Actually I was commenting on the last guys use of "at least" there.
A million dollars is AT LEAST marginally better than a nail through the head.
It tells you nothing about the difference in quality. If something is at least marginally better it COULD be miles better

Reply to Finally reading Tolkien by jdbrew
I started Lord of the rings three times.
At some point I "got" the language and loved it from then on in
Similar to the Patrick O'Brian Aubrey/Maturin books - hard to get into but so worth it

The Book is far superior. I still cannot believe they ACTUALLY DID THE HOLLYWOOD ENDING that he takes the piss out of in the book. I mean COME ON.
the Film is a Poor copy of the book. Or even the Audiobook (although I listened to the RC Bray version not the Wil Wheaton one - and apparently the RC Bray version is superior - it was excellent)

Wtf are you talking about....
You think I.... a 47yr old British person with a BBC accent you wouldn't belive, someone who actually had Latin lessons in school..... need a reddit TIL to learn the meaning of the word decimate.
Sigh.... dei gratia sum quod sum eh!
We also know what well regulated means. We have a dictionary over here.

When you go to the doctor for an appendectomy you'd better hope some cunt hasn't been using it as a slang term for castration...
Also.. literally cannot mean exactly the opposite of figuratively which is how it gets commonly used.... thats not changing the meaning, its getting it fucking wrong
2+2 = Geoff hurst in the 1966 world cup kinda wrong.
Words HAVE to have a defined meaning or you just end up at green wallaby .
Get just the first thing that will still!

I..... I think I love you.
Nothing gets my goat more than stupid people implying decimation means complete destruction of something.
You still have 90% of your army after it's been decimated FFS

If anyone's interested this is the Public Order legislation - it's pretty readable
Basically this is stuff you can't do "in person" so no reason you should be allowed to do it online
