The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
also, if I see another powerpoint presentation that includes the words "synergy" or "paradigm shift" I will probably go apeshit
edit: the only libary in existance is on one of the moons of Jupiter, have fun
This. Fuck. Especially when anyone says "leverage the synergies between x and y" It makes me want to say "leverage the synergies between my dick and your mouth."
I thought corporate meetings with stuff like that were just myths

Corpspeak is painful but yes we are afraid to show that it is real
I used to be a civil servant and you can go really far in life if you can stretch out a single point into three paragraphs and invent terms like "efficiency-focused utilitisation of core developments"

The fact that the faculty at my father's university can use antidistestablishmentarianism in a sentence other than one discussing needlessly long words scares the shit out of me
...But they got it wrong because that's all about the church, not education
Warsh, warshington. THERE IS NO GODDAMN R. STOP IT.
Fake swearing. I hang out with a bunch of mormons (being one myself) and they say things like fudge and frick. Also, in lue of flipping me off, they will put there three middle fingers and tell me to "read between the lines." HOW IS THAT ANY FUCKING DIFFERENT FROM JUST FLIPPING ME OFF?! IT'S A HAND SIGNAL THAT MEANS "FUCK YOU." IT DOESN'T MAKE BABY JESUS CRY ANY LESS WITH THREE FINGERS! JUST FUCKING SWEAR OR DON'T!

But there is no R in the word. I can understand regional pronunciations, those are fine. But they are adding a letter.

'wat'
I understand the idea of internet slang and "textspeak", but really? You're dropping the H to form a word that no longer phonetically sounds the way you are intending it to. I have less of a problem with 'wut' than 'wat'. Just type the 'h', jerkasses.

It's a Washingtonian accent that says "warshington"

but what if we're being ironic and witty
not everyone can be Jem and the Holograms
This. Fuck. Especially when anyone says "leverage the synergies between x and y" It makes me want to say "leverage the synergies between my dick and your mouth."
not everyone can be fabulous
(oh god what am I doing?)
You know, the people who brought us the likes of Micro$oft or calling Tony Blair "Bliar"
It's the written equivalent of those t-shirts where the stars on the American flag are swastikas or whatever

You need to think outside the box more
I need a series of motivational posters, stat!

You're implying the word just fucking say it, you're not being a good person by dancing around the 'bad' words.

In WWII, people grew liberty gardens, and called saurkraut liberty cabbage

This quote tree is outrageous

Aloo-min-um is apparently the Stateside pronounciation
Al-you-min-ee-um is the Britland variety
Go pawk the caw
They say it that way because of the decades that they've spent here.
