Mr. Jones should proudly frame this and put it on his wall. It is a masterpiece.
you sent the request purely to waste our time
What? Waste your–? No, man, no… Really, no!
False advertising, lol
Seems they actually don’t buy any car
Think about the great publicity this would have brought for practically nothing had they played along and even made him an offer on the toy car?
I know that they sometimes say “any publicity is good publicity”, but I wouldn’t want to use their service now that I know they can’t roll with a joke.
If this is a US company, sue them
I only do this as I like to learn new things myself and appreciate if people correct me.
You made a mistake in choosing to use an over a.
The way you can decide which one to use is by looking at the proceeding words first syllable sound. If it has a vowel sound you use an if it doesn’t, then you use a. It’s important to note it’s vowel sound and not just a vowel.
Examples:
- A teacher
- An apple
- A car
- An hour (note it starts with a vowel sound, but not a vowel)
- A US company
- An excellent teacher
Teach me about the very common “an historical” usage, master!
Some people say it like “an -istorical”
It’s istory init?
A historical would be the correct usage, but it seems to be a generational thing where some people may still use an historical.
Edit: I was curious and so I found this source explaining more about the usage
Corrected
I mean it worked lol
Adam Jennings DOXXED!!!
We certainly know what kind of car he has.
I don’t get this community. My post 2 weeks ago was deleted for being a “meme”, but this one straight out of r/funny stays up?
I also feel this post doesn’t fit this community. Confusion and disagreement about what fits is unfortunate but very natural because it’s hard to define exactly what posts on this sub should be.
The owner once described this community as c/hmmm with text, and even though that should exclude this particular post, it still doesn’t really seem to fully encapsulate the feeling evoked by the majority of posts here. IMO, ideal posts to this community also invoke nostalgia and utilize surrealism.
My best guess is that this post accrued a substantial number of upvotes before being noticed by the community moderators. Then, because the community responded so well to the post, it was left up despite breaking the normal guidelines.
They deleted my post at over 300, so they aren’t afraid to do that.
Next steps: remove roof, re-submit as “Red convertible (compact).”
I’m conflicted because I like this post but also feel it does not fit this community.
