Litmus tests

[DG3]

I mean people who say "over/under on how many hotdogs you could eat in one sitting?" when they're just asking how many hotdogs they think the other person could eat

as opposed to "over/under 7.5 hotdogs in one sitting?"

I see what you're saying. Yeah, they probably don't know wtf that means. I guess I read that knowing what it means and think about how it's actually applicable to the situation.

Another litmus test I use is are you Wrangor, or are you not Wrangor. If not Wrangor, we can be cool.

Juice's o/u thing is more of a hairsplitting pet peeve than something that should be a litmus test.

What's the O/U on how many posters on this thread also don't know what a litmus test is?

When someone says something like that I just assume they are asking what I would set the over/under at if I was betting on it. Sometimes even people that know things aren't precise with their words. I try to give them the benefit of the doubt.

thought you owned a boat

If someone uses "craft" when referring to their boat I would also quickly add them to the goddamn moron list.

I judge people who say "craft beers" harsher than those who say "microbrews" or "local brews." Maybe because I'm almost 45, but it just seems pretentious.

No Mastercraft, Correct Craft or Chris Craft for you I guess

proper use of less/fewer

 

[ImTheCaptain]

proper use of fewer/less

FIFY

You're setting yourself up to have a lot less friends with this one. Almost no one gets that one right.

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

it's not a litmus test for friendship

we can still hang out

Nope, nope, and nope. I would go Malibu over the first two. Chris Craft belongs on the pretentious thread, unless you're talking old-school JFK-style wood but I wouldn't ever see myself actually buying one of those.

I doubt I could be legit friends with anyone who posts stuff like this on FB

Malibu is a much better value than Mastercraft. Agree on the pretentiousness of the Chris Craft. I saw a new one on Lake Norman about a month ago. They all had on button down shirts tucked into their khakis. There is no way they were having a good time at 3mph and the temperature around 95 degrees.

Lol this is such a poor rube take. Correct Craft > Master Craft > Malibu.

proper use of less/fewer

overuse of slashes (and "and/or")

 

[ProfessorDeac]

overuse of slashes (and "and/or")

overuse of parentheses, too, dammit
