Why is skwirl so hard to spell correctly?

infinite monkey · 12-30-2011, 10:48 AM

It's nyutken's fault.

Yes, the hunter goes around the squirrel. The two of them make concentric circles around the tree, with the hunter's circle completely enclosing the squirrel's circle.

eta: I missed glatt's answer. wtg glatt! twelve minutes, dang. I was sleeping!

B.S.

Squirrel goes around the tree. Dude is going around the tree, in his larger concentric circle, always opposite the squirrel.

He never goes around the squirrel.

He goes around the tree, which the squirrel happens to be on.

Of course I'll bow to your far superior minds. I did say that I have direction dyslexia and space/time continuum problems. Best to ignore me and don't explain it to me. I'll go away.

In about 30 years.

it goes around it as much as an electron goes around a proton.

the hunter completes a circle which the squirl never leaves. he may never get 'behind' the skwurl, but he does go around it foshizzel. old wrong book.

Because either I'm actually right and these geniuses are wrong (in which case they'll debate heavily, having never BEEN wrong) or I'm wrong and you'll tell me later that I'm wrong as you did when you accidentally thought I was right, or you're saying I'm right just to appease me.

I was asking an honest question, or giving my version of an answer (admittedly at a level far beneath some of you.) Watching you Einsteins do brain cartwheels AROUND me (because I'm not ON the tree) teaches me nothing, makes me feel stupid, and makes you look like jerks.

Hunter =outside circle.
Squirrel = Brown circle
Tree = Black circle.

I agree, the hunter does circle the squirrel

infinite monkey · 12-30-2011, 01:52 PM

(Thanks for trying to explain your reasoning to me, instead of dismissing my answer outright.)

The sqwirllll is not part of the tree. Here be my picture of the man walking around the squirrel. If the squirrel was advancing in circles opposite the man, in his bigger concentric circles, the man is not walking AROUND the squirrel because the squirrel isn't PART OF THE TREE. If the squirrel stayed there like an idiot, I'd change my answer. But that wasn't the question.

(Tree be round part in brown. Sqweeereeeel ees star. Man is explanatory. The Squirrel Not Part of Tree is before I found the text box.)

I don't see how having a divergent opinion makes ME a jerk, infi. if anything, your blubbering makes YOU look like one.

infinite monkey · 12-30-2011, 02:16 PM

I'm not talking about a divergent opinion I'm talking about dismissiveness, and I wasn't necessarily talking to YOU.

So go fuck yourself jim, I'll just keep blubbering. You make baby monkey cry.

MOther fuckers, I'm just trying to participate. some of you are dismissive fucking know-it-alls and THEY can go fuck themselves too.

You try being treated like a second class serf by your 'friends' here and see how you feel. Kinder, gentler, jim.

GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE.

Thanks, really, thanks. This new nice jim sure does understand the heart of others. When he feels like it.
