Mmm... this ice cream tastes like a Midwestern twang. |
|
| |
We don't have accents in the Midwest. Everybody else does. |

this idea is no joke,
this is what i saw.
I was in the subway and i saw a blind gentleman
lead to a stairway by his seeing eye dog. They
both stopped the blind person asked a stranger is
the most polite sweetest voice "am i at a flight of
stairs, is there a passage way between, which
way?" then as if possessed by satan with the
nastiest voice he leaned over and said to the dog
"this
is it, i have had it i am so tired of your shit let's
go, i'm finished" |
|
| |
this experience perplexed me and inspired the
idea, so
no flavor here |
|
| |
and why does satan require a capital in order to be
spelled correctly |
|
| |
Your being perplexed doesn't really make that much difference - as presented, it is still a GPS system with a novelty voice - only instead of a celebrity, it's someone doing a doggy voice. |
|
| |
Your journey of inspiration and perplexement provides a certain dark frisson - But this essentially boils down to there being an instance where the comfortable stereotype of "nice blind person in loving relationship with their dog" turned out to be a fiction, an interesting vignette, I'm just not sure I understand how that helps. |
|
| |
Satan normally requires a capital, because it's a (to use the jargon) "Proper Name" - and that's one of the things that proper names do. You are still spelling it correctly though. |
|
| |
Perhaps, if you wish to express your protest to the Dark Lord, you should spell it sNAAT5? Not only eschewing all proper capitalisation, but ignoring the usual letter order as well - AND thowing in a silent-five - that'll show him - though adopting this option really should be balanced against the risk that others might not know what you're on about. |
|
| |
...b-but you don't understand, sNAAT5 is the name of my dog! |

ZT the idea is based on this
a. facilitate transition from from dogs guiding to
gps guidance.
b. teach them a thing or two about how silly it
seems to me to be guided by a dog. |
|
| |
Also the system would have to be a hybrid of gps
and cellular signal transfer and repeating, as you
know gps does not work indoors and triangulation
would have to rely on multiple signals. |
|
| |
[ZT], you don't think Lord Lucifer might secretly relish such pervy spelling contortions? |
|
| |
//because it's a (to use the jargon) "Proper Name"// |
|
| |
However, in this instance, the phrase "proper name" does
not require capitals, since "proper name" is not a proper
name. |
|
| |
// Your journey of inspiration and perplexement provides
a certain dark frisson//
That sounds like one of the phrases that you hear when
listening to Dutch people and incorrectly believing them
to be speaking English. |
|
| |
//Lord Lucifer might secretly relish such pervy spelling//
Evidently an individualist, like Tom Lehrer's friend Hen3ry. |
