Surely once their foot is in the zebra these pedestrians do have the right of way.
How about we don’t derail this post into yet another pointless discussion of pedestrian v. drivers, hmmm?
Thanks.

You mean derail the thread? Because the post to which I replied was certainly about pedestrians and drivers.
For that matter, the thread’s title suggests it is primarily automotive in nature.

It’s not.
And thanks for the pedantry; but please abide.

Why is a pineapple?
Because ginger isn’t.
I’m frequently late for class because I get stuck behind slow-moving students 1/3 my age.
Although I’ve been great for a while, I do sometimes have to use a cane. I’ve noticed that even when I’m doing so, I’ll inevitable have to weave my way through a pack of slow moving students meandering their way down the hall. (Side note: it’s a wide hall, how on Earth are they managing to block so much of it?) Seriously people, the person with the cane is moving faster than you are; get out of the way before I prod you with it.
- “On accident” (epidemic among millenials)
- “Across” pronounced with a “T” at the end (epidemic here in Oregon)

Omg it has a name ?!?!?!? You sir are my hero.
Thank you, but now I have to talk like this anymore.
I… kind of… love it. ::ducks::
also “needs washed” and “try fix” constructions
I say “needs done” all the time, even though the positive anymore bothers the everloving crap out of me. I’m not sure why.
“On accident” (epidemic among millenials)
On the contrary; I know plenty of Gen X’ers who say “on accident.” I’ve never paid any attention as to whether Baby Boomers do it or not.
Irrespective of population it never fails to grind my gears. Are you (heaven forfend) defending the indefensible here?
I’m not ‘defending’ anything; incorrect grammar is incorrect, no matter who’s using it.
I was pointing out the logical fallacy in saying or even implying that it’s mostly millennials who do so.
“Why doesn’t Google work?”
“Have you connected to the Wifi?”
“No.”
Why is a pineapple?
“Poison oak or poison ivy (Rhus diversiloba), both as a bush and a scrambler up trees and rocks, is common throughout the foothill region up to a height of at least three thousand feet above the sea. It is somewhat troublesome to most travellers, inflaming the skin and eyes, but blends harmoniously with its companion plants, and many a charming flower leans confidingly upon it for protection and shade. I have oftentimes found the curious twining lily (Stropholirion Californicum) climbing its branches, showing no fear but rather congenial companionship. Sheep eat it without apparent ill effects; so do horses to some extent, though not fond of it, and to many persons it is harmless. Like most other things not apparently useful to man, it has few friends, and the blind question, ‘Why was it made?’ goes on and on with never a guess that first of all it might have been made for itself.”
