Beer of the Bass Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Hypothetically, if I borrowed the steel mesh from the front of my speaker cabinet and used it to support food on top of my barbecue, would it be both a grille and a grill? Quote

Immo Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Not too bass related, but gotta mention it: iIn Poland the biggest language pet peeve of all is "bynajmniej" vs. "przynajmniej". "Bynajmniej" (spelled bee-nay-mney) means "not at all" or "anything, but" or "it's the last thing I meant". "Przynajmniej" (spelled pshee-nay-mney) means "at least". People who confuse this word are silly. They say something like "Bynajmniej jestem inteligentny, nie tak jak ty!" which means "I'm not inteligent at all, unlike you!" when they want to say "I'm at least intelligent, unlike you!" Dunno if it makes me angry or laugh more Edited November 23, 2013 by Immo Quote

Kirky Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Not a bass one, but a peculiarity of the way they speak up here in Yorkshire, is the use of 'while' when they really mean 'until'. "I'm working while 3 o'clock" means "I'm working until 3 o'clock" in Yorkshire. Problematic when faced with a sign at a railway crossing that says "Wait while the red lights are flashing"... Quote
