English words and the problems they cause...

[Ol Smoke]

If you are 21 years old and have sex with a minor, you go to jail.

But if you have sex with a miner, no problem.

 

So when you are out with a young girl, be sure to specify if she is a miner or a minor?

 

 

Could help.

Could be both? 

These days, she might mean she's a "data miner"! 

Or even, "Urban Miner", aka "Dumpster Diver".

 

 

I once read speculation about what English Learners might make of the phrase, "blinking colon".

[NoGooD]

Just curious as to what kind of girl would be working in a mine to begin with. She'd have to have hands like a catchers mitt.

 

Whatever floats your boat Smoke.

Haha

[Ol Smoke]

Yeah, but if you are out on a date and ask her if she is a minor...maybe she's not so good with the English heh?

And she thinks you said miner...she says no I am not miner.   You could be in deep doo-doo.

 

 

Eh, potato  potato

I reckon English is amazing what I hate is the English Spellings such as Colour - Color (I prefer this one) and like Centre- Center ( I prefer this one as with meter)
