How do you get a THIRD degree burn from this?
First, Second, Yeah, I can see that.
But a body part pretty much has to be submersed in boiling water for long moments , or subjected to superheated pressurized steam to get a third degree, unless I am remembering my Boy Scout first aid merit badge training wrong.
I see it frequently on F.R., it means the poster is about to attribute something to you that you never said nor even implied.
People will infer what they will, no matter if it's true or not.
Gee, and it looks like SO much fun! sheesh...
I'd prefer that to more 'warning labels'. In another thread I lamented the fact that by some accounts lighters should have a warning label, "Caution: Danger of fire when operated.", or something to that effect.
I recall now: It was the thread about the gal that heated up her car with a charcoal fire beneath her engine (and consequent logical effects).
Tune in next week for “Playing with fire !”
Thanks for the recommendation!
Yeah, I’m not doing that one either.
Use of “So...” on FR:
Not so bad here IMHO. I see it as a verbal tic, like ‘ya know’ or a teenager’s ‘like’, but used when the speaker wants to say “listen up, I’m about to say something important” - and with almost every sentence and totlally superfluous. Here, the people in the story were tweeting it!
“Is the use of the word “so” to begin sentences not a feature of your dialect?”
It is, and wish it wasn’t. Maybe it’s localized. Interesting.
