Maybe we could pay you NOT to podcast.
Quoted from arcademrs:Maybe we could pay you NOT to podcast.
Wow he must live in your head, lol
Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:I clicked thinking O-din was back.
Same. Bummed he is not
Quoted from arcademrs:Maybe we could pay you NOT to podcast.
I'm the only one paying people NOT to podcast
Who’s back? Doesn’t really say in any of the posts. I was hoping for O-din , he is one of the people from pinside that I’d like to hang out with but haven’t gotten the chance yet.
Quoted from TheLaw:Exactly....it's "Whom's back" for fuck sakes.
Is it fuck sakes or fuck’s sake. I always say it the latter but really don’t know which is correct. I’ve heard it both ways
Quoted from TheLaw:Exactly....it's "Whom's back" for fuck sakes.
Negatory. Who is a subject, whom is an object. Who is back? is grammatically correct because who is the subject of the sentence. You would use whom for things like, "This is for whom?" or "To whom am I speaking?"
And it would be "for Fuck's sake." FYI It is Fuck whose sake we are bemoaning.

Wow. Both points are 100% grammatically correct here. Well done sir.
Quoted from fireball2:Who is a subject, whom is an object....
You fucking people....8 years it never changes.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Well done sir.
Thanks Mang! I've taught English for over 30 years and went to 12 years of Catholic school to boot. I could diagram a sentence even three sheets to the wind... like the nuns I learned from.
Quoted from TheLaw:You fucking people....8 years it never changes.
Oh stop. I can be as crabby as you, Cowboy, and I don't usually go there. But if'n people want to, I'ma go toe to toe with anyone in a grammar way. I can make 7th graders care about grammar!
Relax. You'll live longer.
Quoted from TheLaw:You fucking people....8 years it never changes.
I have to admit I’m a little confused, do you have some sort of running joke going with using “whom” incorrectly? I’ve noticed you doing it but never really cared enough to call you out on it. Just figured it was your thing, kind of like making bird noises is my thing.

I have always had confusion on when to use “farther” and “further”...could you please provide the correct gramner rules on their use?
Quoted from Who-Dey:Who's back? It's not o-din or Vid so it must be the K Man?
Could someone please explain why vid stopped posting here? Thanks

He got tired of being wrong about stern playfield cratering (which is much different than "normal" minor dimpling). Then when his "secret" harassment/shill accounts got shut down for being naughty and breaking pinside TOS, he got the hint.

Yep I agree. Wood is the same. The cc matters
Back to this important issue, it depends how many fucks the sakes of which are in question.
One fuck: for fuck's sake
Multiple fucks: for fucks' sakes
The shorthand FFS is especially useful, in that the reader can fill in their preferred version in their mind, correctly punctuated or no, as is their wont.
