Can we help Conan out just a bit?

While we're on the topic of silly pet peeves (we were were't we?  If not, my apologies then) let me throw one out to the crowd.  The misuse of the terms "prostrate" and "prostate".  Lately 95% of the reviews I've read switch the terms which is confusing (not to mention embarassing and uncomfortable depending on the circumstances).

Although I understand they are both valid words and spellcheck won't catch the error the meaning and applications of the words are very different.  Although admittedly you might be prostrate to get a prostate massage.  :-)

Can we please work this out amongst ourselves before Conan stops by?  I'm sure he has much more important things to deal with than this.  Like crushing enemies beneath his feet and hearing the lamentation of the women.

Ok, I'm stepping down off my soapbox now.  I don't want to be an aprostate about it.  Sorry, of course what I meant to say was "I don't want to be an apostate about it".  Don't be such sticklers - you know what I meant to say.   ;-)

...in "Lamentations?" Or is this one of those nouns like "evidence" or "god" where plurals are possible (evidences of gods makes sense), but we agree for cultural reasons to keep it singular?

Ok, we probably will need Conan's help with that one.  It's much too deep for me to figger out.  ;-)

As I wrote only about a week ago, some of the writing here is execrable to the point where you can't figure out what the writer is trying to say.  This was one of many reasons JCA just became SPOAT.  And the OP is correct, Conan is simply too busy to handle such a huge task on his own.
So thanks to electr0 for surfacing this important topic.  Or was it impotent?

Either way I'm glad I got that off my chest - I appreciate folks letting me rant.

Thanks bro!  *bumps fist with Conan*  Ow! Damn that hurt.  *makes mental note - never fistbump with Conan!*

continue in with the misuse of "message" and "massage",  "she gave me a message" but the OP never says what the message was.  He would've had more fun if he had asked her for a "massage

Good point - that happens frequently too.  Another annoying mixup that would spin Conan into a murderous rage.  But then again it doesn't take much to spin Conan into a murderous rage these days.  Thanks for bringing it up.

Massage received - loud and clear.

;-)

I visualize eight nude Viking Goddess blondes, all between 5'9" and 6', mostly D cups and with their waist-length hair teasing to cover them until the weeping and gnashing of teeth gets to passionate for such demure concerns. Unlike music, there'd be no royalties to deal with. Crying one's eyes out interspersed with desperate howls and tearful sighs is common domaine.

Wanna buy a ticket?

When people ask for advise when they mean advice I cringe.

I hate the Spelling Police almost as much as I hate the PC Police, but I will concede, some people butcher the English language so badly, "something" needs to be said.

That said, unless and until a poster's writing give me a literal headache to read, like Annoyingfungus or Blah Blah Blue, criticizing a post for an occasional misspelled word or typo is just over the top to me, and makes me think the pedantic putz making the correction has no other point to make.

So please tell Conan to "Go fuck himself" next you see him, and don't be afraid to fist bump Conan, Conan is actually a wimp

Well I guess this is where we agree to disagree.  Anyone who can swing a mean battle axe AND chop off a dangling participle has my utmost respect.

Plus Conan said he'd let me borrow one of his Valkyrie babes for the weekend...
