Except For...

English fulfills its name as the language of irregularities and continues to fool even us Americans. Abby and I were wondering about the conjugation of "lie" and "lay" with an interesting ending to the discussion.

Abby (19:30:29): i got schooled
Me (19:30:32): BY JIMMY

Muahahaha.

For those grammatically inclined, this will help (present, past, past participle; intransitive and transitive, respectively):
lie, lay, lain; lay, laid, laid.

So many rules, it's ridiculous. Japanese only has two irregular verbs.


And earlier today I accidentally called her sister "Jackie." Dear Jesus, I felt so embarrassed.


Back to my college lecture for physics and physiology homework. D:
But, but wait! During the lecture, the professor made a jaw-dropping hilarious comment regarding sig-figs (significant digits):

"I just kinda--uh--sig figs are kinda like pornography to me. I know it when I see it but I can't define it."

Life is full of surprises. ;)
