Feeling of accomplishment: all forums read

[+ poolboy48220]

I usually work my way up the forums from the bottom, reading the new posts on threads I'm interested & marking the individual forum "read" when I'm done, then move on to the next Forum. Some days, I feel like Lucy wrapping chocolates; by the time I've worked my way up to the top, half the forums I've marked are already showing new posts. Thank you all for keeping me well-read :-D

In the time I took me to write that, "The Lounge","The Deli", and "The Gallery" already have new posts.

[liubit]

Funny, I also read them from the bottom, finishing with the Lounge, and I thought I was the only one doing this.

I check my alerts first, then check for new posts to topics I've started, then peruse the forums in whatever order I'm in the mood for that day (some days I just can't deal with any more politics).

 

P.S. I was taught the plural for words ending in 'ium' is 'ia', but have never heard anyone say stadia, and I was taught the plural for words ending in 'um' was 'a'. However...

 

The current entry from the Oxford Dictionary says: The plural of forum is usually spelled forums; the plural fora (as in the original Latin) is chiefly used when talking about a public square in an ancient Roman city.

 

I always wondered why this isn't the M4M Message Fora.

:-) Because people would think it's about plants?

 

I love archaic words. A friend told me our help desk had left her a message including the phrase "do the needful". I thought that was lovely.

My former roommate & I got into the habit of saying 'launder' instead of 'do the laundry'.

 

As in... I don't WANNA launder! (said in the whiniest possible voice)
