   This kind of felt a bit, well, superfluous.

     Agreed. A week is probably too long to spend on a concept that wasn’t that funny in the first place.

       This is what’s called a “delayed punchline”.

   I dunno. I think hammering the point works because the arguments expressed by Dawson and co are repeated constantly by people completely 100% sure that they are in the right.

   Plus, we needed this page to show that Dawson was right about Ethan, in a way. Everyone gets the fun poked at them, and no-one is arrogant. Thinking otherwise is just…arrogant.

     Yeah, but at least Ethan is just thinking it, not saying it. He even told the douche that he was right.

   I don’t know what everyone else is talking about but I think this might be one of my favorite storylines simply because morons like the guy’s who’s name’s I don’t know are basically everywhere.

     I know this is kinda frowned upon here but I just can’t stand still for “guy’s who’s name’s”. I mean, three words totally moroned up IN A ROW? This is honestly the worst example of apostrophe usage I’ve EVER seen.

     Okay. Everyone can call me a jerk now if they want. But I’m still right, and it’s still sad that the education system pumps out people who can murder the language so badly as this.

       I can see where you’re coming from. Someone correcting or getting annoyed by isolated spelling errors or typos can come across as petty, after all everyone makes mistakes, but three in a row suggests that something’s gone rather wrong.

       Yeah, that’s pretty bad. I mean, if someone is going to fuck something up, couldn’t they at least fuck up consistently?

       guy’s (guys) is an incorrectly pluralized noun.
       who’s (whose) is an incorrectly placed contraction of “who is.”
       name’s (names) is another incorrect pluralization.

       Three apostrophes when you didn’t even need one.

       …You know, I’m actually a little impressed. lol

         And earlier, he didn’t use an apostrophe to pluralize “storylines,” so he must, on some level, KNOW that you don’t use them to create plurals, so… so… *brain leaks out of ears*

       No, you’re not a jerk, you’re a “pedant”.

       I’m learning stuff from ShortPacked! comments!

   I kind of feel sorry for SonicBlueRanger.
