It was - but if it pleased the judge, you earned the sentence.
After all - whats the motivation behind a trial if not to please the judge?

I know you're a Yorkshirean but if you really want to fit in you'll have to accept punishment like a real Scot. Get drunk, it'll go down easier, here, have a ZCD and just go to your avatar page and do the deed...

The avatar ent' that bad but you can photoshop the colo(u)rs to an acceptable blue. Green is not fer us measly creatures. Ravenne kind of forgot it... unless you're up for promotion...

I agree, though I think both "thee" and "thou" are singular, with "you" being plural. I think "thou" is for subjects and "thee" for objects, e.g. "thou hast given..." and "I gave to thee..."

Which version would that be? I know we've discussed this previously here at MR, but a) I'm too lazy to try to find the previous discussion and b) things may have changed since then.

Not my dialect, but I think the correct spelling for both usages you've indicated is "youse."

And what's wrong with that? They're perfectly good machines. The battery charge lasts about 20 hours on the dimmest backlight setting, which is also very readable in most indoor lighting conditions. The ergonomics is excellent. And they're very inexpensive. My younger daughter is still using mine. If the utility to convert PDFs to a format viewable on the 1150 had come out just a bit earlier, I might still be using it myself.

Don't get me wrong, I love my iLiad, but the eBookwise 1150 really is a good liseuse, and worth recommending.

I like thee and thou! They sound so much classier than you and youse, which I am sorry to admit, I have actually used on occasion!

i've frequently been tempted to shave both of my cats and just put little sweaters on them in winter. it would make cleaning my house SOOO much easier. not to mention the eternal problem of cat fur on my clothes, arg ! that drives me crazy !!! both my cats seem to have made their primary goal in life the production of as much fur as possible, which they will disseminate in the greatest possible quantity, everywhere. they're just like fur factories.

After I get my two Shih-tzus groomed in the winter, Ryleigh likes to put little sweaters on them. They do look adorable, but dog sweaters can cost around $20-25. If it were up to her, they would have a whole wardrobe! At least they don't shed. I have a picture of them on my personal page if you are interested. There names are Jade and Asia keeping with the origination of the breed.

oops ! my mistake. i should review that article i read on the subject...

Which version would that be? I know we've discussed this previously here at MR, but a) I'm too lazy to try to find the previous discussion and b) things may have changed since then.

dunno. see a) and b) and apply both of them to me. i just remember there were several versions, and one of them was "heavy duty for houses occupied by fur-factory freeloaders."

Not my dialect, but I think the correct spelling for both usages you've indicated is "youse."

noted. (i still prefer "y'all" myself).

crikey ! my cats will have to do with home-made sweaters, at those prices. and i don't care what their friends are wearing.

As well you should!! It is a masterpiece of reader technology and a true standard by which all other readers should base their technology. If it only had e-ink it would be close to perfect!!

Probably, I thought of that but I've always thought the more 'slang' version from this area used yous. For some strange reason I haven't had much need to write it down...

I never use it, any time I've tried it's backfired...

Hmm, could we perhaps bribe, err, entice you into adding the 700 if we offered you large amounts of chocolate?

eInk AND ePub... That is really the one major flaw of the ebw1150... Otherwise it is awesome...
