Post What's on Your Mind

A RPG?
An RPG?
I usually use "An" because it sounds right, but R isn't a vowel.
I finally looked up the correct grammar rule. Since you say it with a vowel sound you would say "An Arr-Pee-Gee."

Makes sense. You say "an hour"
A unicorn. An umbrella.

Things I've probably been writing wrong when it comes to acronyms.
An MP3 (em-pee-three)
An ipod.

Then again, I guess it depends if you're reading it as an acronym or just an abbreviation. Do you see "OMG" as "oh-em-gee" or would you actually say "Oh my god"
"An Arr-Pee-Gee." or "A Role-Playing Game". I can go both ways, so that's probably why I can be inconsistent within the same paragraph. My mind wants to add variation from sentence to sentence. So I'll go between thinking the acronym in one, to just abbreviating it the next. Even though it looks the same, it sounded different in my head.
 
Yeah some people stubbornly believe that it's a vowel character that requires "an"; it's definitely the vowel phonetic.

A common problem sentence on the web would be "I used to own a SNES".
 
Dang. Part of me was curious to see how many forum posts I've made over the years using "a rpg" The other part demands perfection.
But it seems the forum doesn't like to search for terms under 4 characters. Maybe google...

Yes. Errors found and corrected. :robot:
The world is now a better place, in a small insignificant way. And aren't we all small and insignificant?
Also I must apologize for my grammar shortcomings in that 1 post in 2009 and 2013. It must have been hard on you to endure my ignorance and hold your silent all these years. But you can let it go now.
 
I was at the mall the other day and it was a depressing sight. All the big stores are closing. And the little shops are just florescent lit white walls with no real promotional graphics to attract people into the store. They haven't had a proper arcade in years. There was place for birthday parties, but it looked like all kinds of suck.
And now they walled off half a bank, crammed some cabinets and claw machines in there, and put up a sign made out of colored construction paper that says GAME ROOM

Told a friend of mine I started playing FFT and he challenged me to a race to see who would beat it first. I'm currently level 17. Also, I've been going to the gym to get this beach bod gleaming. Also, also it's been exactly 4 months to the day since I've had any candy, soda, cakes, cookies or anything like that! :toot: :cheers:
 
My diet is mostly dairy and salt. My sugar intake isn't as high as my sister makes it out to be. Just pop. Maybe a bowl of ice cream when we have it. I get vegetables in the form of salsa.
cheese. chips. tortillas. eggs. deer meat. and turkey sandwiches is about all I ever eat.
Oh, and vit c supplements. Sometimes with water~

Such lifestyle. Very bland. Much humble.

How much pop do you drink a day?
 
What are you playing at Universe? Are you trying to get on my good side? Because it's working.
