There you wanted to have fun experiencing another Doc75 super gift but then you got to hear political discussions.
First WoW now hear. Can we maybe please let politics be politics in games that are ment to be political like Bioshock or The Division or Vampire The Masquerade or Destroy all Humans? Up to this day I do not understand what is about Political correctness and I do not want to understand. I just want to enjoy games without needing to think about reality.

(sorry for posting this here...cannot PM you atm...also edited to be more civil/etc)

The thing is, it's very hard(conscience/etc) for me to take from/give to the giveaway after some of what you said. Also add to that your first post in this thread (after mine) was to mock/lie about me. You could've asked me to edit my post and to get off the subject, but you didn't As the head of this giveaway, i'd think you would set a good example.

To All: I admit I should've talked this out in PM with OP first**, and asked for an apology/etc there, and then if that didn't work I should've posted an even more vague post here and disengaged.

(** Fwiw I was not in my right mind earlier......was starting to get sick(not covid, thankfully) & was/am weak/tired, and on several medications, so not thinking clearly. Also sorry for all the off-topic I posted, and if I upset anyone here......and have a good one & stay safe/well.

=-=-=-=

Sorry for the prior posts, and going off-topic somewhat and etc.....I will do my best to stay off said topics from now on...Also best of health/etc to you all!

Take care finkleroy and I am glad to hear you got the booster.

*sigh* What a moment to mar this in such a way...

Anyway, more on topic, agreed with d6nxyzrwk (cat walked over keyboard? :))), considering the massive endeavor this will turn out to be, better stay on the safe side and give it a few days, so as to avoid any possible lingering effects getting in the way when you'll have so much work to do to manage it.

I'm not English native speaker but by reading this topic I now understand that "booster shot" means THAT. :o
In that case I agree that health > ga and please treat my previous question about the day as meaningless. :D

I find it ironic when people say that English is not their native language, then those same people proceed to type or speak flawless English...

Finkleroy, if you are feeling under the weather, you can start the key drops another time. Please take the time to recover properly.

I guess the differences are between speaking English, and understanding the intricacies of English (or any other language) are generally what's being referred to. :)

Oh!, and finkleroy, I wish you well and a speedy recovery, and hope any side effects are minimal. The giveaway can wait, your health is more important... :)

Me as example: I know the general rules of the grammar, but I do not know all meanings of words. I know "booster" and "shot" words (mainly from the games) but I didn't realize they can be also connected to C19. I bet native speakers could read / hear this combination of words many times (newspapers, TV) but for me it was the first time.

English isn't my native language but I'm more familiar with English than any other languages I've ever learnt.
Or have I gotten the meaning of "native language" all wrong?

I found out about that quite recently from memes, so you are not alone here, pal ;)

Mother tongue ?, as in the language that your immediate family speak and (usually) the first language you were exposed to...

Then I've gotten it right. English isn't my mother tongue.

good job getting the booster finkleroy, proud of you :). Hope you feel better soon.

Some classic 80's Ska to brighten the mood -
