You have your opinion, I have mine, it’s that simple.
Of interest to wordy people, I probably should have used “umpteen”:
https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/114976/does-the-word-umpty-have-two-different-meanings
Both Merriam-Webster online dictionary and Readers English Japanese Dictionary at hand define umpty as such and such, in the same wording with an example, umpty percent of all new houses in Merriam Webster. It sounds like simply saying a certain or ‘X’ against an unidentifiable number or thing.
While both Free dictionary and Dictionary com define it as an indefinite, fairly large number in the same wording.
snip
In America we no longer use the term umpty. We do, however, use the term umpteen (or perhaps umpsteen) See dictionary.reference.com/browse/umpteen?s=t. It means simply an indefinite, but large, number.
I couldn’t agree more.
I didn’t know robbing a pharmacy was a federal crime and I bet our hero didn’t either.
The neighbors are outside barbecueing or drinking or something and raging about recent events and the POTUS.
I live right around the corner from where they gunned down the freedom fighter so after they get enough people together they will probably burn my city.
Sucks to be me.
:(
Pharmacy not far from here has plywood windows but is open for business. Inside, you can see the broken/cracked glass covered over, the miscreants didn’t succeed in getting inside and taking stuff.
Sorry to you both, I misread in a hurry and reacted
