Title: What Part of the Nation Are You In? (If you're in one at all)
Post by: G-Dawg on June 08, 2006, 08:24:21 PM: I wonder what state people live in...besides under the bed or the closet, etc. Don't worry I'm not a sex offender and I believe you guys aren't either. I'm a curious little dude too, so I hope you vote.

I live in the Valley of Californ-i-a! (I just realized how long it took me to do that.)
(And sorry if someone else has made a topic like this already.)

Post by: SolidShroom on June 08, 2006, 08:49:07 PM: I'm a delawarean(I think that's how it's spelled). It's a pretty flat, cityless place. We have one city, smelly air and tons of rednecks. Trust me though, it's better than it sounds.

Post by: Sapphira on June 09, 2006, 01:41:53 PM: You had South Carolina listed twice, and South Dakota was missing, so I fixed it.

I live in North Carolina (and have for almost 5 years), although I've lived about half of my life (9 1/2 years) in California and also lived in Maryland for the first 6 years of my life.
Presently, however, I'm in a different "part of the nation," but I don't actually live here. ;)

Post by: Markio on July 08, 2006, 11:17:07 AM: Go Sooners!

If you don't understand, it's because I'm not from Oklahoma. I'm from California! an hour south from San Francisco, to be more exact. And I'm moving soon anyway, so maybe I'll be closer or farther away than I am now.
Title: Re: What Part of the Nation Are You In? (If you're in one at all)
Post by: Luigison on July 08, 2006, 11:33:30 AM: Is that an hour by plane, train, or mule? As the crow flies?

You're now in Oklahoma. Did you measure distance in hours when you were in California, or is that a new measurement you acquired after living in the South?

BTW, I do it too and I'm from Mississippi though I currently live in California.

Title: Re: What state do you live in?
Post by: Koopaslaya on August 22, 2007, 09:39:58 PM: I really wish the name of this topic were "In Which State do you live?" Ending a sentence with a preposition, though sometimes allowable, still sounds awkward. I admit, I am guilty of it, but I try to keep it under control. "Where is it at?" is one of my worst. That "at" is so unnecessary. I think it's another Ohio thing.
Title: Re: What state do you live in?
Post by: Lizard Dude on August 22, 2007, 10:20:47 PM: Ending a sentence with a preposition is always allowable, but sometimes unnecessary, as you just pointed out, and that's why English teachers made up that ludicrous rule that you shall not end any sentence with a preposition whatsoever and it messes up people like Bird Person's writing.

Almost all writing "rules" are just invented to keep n00bs from making large mistakes, but if you follow all the rules, you will never become great, only good.
Title: Re: What state do you live in?
Post by: Chupperson Weird on August 25, 2007, 01:13:59 AM: Asking where something is "at" is one of the few sentence-ending prepositions that really does not sit well with me. The "at" is not only pointless, but completely nonsensical.

Ameri-cans...
Puerto Ri-cans...
Mexi-cans...

By the way, a lot of prepositions can be avoided altogether if you simply reword your sentence. "What was that for," is the same as, "Why did you do that," am I right? "The situation we're in is dire," could be changed to "Our situation is dire." "Where are you at" is an abomination--you're wasting your breath, and the number of times the word "at" can be used before catastrophe strikes is NOT looking good. What's wrong with, "Where are you?" I'm not sure if propositions that complete verbs (hanging up a phone, bowing down before Bird Person) count...
