Geeze, where's the sense of adventure these days? SWMBO was a ten-second search to figure out.
EAC, now that was a fun night! I spent what seemed like hours tracking that one down! All to find out it was simply Enormous Anal Cavity. I really thought it would be something more fun/x-rated than that!
stillbrewin said:Seriously! Why is etc. a preposition?
If I end a sentence in et cetera. Would that be correct?
Wikipedia defines etc. as latin for "and other things", or "and so forth".
Forth, nor things are not prepositions.
I understand why you do not end a sentance with a preposition.
I suck at grammer and puncuation, but I am pretty good at spelling.
Educate me please.
unsanitary should actually be insanitary
Insanitary: adj. So unclean as to be a likely cause of disease.
Unsanitary: adj. Not sanitary; adj. not conducive to or promoting health; dirty or unhygienic.
That may be a bit hyper-technical for a home brewing forum.

Yes. Unless it's no.Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it Aluminium instead of Aluminum as well?
You have a valid point, however, we all come here at least in-part to learn.
The infomation we choose to use or ignore is the same here as in the brewing arena. This thread makes it fun for some of us. I can see where it's not everyone's cup of tea.
Sorry, I was mistaken. It's will-AM-it - dammit.
Department of redundancy department...For me, personally, I
My single biggest pet peeve in homebrewing: acetaldehyde is five syllables, not six. Far too many people pronounce it as "aah-see-tul-al-duh-hide", when it should be "aah-sid-al-de-hide."
When in doubt, think of that old hippie "Acid Al" DeHyde.
My biggest pet peeve is people that pronounce the t as a d in acetaldehyde.
Pliny the Elder, not Pliney the Elder
Pilsener, not Pilsner... this might be old English
You're right, of course... of course here in NJ we pronounce most of our T's as D's. Especially when we're "down the shore."
To Dudest: I don't think it's about acting superior, but rather trying to educate others. The lack of basic understanding of the language is sometimes appalling, and only getting worse all the time. If you can't communicate properly then you can't communicate effectively.
And it rhymes with tinny, not tiny.
Actually. It rhymes with tiny!
