That to the left of people's usernames in their post, when the little fella icon is colored it means they're online? And when it's black and white they ain't there?
 Sad to say I'm often very slow on the uptake of things.. Is there anything really big that you've been slow on? They usually make for a pretty funny story

They usually make for a pretty funny story i was wondering that last night! i was gonna make a post then i was like maybe it's 'cause they're offline/online and i just went to a topic and viewed their subprofiles so i figured it out.  i still don't know what the little orange boxes beside some of the topics are for, though. i can't figure it out.

Damn, this thread doesn't make me feel all that stupid anymore.
 Just last year, I thought the word "acorns" was pronounced and spelled as "eggcorns"...so I would always say "eggcorns" instead of "acorns"

Hmm, this isn't so much a "DUH" realization, but it's more of a, "What the hell? I've lived in America for most of my life, and I never knew this" that I just found out a few months ago.
A lot of Americans cook their food using microwaves and call it a night. I'm sure they use a pot once in a while, but a majority of them prepare food by pushing a few buttons. So, so sad. |

I thought when my folks used to say to mini-Majere "We're having a lie-in tomorrow" that we were having a "lion tomorrow". Sigh. Always disappointed.

I react like that to so many warning labels, road signs and advertisements in today's society. For example, I remember reading a warning label on a baby's stroller and it said, "Remove infant before folding."
