Noah always qualifies his statements like that now and its funny of all the fights he could chime in on, it was that few! = 3 for whatever reason.

Shoulda known right then DF wasn't blogging on Monday.

When you say "several", did you mean more than 3?

just so u all know u can fix that problem of the last page getting stuck by going into options and changing how many posts there are per page

LOL. Sometimes I say several when I really mean few just to throw people off.

I'm so glad that the only things I've ever written that were seen by a lot of people were donk stories. I couldn't imagine being in the spotlight to the point where people spend 2 days arguing a single word I wrote. Would drive me nuts.

I set it to 0 but the thread is still here. What did I do wrong?

silence today doesnt really signify anything
id say wait til wednesday if nothing by wed night then we can argue about wat "a few" means

Has been argued much here: http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=86282

Lets be glad she didn't tweet a 'couple' days

well yah i was implying wed night would be > a few

Hahhahahahahahhahaahahhahaahah


So now let's bump it to 5 which is on the safe side wrt to the link you posted.

I disagree. If I had a handful of peanuts, I would have way more than 5. I'm not sure how days can fit in your hand?

Shirley you can't be serious?

Lucy takes the football away, yet again. But, just like Charlie Brown, I will still try to kick it.

Sad as I lie on the ground wondering what happened to the ball.

Look at this hysteria that Wendeen has caused.

She says plainly that she got her info from a reputable source that knew what she was going to do with the infos. And for whatever reasons, we've still yet to have someone else confirm her report.

Here it is...


[QUOTE=NoahSD;34008445]I don't know when DF is publishing anything, but this is completely ridiculous. Nobody uses the word few to mean exactly three.

You could look it up to see that for yourself: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/few. Or you could just be incredibly obnoxious, decide to interpret her words in a way that she clearly didn't mean, and then declare that she's a liar if she doesn't live up to the words you put in her mouth.

Think about how much it must suck to be DF and read ridiculously mean and obnoxious crap like this. She's working her ass off to run a website that loses money and puts her in not-entirely-trivial legal risk to help you guys out, and *******s like you spend your time telling her that she sucks for all sorts of reasons.

I hope you don't behave this way off of the internet, and you should learn that anonymity isn't an excuse to be a huge dick.[/QUOT

"intermittent Internet and telephone connectivity during travels through the Berkshire Mountains" sums up how little people really care.

I use couple =2 and few =2-3

You guys?

still waiting for news
really, this turn of events
is not surprising


i think all non-informative posts should be written in haiku to cut down on clutter.

this is what I think. You also have to take into account intent and to say a few days would mean 2-3.

we're looking down on wayne's basement
only, that's not wayne's basement
isn't that weird?

Guys chill the f out.. it's still Monday...

few is 3+/-1

Someone may not be able to get reliable updates about the possible FTP purchase in this thread today but at least they'll have a much better idea of what "a few" means.

Just like I said Friday. Its just another Manic Monday.

You guys are really still arguing as to what a "few" means?

Are you sure....
