My head had a different response when I started balding-
You don't seem to have a good grasp on one of the special rules of the English language! If enough people call bison buffalo then buffalo becomes proper usage in the English language, when referring to American bison. Also, I saw a few possums in my back yard, here in Texas, last night!Well shit, now I really need to vent

Cicadas are known for their regular emergence—annually or in cycles of 13 or 17 years—and their ability to produce a distinct, buzzy, droning sound. Locusts are a type of grasshopper known for sometimes traveling in swarms and devouring plant life on a large scale. Still, cicadas are sometimes referred to as locusts.
This one really pisses me off and it is so fucking common, even in school they teach about the buffalo roaming the great plains of the US. Point in fact, there are NO buffalo that are native to North America.

So how do you tell the difference between buffalo and bison? Bison have large humps at their shoulders and bigger heads than buffalo. They also have beards, as well as thick coats which they shed in the spring and early summer. Another simple way to tell a buffalo from a bison is to look at its horns.
as much as i WANT to disagree with you, you're right. that's the issue with the aforementioned "irregardless." by all rights it SHOULD be incorrect, but it's in the dictionary which makes it correct. also, a friend of mine pointed out something that i've always hated him for, but a "word" is something that conveys an agreed upon meaning. if someone uses a word and there's no question on what that word means, then it is considered a legitimate word. he was like, when i say "irregardless" it doesn't matter that mechanically it means the opposite of "regardless," all that matters is that everyone knows that it's functionally a synonym of "regardless."You don't seem to have a good grasp on one of the special rules of the English language!

I never read any rules for pronunciation, but it's probably the same! So, if half the population pronounces it gif, then it wouldn't matter what the fuck the inventor thinks.
P.S. There are no humans native to the Americas, yet here we are!

Are you just trolling?da fuk? Native means you were born here. What the fuck do you think is happening? Are we all being born in space and trasnported to America?

Humans only arrived in the Americas very recently -- within the last 10-20 thousand years. The continents ecosystems essentially evolved without humans. Humans are not native to the Americas, its a pretty straightforward statement.
WTF kind of word retardation did you just try to invent?….so irrelentless in your position that it cost a friendship, this may not be an irremediless….
This picture is severely rustling. DirecTV installers are such hacks. My old house had coax looped up in the middle of a kitchen counter, a random linen closet (where there was no power outlet near), and the middle of the short side of a narrow living room no one would ever have mounted a TV near. The absolute king was the room where they missed the intended room, so it makes an abrupt 90 and punches through drywall to the adjacent room. No wall plates whatsoever, just random lengths of coax coiled up. Whenever I see installs like this I'm reminded of that.
