    In general, I do not throw shade at homophonic errors even in quick emails, simply because I know I make those mistakes all the time, so any stone I throw will ricochet right back.

    My latest plan is to scare everybody at the Halloween Parade causing all sorts of chaos and fear. Also, I'm also going to summon demons to do my dirty work as well. Red Fel has nothing on me. Hahahahahahahaha.

    Please, you've got nothing on my scheme. Six years ago I hijacked a rocket and delivered six hundred generically modified monkeys to the moon. Then, after they'd spent two years building a society, I teleported a copy of Planet of the Apes and construction guidelines for antimatter powered war rockets to each of their major city centres. Now they should be ready, and soon the whole world shall feel the wrath of the laser pig-monkeys from the moon!

    And the most dastardly bit is, as a Tiefling, they won't focus their wrath on me.

    EDIT: I give up on colour.

    Before you were saying you were you were going to cause chaos, fear, and demons.
    So, normal Halloween festivities.

    And now you are saying you're trying to take over Halloween?
    Good luck.

    Isn't the whole entire fluff of being a tiefling regarding fear, suspicion, paranoia, and just a general cause of blaming them when things go bad because they're devilspawn. That seems like the least inconspicuous thing to be.

    Why do you think the monkeys ate aggressively atheistic? This isn't my first evil scheme, just the first that doesn't involve a giant half-plant half-lizard creature.

    I consider myself a quasi-deity of evil and yes I've taken over Halloween before even in my child to teen years. But don't underestimate me. I have powers that you can't possibly even imagine.

    I think, given the current plans people have, that my grip on the worlds feline, and thus human, populations will remain uncontested. However, for you own safety I recommend you refrain from large scale endeavors in the future.

    I just went all drama geek on a friend. Still waiting to see the damage...

    Look, when you start me on drama, we're going to reach acting theory and expressionism eventually, and not going into method acting, especially when it's my preferred technique, is just a crime. Plus really, set design is one of the basics of theatre, and you can argue against minimalism as much as you want but the short answer is that the longer your scene transitions the more likely the audience is to attend a performance of the next level of Angry Birds 2.

    I also really need to find some amateur dramatics, guess it's time to hit up Google.

    Okay so, what I mean is that all those vers likely mean substantially different things (probably, I don't know!) whereas the too/to thing are rather close in meaning as well. By "That's the rub" I mean "that's the issue". The ver things are not very similar in meaning, whereas too/to are.

    I'm probably wrong since I don't know French at all.

    vers = towards, ver(s) = worm(s), verre(s) = glass both the material and the thing you drink from, vert(s) = green(s) and vair(s) = fur(s) either a particular type or all furs.

    But too and to have wildly different meanings, one indicates intent or direction and the other means "in addition".

    I wish people who know I have relationship hangups would stop shoving their elationships in my face, so I wouldn't get upset and irritable all the time. Yes, I know you might be really happy about your new boyfriend who you've not really done Y with yet, but you're talking to somebody who, depending on what Y is, has either only done it a handful of times or not at all.

    But no, I'm the one who's wrong for being relationship-obsessed and sad becauseI can't find anybody, even new friends. Maybe I just want one day where I'm not ignored by everybody and somebody decides to acrually start a conversation with me. Maybe I want a jpb where I either get the ability to socialise with people at work or the ability to go to clubs, instead of being told that bdeing able to commit to something is silly and I get no say in when I work because I don't have children.

    What?

    I thought that you lived beyond the great ice wall in Canada and thus obligated to also speak French in you spoke English.

    Did that renowned historical documentary Canadian Bacon lie to me?

    In other news many are walking around masked again around where I live and work, but it's not Halloween, instead it's the third year in a row of air quality warnings due to massive forest fires up north.

    I guess this is our "new normal".
