@Ryan_Star7@LombardIsKing_ Up 5 after 5 innings? Game over. But you could also bring him up 4 if you think you could score 1 more the rest of the game. Or up 3 if you wanted to take a chance that you would score 2 more.
Plenty of opportunities to play him.
@thesandbagger69 Yeah actually a lot of people believe that he can look at someone and guess a number or word they're thinking of just by looking at the way they blink or twitch their nose
Angel Reese has become the WNBA’s biggest laughing stock.
It’s not because she runs her mouth nonstop.
It’s because she’s simply not that good at basketball most nights.
All the trash talk in the world can’t hide poor performance.
@LairdStuff@lilyofurvalley@StevenJTrevor@9mmballpoint But they're often related. And then if certain words start to go out of use, new readers are less likely to be introduced to those words or even have a chance to learn them using context clues.
@lilyofurvalley@LairdStuff@StevenJTrevor@9mmballpoint Combined, the two of you have about 80 thousand posts on this site. I can't even venture a guess as to how many unique words you have used in your posts. But not once have you used this particular word until today.
And yes, I agree this argument is a distraction
@lilyofurvalley@StevenJTrevor@9mmballpoint No I'm glad you had a large vocabulary and know this word. Good job for reading.
Still doesn't make it a common or essential word.
@babytroublebabe@9mmballpoint A lot of people are hung up on the word - and bragging about how they learned it shortly after they graduated from Dr Seuss books
@StevenJTrevor@9mmballpoint You seem really attached to this word for some reason. No clue why. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news that this is not on the essential word list for high schoolers.
@StevenJTrevor@9mmballpoint Use whatever you want. Sometimes "awkward" will do. Sometimes not. Just don't talk to teenagers and expect more than a few of them to understand that word.
@Senninsage Because we all realized long ago that counting championships to compare players in a team sport is retarded. It's a factor but so so much depends on your teammates.
@Daniel86Cycles@TerraDraca You don't have access to either
You know a threshold that must be achieved. That's not a probability.
You don't know the outcome. But you know that there is one.
@Daniel86Cycles@TerraDraca Are you under the impression that if everyone else votes 6 billion to 2 billion one way or the other, your additional vote can make a difference in the outcome? Whatever your logic for making a decision, you get 1 vote.
Don't call it "wasted" - but it's still inconsequential
@Daniel86Cycles@TerraDraca It's a perfectly fine way to look at it, since you just have 1 vote, don't know the others, and have no impact on the others.
@Daniel86Cycles@TerraDraca If the side you vote for wins by 1, you can consider that your vote was decisive in the outcome, because if you had flipped votes the other side would have won.
In all other cases your vote made no difference in the outcome.
