  • I think the difference is the perception of whether a piece of Lego is “a Lego”; in Europe, that’s typically not the way the word is used.

    I started writing a rebuttal that amused me until I noticed I’d misread your comment, and I don’t want to delete it, so despite being irrelevant to what you’ve said…

    How many super glues do you use for a repair? Do you play on an astroturfs field? Are people carrying maces in their bag for self-defence? Do you eat Jell-Os and burn kerosenes?

    The pun works verbally if a werewolf (literally “man-wolf”) is understood to be a hybrid of man and wolf during the full moon. Instead of changing form into a werewolf, he’s changed form into a warehouse.

    Written down, if he turned into a half-man, half-house he’d be a werehouse, and if he turned into a half-man, half-warehouse he’d be a werewarehouse.

    This is a way bigger faux pas than an ignorable “hi” in my books. We’ve got tools for organizing a meeting. You can check my availability alongside everyone else’s, so we don’t spend three hours playing Calendar Battleships.

    Even if it’s just the two of us, don’t ask me to check my calendar because you can’t be bothered to.

    Totally agree – that’s why I park my truck in the right lane of the three-lane highway near my office. The traffic still has two lanes to use, it’s plenty of space.

    My neighbors in my apartment block have been complaining that I’ve filled one of the elevators with storage crates, too, but there’s another elevator and a set of stairs, so I don’t know what’s got them so upset.
