Welcome to the internet.
I didn't even mean on the internet, or even on these boards. Just in general.
Well than. Welcome to the world. :)
Ahh yes, the world. The greatest place on earth.
Well damn the world!!
It smells like poo...
Feel free to list things that you all hate as well. We all know there's alot of them.
Well, in the interest of fairness, there IS a definition for common knowledge. But yeah, far too many people do throw facts around as if everyone in the fucking world should know them. IE- import game sales. You DON'T KNOW THEM? HOW DARE YOU!!
Well if it is common sense to know something, then I think that is fair enough. eg. [insert humour here]
Like it's common sense to know exactly what eg stands for. Which we all do. :)Quote:

Certain things are common knowledge, and certain things aren't. The things that aren't shouldn't be treated like they are.
Sad but true.Quote:
