(lupie, lizzip, aldabra There was an lash out against livejournals that list potentially objectionable interests, I hear including fiction, or victim support. See, reasons for decentralised socialising forums.)

Conveniently, I don't have any interests. I've won! Mwahaha! Wait, no, that makes me sound sad...

"science isn't fiction! oneone!eleven!111"

Well, it *could* be.

I'm torn on "eleventy". I've always thought it was cute, but I'm sure at some point in the future I'm going to flip over into "bloodbath"... OTOH, it's cool to think in the future, "eleventy" will be a term of approbation, and only linguists will remember the etymology :)

[mair_in_grenderich]

I never mentioned eleventy. If it's going to make you flip, I'll avoid it in future as well :)

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Oh no, not you, that just reminded me of it.

[lizzip.livejournal.com]

It's allowed - it's in LotR. :p

Er, what?

[mair_in_grenderich]

And it's almost like elventy, and elves are certainly in LoTR

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Wow, that Tolkien, and his wacky irregular plural shenanigans :)

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Oh, right. I remember. I think we might even have had this argument before. "Eleventy" to mean "One hundred and ten" is fine (not to be overused, but has its place). "Eleventy" to mean "Ohmygoshwow" is the potential problem :)

It wasn't us who discussed that, actually, but interesting to know - and I'm sorry for my flippancy. (:

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

No, apparently not. At any rate, I couldn't find it in googlemail lj notifications. And, uh, I'm not objecting to flippancy, here. I dread to think anything I said sounded serious :) (Though sounding correct is ok :))
