Ask the All Purpose Fox - The Next Generation!

difference between a "catboy" and a "male catgirl?"  Is there any?

One's pretty. The other isn't.

... which is which?

and does whether one likes boys have any effect on this?

Does one really need to know?

Maybe a little, but I'd think that it'd be further left-field.

One's pretty. The other isn't.

I would totally never answer a question.

Having said that, wouldn't a "male catgirl" merely be a catgirl who's turned male?
While a catboy would be all-natural male?

And can't they both be pretty? All three of them even?

Sounds like being an actual androgyne.

Makes sense.

I'd say that depends on how strange you like stuff.

to all APF's have you ever written a fan fiction?

Not a fanfic, but I've recently attempted to start writing a story. It's crawling about as slowly as a snail in the desert.

[Eibborn]

I feel like having tea, can I have some?
Why is it that people sign up for forums only to never post beyond their intro thread?
Which box is the best box?
Is there such a thing as "normal?"
Can one answer their own question in this thread?

I'M ON IT!
*Chucks a delicate china teacup at you, followed quickly by a teapot*

Possibly they find the people less friendly than they hoped? 

I'm contractually obliged to answer Llearch.

Yes. But no one knows what it is.

Yes.

[Gabi]

Funny, I came to this thread thinking of asking for tea and someone else has already done it. Can I have some too, please?

[Kenji]

Of course you can! But you have to promise not to turn it into a baby.

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

What, you don't want little Gabi's running around everywhere?

The only thing might be... it would be odd for Tea to be Gabi's baby, wouldn't it?

[Drake Manaweilder]

Why is my mouth always faster than my mind?

Why didn't I realize school was closed until I was over half way there?

What is the square root of pie?

Little Gabis would be cute.  Full sized Gabis are much cuter.

The tea isn't the baby, the tea becomes the baby.  The tea as it don't really cease to exist as much as it is now and always has been a baby.

It is like what I told my students, "You may come in tomorrow if you really want to.  I won't be here.  If you try and enter the class room the only people who will greet you are public security, who will haul you away because you tripped the alarm.

toaster pastries.

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

Shadesfox has never met Tea, has he?

*snickers*

[Gabi]

Oh, yes, he has.

[e_voyager]

does  this thread make more sense when won is lacking sleep?

[Eibborn]

No. Won is always totally confused by us, partly because, well, we're us and partly because she only knows Korean.

[ShadesFox]

Poor Won, we should help him.  Thus, I am starting a donation drive for Won.  The, "Make Won full of less suck and fail and replace it with delicious candy", donation drive.  This drive won't actually give any money to Won.  I'm just going to use it to buy booze and pizza.  Maybe some candy.  Hey Gabi, Azy, want some candy?

[Roureem Egas]

Shades, save me a Kitkat plz.

[Kenji]

Shades, save me a Kitkat plz.

Hey! I'm not part of that deal! </inside joke>

[e_voyager]

did i really type that?
how much sleep does one need to miss before becoming sleep deprived?
why does everyone one here seem to know Won?

[xHaZxMaTx]

Who doesn't know Won?

[Gabi]

Sure. Thanks!

Yes, so it would seem.
It depends. In any case you realize when you start feeling the effects.
Because Won is very popular.

Who doesn't know Won?

Someone who has never won anything.

If I were to be a fox, could I be of the AP variety?
Like, is it a default or do you have to go through some tests first.

Technically... itsn't xHaZxMaTx a fox then? (or is this how he got away with his "rhetorical question", ie-answer?)

Soap?

[xHaZxMaTx]

When did I ask a '"rhetorical question", ie-answer'?

There is a test. We give it to forumites when we need to fill new positions.

He's a fox, but not all purpose. He just asked who didn't know Won and got a reply.

I think she was referring to this one.

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

ah, so then it might have been viewed as more of a rhetorical/answer, had he of put emphasis on one particular word?
Which word might that be?

How is it then, that Gabi can seem to give the most valid information of all?
Certainly others do from time to time, and Gabi has been one for the sillies, but she is more consistantly so 'serious'.

<parser>Syntax error: you have an error in your English syntax at or near "of put emphasis on one particular word" in "ah, so then it might have been viewed as more of a rhetorical/answer, had he of put emphasis on one particular word?"</parser>

"Doesn't", maybe. That might have made it look more like an answer.

It must be a personality thing. We can all be serious or silly, but some lean more towards one and some towards the other. I often post the first answer that comes to my mind. It just so happens to be a serious answer more often than not. Then again, if the question is rhetorical or has poor grammar, it's not likely to get a serious answer from me. Not that a good serious question is guaranteed to get a valid answer either, but in my case it has a better chance of getting one.

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

Was that really wrong? I honestly considered the pros and cons of my word choice, and wound up settling with the 'of'. Would "have" have been better? It is one wording set which always baffles me.

Might I attribute your opulent grammatical prowess to second-language?
OR, are you just that awesome?


(funny format though, )

I personally can't see how "of" would have made any sense in that question or possible rewordings. Maybe it's because I poked myself in the hand again after 14 or so years, though. "...had he have put emphasis..." doesn't sound grammatically correct to me either.

I think Gabi's just that awesome, but wait and see what she says for herself.

[Eibborn]

"Have," seems correct to me. I'd say that the use of the word 'of' comes from people slurring over 'have,' and never really existed grammatically anyway.


...Did that make sense? I've rewritten it a few times, and none of them seem perfectly clear.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Shouldn't the 'have/of' be gotten rid of altogether (in that sentence), so that it reads, "...had he put emphasis on one particular word?"

[e_voyager]

Gabi is a teacher. my question is

Do any of the other AP's have similar positions in society?
when you teach do you emphasize you own beliefs how ever unintential?
and did you know that gum is on sale ten packs for a dollar?

[ShadesFox]

I am going to leave the grammar debate to those who know grammar.  At least better then I do...

I teach as well.  4 classes of 25 folk each.  Expanding the AP Army, one semester of 100 at at time.
Yes.  I try not to beat down them with a sledge hammer, it is more like, "Do a Google search for your email address.  See what comes up?  Now, imagine you are applying for a job.  Would you want your potential employer to see that?  No?  Get a new email address to use on your resume."
Did not know that.  If I had any interest in gum I would take advantage of that.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Did you do that purposefully?
Am I going to get hurt for pointing that out if you didn't do it prposefully?

It was intentional, and what makes you think I won't hurt you anyways?
