and computers are not to blame for the decline in spelling and grammar skills. If, as you seem to argue, texting and social media are, that…

I became a Wikipedia editor solely to do copyediting. I'm in the Guild of Copyeditors there. I've never written a Wikipedia article; I only copyedit. (Note the proper use of the semicolon! My mom would be so proud!)

I don't think we can blame technology. I may be biased because I'm the biggest computer geek this side of the Mississippi, but I don't believe it's because of computer use. Even when I was in school (back in the early days of man--LOL) people would always ask professors in science classes "do spelling and grammar count?…

I don't mind typos either. But nothing gets me more than an obviously fake "It was a typo!" reply to pointing out multiple spelling and grammatical errors. My name is Pjay, and I'm a judgmental grammar nerd. :tongue:

My mom made me a grammar nerd. She corrected EVERYONE'S grammar! In public. Loudly. If you didn't want her to embarrass you, you had better get ir right!

Me too.

In this case, time isn't constant. If speed is increased, you get home faster, so you do for it less time. The calories burned should be roughly equal. Work equals force times distance.

The biking and walking are not included already in your sedentary setting, if that's what you're asking. If you did the same every day, then you'd want to up your activity level, but since you don't, staying with sedentary and adding it in makes more sense, unless the biking calories exactly match the walking calories.

it's not, really, more complicated than that. Your goals and your calories burned change along the way and you adjust with them. Why do people think math is complicated? It's not. REALLY it's not. The calculations there are just AMORTIZATIONS, like interest on savings and loans!

Nuts and nut butters? You may need to reassess a low carb diet if you don't like high protein/low carb foods. There are other healthy diets.

LOL, I'm with ya! But I'm gay and faithful, but I still like to feel sexy. It's got nothing to do with cheating.

Yes. And ugly has nothing to do with how you look.

You are mistaken. Many people find size 16/18 women sexy. It is perfectly possible to be a 16/18 and be healthy as well. Some people don't find women who obviously lift heavy to be sexy. It's harsh, but true. Should women who prefer to lift be discriminated against because some people don't find them sexy?

No, I wouldn't. Very few people are. If your urine is clear to straw yellow, you are unlikely to be dehydrated. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/water/NU00283

That is 2.2 liters FROM ALL SOURCES, you know. Most food is mostly water, and that counts toward the 2.2 liters.

I cite sources that are considered medical experts. Why not answer the question? What are this guy's credentials that make his information more credible than the Mayo Clinic's?

Actually, the average woman needs 2.2 liters (about 9 8 ounce cups--men need more like 13 cups) of water from all sources to be healthy. That includes water in food and all beverages. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/water/NU00283

The Mayo Clinic says differently. What makes this guy with a blog a more credible expert than the Mayo Clinic on medical issues?

Too much water can be equally harmful. Everything in moderation! And I think you mean bladder infections. Kidney infections aren't common, period.

I'm a bladder cancer patient, and I can assure you, what goes in must come out. If you drink more you will pee more. Since my surgery left me incontinent, I have an acute awareness that if I consume more fluids, I use more adult incontinence products. (Yes, I wear diapers. Feel free to laugh.)

The 8X8 rule applies to all hydration, not just water you drink. The biggest part of food is water, and the water in food is part of that 8 glasses. I camp and carry dehydrated foods, that are rehydrated with boiling water. When I make a 1.25 cup bowl of beef stew, I have to add a full cup of water. IOW, beef stew is 80%…

The only benefits are those you see. There are no objective benefits--they are all subjective. If you are adequately hydrated, and almost everyone is, there is no benefit to additional water.

This is completely and totally false. You do not, under any circumstances, pee or sweat out fat. Ever.
