I've got a site bookmarked - "Common Errors in English usage", and it says both are wrong; that it's two words: "all right" But I'm personally less bugged by "alright" than "allright", for some reason. And the spell-checker just flagged "allright", but not "alright". Hmm.

Yep, we can throw citations back and forth all day. Proud to be a stickler, especially on a "grammar police" forum topic. https://www.vocabulary.com/articles/chooseyourwords/nauseated-nauseous/ "If you're nauseated you're about to throw up, if you're nauseous, you're a toxic funk and you're going to make someone else puke. These words are used interchangeably so often that it makes word nerds feel nauseated!" "Sticklers will keep the distinction. If you feel nauseated after thinking about this nauseous distinction, then you're on the right track."

People using "nauseous" when they mean "nauseated". If you're feeling it, it's "nauseated". If you're causing it, it's "nauseous". When someone announces they're nauseous, I always look behind them for the crowds of puking people in their wake.

According to this, it's the first. http://forvo.com/word/quinnipiac/

I think it's hilarious, esp. the one buttoned-up lady who keeps getting grossed out by her increasingly naked coworker. Laughed at the delivery man walking into a wall looking at the topless receptionist. I think the average viewer will just laugh at the commercial and not worry about how the actual beer tastes.

One of the YT comments was "Do not go gentle into that good night... Whale, whale, against the dying of the light...", which made me laugh.

That's fabulous.

I hadn't seen it before. I like it - and laughed when the guy on the subway woke up to find himself in a musical.

They missed a golden opportunity to bust out a version of "Bad Boys" Just think - "fat boy, fat boy, who ya gonna call, who ya gonna call when they come for you? Fat Boys, Fat boys..."

Man, I had to google that since rumors of his death have been floating around the internet for ages.

People using "of" instead of "have" grates my cheese. I hate it. My Dad's egg-corns were intentional to be funny. So, he'd call Alzheimer's disease "old-timer's disease" and Oil of Olay became "oil of old age"

The suggested videos that popped up at the end for me included some rather hilarious videos of kittens going batshit over what might be their first taste of the canned, stinky, mushy food - growling and slinging claws right and left if someone gets too close.

He's gorgeous! Is that a kind of dilute orange? He looks like a buff tabby. How much does Gigantical Cat weigh?

I'll take any kind of hybrid brownie! But DirecTV already defined a crownie as a cupcake/brownie. Which reminds me I really need to try to make some, because yum! I know you're supposed to laugh at Tony Romo, but all I think when I see that is "That looks really good!"

Damn. That's cold. It's Duke! He's lonely after they started making baked bean ads without him.

I think the majority of them stay mostly because it's all they know and change is scary. If they return after Rumspringa, they will be baptized into the church and from that day forward must adhere to church teachings. If they change their minds and leave again after formally joining the church, they are shunned, even by their family. Interestingly, they aren't allowed to formally join the church until after Rumspringa.

Sorry, I still love that ad. It's silly and fun.

I thought it was funny, myself. He's just romping mindlessly around having fun, and then the narrator says he's going to be expected to nurse those wolves and you can practically hear the record scratch. He's all "Oh hell, no!" and runs like the wind. As you do when something with big fangs starts eying your titties.

I thought it was because he was getting more with Geico, symbolized by more muscles, a better workout , or something.

I love that he got zapped. That's OK. It was a great ad.

Founder of Electric 6, the band. Brought up with this post:

You might be right. A friend of Dick Valentine's chimed in today on Facebook with: "He has a previous relationship with Milk, Inc." and linked to this - How the hell did I manage to miss this blissful lunacy?

I got a cryptic "They made a decision." I wanted more than that, and find myself disappointed..

No, but I need to! I'll do that and get back to you.

Watching this made me go looking for more E6 videos and just generally googling them. Wound up on Dick Valentine's Facebook page, liked a few things and he just shot me a friend request. Woot! Interesting factoids - the woman in this video was a 70 year-old actress hired for the vid. Perfect casting, IMO, and she's oddly hot. But the vocal that she lip-syncs to? Jack White.
