Discussion of Ought 18, whereupon I found myself here, which directly preceded the Hoot Hoot Hootio Owl Slide of Ought 18.

Its too late to make "ought" happen. We had ten years and it just never took hold. I tried very hard to make it happen. Its just so cool.

Why didn't "ought" happen?

What's wrong with people????

Dude, "ought" already happened, and it happened so big that we can still use it today! My earliest recollection (gleaned through extensive reading) was the use of "ought" during the 1800s.

Mostly I like it for describing what size shotgun Hubby got for all of us for Christmas one year. We always used "ought" when talking about the guns. ;)
