my quirky aggrivation of the moment ... perhaps it is grammer related ... details IM ...

Posted by call me Ishmael (aka pacrat) Apr 4 '16, 12:12

being able to say "first of all ... second of all ..." and then having "third of all" sound odd. ...

yet, saying "firstly ... secondly ... thirdly ..." sounds odd as well ... "secondly" sounds good, but the rest doesn't for some reason ...

quirky, like i said ... but it just seems odd and frustrating .... damn you, English language, for being so damned odd ... I bet other languages don't have quite the same issues as we do ...

Leave out "of all." "First... Second, .... Third, ...." -- nm - mara Apr 4, 12:21
