Can anyone tell me why you can say "at night" but "at day" isn't grammatically correct? "Night" and and a definition of "day" are absolute opposites describing units of time or periods of light or darkness so why can't they be used interchangeably? And then there's "tonight" and "today" which aren't opposites; "today" refering to the entire day and "tonight" refering to a specific time period (of darkness) within the "day." Language is stupid. Or maybe I am.

And that is my pointless post for the day. :)

Don't worry this shithole is the good type of shithole. thumbsup.gif


I don't know which kind of shitholes you lurk around, but I imagine that none are a good type. Humans, dogs, teletubbies... all shitholes are gross. You hurt my feelings, dude.


Back to the topic at hand, what do you guys like to do at day?
