moomintroll doesn't really see why it would create any more harmony, but he likes the idea. Julius Caesar did this all the time, didn't he? |
|
| |
dentworth doesn't know Mr.Ceasar, but is sure he is a nice fellow. |
|
| |
Shouldn't it be 'refer to him/herself in third person day'? |
|
| |
Avast! Me hearties, Cap'n Ato_de be thinkin' that it can't be no worse than talkin' like a pirate day. |
|
| |
Shouldn't it be "Avast! his hearty..." |
|
| |
if she changes the subtitle will they (plurals allowed) understand? |
|
| |
//dentworth doesn't know Mr Caesar// |
|
| |
Nice chap. Makes dog food. |
|
| |
[2 fries] is using a 1st person plural if dent is not mistaken. They will most likely pick up on this. |
|
| |
phew; this is getting difficult |
|
| |
Nope. Just royal first person. |
|
| |
Hidden likes this idea but is unsure what it says of the egos / sanity of the halfbakers. |
|
| |
Your Uncle Nutsy was seen to be doing this some time ago. |
|
| |
// phew; this is getting difficult // |
|
| |
They would have been seeing nothing yet. |
|
| |
They would have been thinking the idea would not have been going far enough. They would have been preferring having had been celebrating Third Person Plural Conditional Past Perfect Continuous Day instead. |
|
| |
Should not the subtitle read "Refer to oneself in the third person day" ? |
|
| |
They would have been liking [tolpuddles'] suggestion. but they would not have been changing the title just yet. Thanks. |
|
| |
Bakery trivia; who was that annoying new person, about a year or so ago, that always referred to himself in the first person? I can't recall the name, but I do recall how annoying it was. |
|
| |
Bob Dole would have been president. |
|
| |
It rubs the notion on its skin.... |
|
| |
T'wouldn't having being reensure. |
|
| |
//and build bridges to all nations// |
|
| |
How about fourth person day?
"I know this guy that thinks that CedarPark would like this" |
|
| |
[Pericles] because there is no i in 'world peace'. |
|
| |
\\who was that annoying new person, about a year or so ago, that always referred to himself in the first person\\
Hidden wonders how one is expected to refer to oneself. |
|
| |
They would have been asking Yoda how they could have been referring to themselves, and would have been getting the reply: |
|
| |
Referring to themselves using the force they should have been. |
|
| |
Fifth person day. I met a guy who said that he knows a guy who said that he thought that DrBob thought that this idea was going to be about an insurance scam. |
|
| |
Froggie thinks that this is a good idea, and deserves a bigger bun than usual ideas do. |
|
| |
Would royalty, who almost always refer to themselves in the 3rd person, have to speak in the 1st person? |
|
| |
[to Detly] ! go to one's room. |
|
| |
[to UB] thanks, they shall have been having a good time, too. |
|
| |
[to froglet] dentworth bows to the whim of royalty even on special days. |
|
| |
//there is no i in 'world peace'.//
Oh good, so I have nothing to do with it, then. |
|
| |
P.S. It annoys me when people refer to themselves in the 3rd person. No dice. I mean, no bun. |
|
| |
He even laughs in the third person, "He he he he". |

Imagined this as a politically correct holiday, celebrating the famous Carol Reed movie. |
|
| |
You have noticed that second person day has not been suggested yet. You think that second person day may open an avenue for conversational chaos for those of you without sufficient grasp of grammar to implement Third Person Plural Conditional Past Perfect Continuous Day. Do any of me agree with this? |
|
| |
AWOL is referring to The Third Man? One is not familiar with C. Reed's work. |
|
| |
But [dentworth] would be familiar with the famous zither-based theme tune. dum-de-dum-de-dum--dee-dah, dum-de-dum-de-dahh |
|
| |
Hidden wonders when the irony of this will wear off and he can return to regular old seventh person speech. |
