bigger draft bust. greg oden or jamarcus russell? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 18, 12:54 4
- JaMarcus might be one of the biggest busts in any sport. - groiny Nov 18, 12:56
- Jamarcus by a mile. Oden's just had bad luck so far. - Strongbad Nov 18, 12:55 1
  - Agreed -- nm - amoxy Nov 18, 12:57
- Oden still might be able to play but given Durant's accomplishments I would vote Oden -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 12:55

- it's not grown-up stress until shit goes so utterly to plaid that you don't even feel like posting about it here. -- nm - TFox Nov 18, 12:50 4

so I bought a fridge for my office at work. should I take it with me? it'd be kind of inconvenient, but it's money I spent. you know? - chromanda Nov 18, 12:41 8

- Human Target was all sorts of awesome. Timothy Omundson makes everything better. -- nm - TWuG Nov 18, 12:46 4
  - wait, he's in that? -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 12:50 3
    - Season 1 finale, Season 2 opener. I suppose there's potential for him to return, but doubt he will. -- nm - TWuG Nov 18, 12:55 1
      - ah, thanks. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 12:56
    - No. -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 12:51
- I thought Psych was pretty blah. -- nm - nubby Nov 18, 12:46

  - This. But I'll stick around for Sir Paul. Paul Rudd scored a winner. -- nm - Mop (216 lbs) Nov 18, 12:42
I am trying Doritos First Degree Burn Blazin' Jalapeno chips - con_carne Nov 18, 12:30
Where's the ST English Majors ? ... - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 18, 12:27 26
- First example is correct. Second is absolutely wrong. Third example is correct. -- nm - Qale Nov 18, 12:53 4
  - Only in your third example were you using the word "couple" as a noun, which makes it a singular word. Every other time, you were using it as an - Qale Nov 18, 12:56 3
    - to nitpick (cause I'm good at that) ... it was still a noun, but used in an adjectivial phrase. - loosilu Nov 18, 12:58 2
      - How can you nitpick if you don't even know the name of what you're talking about? :P -- nm - Qale Nov 18, 13:01 1
        
        I do know it's a noun! -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 13:05
- Both are correct. A sentence that uses that word can have "couple" as the subject, but the subject can also be implied - con_carne Nov 18, 12:37
- "where's the English majors at" -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 12:34 1
  - "Yo, where my talkin' bitches at?!" -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 12:34
- welcome to the english language -- nm - oblique Nov 18, 12:34 1
  - seriously ... no doubt why non-speakers as a first language have such a hard time learning English -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 18, 12:41
- if you are taking about a couple i would consider it a singular unit,. if you are talking about the items like "there are a couple of reasons" then - Elf Andie Nov 18, 12:33
- I believe it can go either way depending on your meaning and context. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 12:29 4
  - I'm going to take a guess: If it's just "couple", it's singular; but if it's a couple OF something, it's plural. - loosilu Nov 18, 12:30 3
    - I don't recall the terms but the two uses of "couple" there make them very different words by definition. noun vs. ? -- nm - oblique Nov 18, 12:36 2
      - "couple" can be both subject and modifier -- (link) - con_carne Nov 18, 12:47
      - I think it's always a noun. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 12:42
- Where *are* the ST english majors? -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 12:29 4

  - where are they at?....nm - x Nov 18, 12:32
- where is they? -- nm - cameo Nov 18, 12:28
- "there IS a couple of things" is grammatically incorrect, I believe. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 12:28 3
  - It's also becoming horribly pervasive in the media, along with "there is a lot..." -- nm - Max Nov 18, 12:32 2
    - There is a lot to be said, here. -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 12:33
    - The news has annoyed me this decade; consistently dropping words makes it feel clipped and jarring. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 12:33

        AHA! I was thinking of "railroad", but that's an apartment style rather than a house. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 12:32
