do you guys understand why it doesn't work now?
and just for future reference tadao, you shouldn't consider merriam-webster as the authority on proper usage, seeing as how they recognize"w00t!" and "fanboy" to be actual words aswell. the oxford english would be a far better resource. and just for amusement purposes, i did check it there and it doesn't exist.  |
It was being used in the form of, "this is [something] which is droll"
Just like I can say,
when you call something witty, what you're saying is, "this is [something] which is [something] that is irony".
But I wouldn't cause I'm not a fucking dumb piece of shit wannabe know t all.
And for future reference, you shouldn't consider your limited knowledge as the authority on proper usage because you don't know shit for shit.
