My team's coach has five tickets for kickoff.

Re: The "You are wrong" Game
 
Your team's coach had 5 tickets. For all you know he might have had six but ate the other one.

I should have used lost instead of ate in the sentence above.

ewankoff 07-11-2006 14:41

Re: The "You are wrong" Game
 
no ate sounds cooler and using lost is not absolutly neccesary

The average surface of the earth is the average thickness of the surface (you weren't specific on what average) and you cannot be below the surface without boiling in lava

while any statement may be true in one context, nothing can be universally true for all situations. while one person says something that means one thing, it may mean an entirely different thing in another language, cultural background, etc. most posts proving the previous one "wrong" are simply changing the context of the statement.

My hair is wet at the time I am typing this post.

Graham Donaldson 27-11-2006 12:29

The "hair" itself is not "wet". The hair follicles, in strands known as "hairs", traps molecules of water, therefore making the "hair" "wet".

StephLee 30-11-2006 07:27

Re: The "You are wrong" Game
 
"Christmas" as it is used in our culture today can mean so many different things (a spirit, a season, a Christian holiday, or an entirely secular holiday) that one must take into account the many and varied meanings. For example, one would be hard pressed to find someone who has never, in their entire life, demonstrated what is known as "the Christmas spirit."




Losing one's voice basically kills one's usual level of singing ability.

Eric W. Jones 30-11-2006 18:35

Re: The "You are wrong" Game
 
if something has been killed, then it generally can't come back. If one "loses" their voice, it is due to sickness, and once it passes, their voice returns. therefore their singing is not "killed" per se.

It is always snowing somewhere, so your wish is irrelevent. Also, you may not always be wishing that it will snow, so your current wish will change.

Gold cannot be in a sentance on the internet in it's elemental form, thus of course it's not in your sentance.
