Title: Preseason Panic
Post by: Wynnable on February 27, 2019, 02:42:27 pm
McHugh with a stiff back. Devo ineffective. James with quad(?).

Is it too soon to hit the 'must resign DK' button while still available?

This early, any little bit of tightness or soreness is going to get you taken out of a game, not worried about McHugh. James, it's bad timing but he wasn't a surefire starter this year.

Devo ineffective.

Let's not read into spring training numbers from guys who are already on the roster, who knows what he's working on.

I bet they have a number that they are willing to pay, but Keuchel is going to have to come to them.

I'll take that as my cue to mention that surprisingly enough I maintain a densely populated list of these sorts of things that drive me UP THE FUCKING WALL- common grammatical or spelling errors, the blithe use of words or phrases that have been bludgeoned into meaninglessness by misuse or overuse, in short, malapropisms of all sorts.

But if you think I'm about to share those here and encourage you goons to torment me with them for all eternity, why, you are sadly mistaken.

I will say tangentially that I do not give one fuck about the Oxford comma, so use it lustfully, spurn it cruelly, or do as I do and maintain a cheerful indifference.

A bald-faced lie -- or barefaced, as it's often called in England -- means one that is undisguised and clearly untrue. A bold-faced lie, on the other hand, is one that is impudent or disrespectful [source: Grammarphobia]. Many lies would fall under both categories.

The use of the word "impact" instead of "effect" drives the engineer in me crazy. An impact is the collision of two or more bodies in space, like a crash.

"The new paint had quite a crash on the house's appearance." is just as stupid as "the new paint had quite an impact on the house's appearance".

That's cool, but describing something as "impactful" still makes sense even with that definition, especially considering Newtonian ideas of bodies acted upon.

I found the new paint job impactful, as it quite changed the course of my thinking on the house in general, like.

I'm sure it really bugs you that Webster says:

im·pact

noun: impact; plural noun: impacts

/ˈimˌpakt/

1. the action of one object coming forcibly into contact with another.
"there was the sound of a third impact"

synonyms: collision, crash, smash, clash, bump, bang, knock, jolt, thump, whack, thwack, slam, smack; contact
"car parts were spread by the impact over a wide region"

2. the effect or influence of one person, thing, or action, on another.
"our regional measures have had a significant impact on unemployment"

synonyms: effect, influence, impression, footprint; More

My dad and I went out to dinner the other night.  While we were waiting for our waiter to give us the time of day, I saw him sit at a booth while those customers were trying to decide what to order.  The only thing I could think about was not that it had been ten minutes and we'd only gotten menus, but rather that if Hudson were there they'd have to close the restaurant to scrape his brain matter off all the surfaces.

That's true. Of course that doesn't make it right:

Definition of literally
1 : in a literal sense or manner: such as
a : in a way that uses the ordinary or primary meaning of a term or expression
He took the remark literally.
a word that can be used both literally and figuratively
b —used to emphasize the truth and accuracy of a statement or description
The party was attended by literally hundreds of people.
c : with exact equivalence : with the meaning of each individual word given exactly
The term "Mardi Gras" literally means "Fat Tuesday" in French.
d : in a completely accurate way
a story that is basically true even if not literally true
2 : in effect : VIRTUALLY —used in an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is not literally true or possible
will literally turn the world upside down to combat cruelty or injustice
