Anyone else ever heard someone refer to it as “Denna”? I did once and I just let it go. I wanted to see if it catches on in the wild.
What about denna?
D 'n A
DnF’nA
DFWTDNA
(don’t fuck with the dna)
Douglas Adams’ middle name was “Noel”, not “and”.
It begins…
(But it’d be bad satire to repeat the joke)
The depth to which he has gone to illustrate what a simple /whoosh would a done is part of the sad tire no?
After saving I’d like a quickload. Did too much bad shit
This whole time i thought it was dioxy rizzz o nuke-in-your anus
DNA is AND when you reverse it.
And?
Yes.
Wait, I think we’re improvising wrong.
This makes way more sense than RNA
I don’t know what y’all are talking about. Personally, I enjoy Tits Nucleic Ass.
Pretty sure it’s Dinosaurs, Nucleaics & Acid.
I thought it was the three branches of science? Dinosaurs, Nukes and Aerodynamics?
Science jargon has always sounded so impressive until I took anatomy.
for example, the big hole in the bottom of your skull (where the spinal chord passes through) is called the “foramen magnum” which is Latin for ‘big hole’.
Unlike the cowards who hide their stupid names with latin, computer scientists will straight up call something a ‘fat pointer’.
I recently learned that mastodon (the animal) literally means breast tooth, because some thought their teeth (or tusks?) looked, well, breasty?
Get this. You have a structure in your brain called the “mammillary bodies”. It’s because it looks like a pair of tits.
Is it jargon or just a different language
Scientists use one to pretend the other
You gotta mix Greek and Latin to make it sound
cool.
“God safe us” - irony right there especially when critical of someone else’s use of an acronym perhaps one’s own grasp of the English language should be a little better!!!
God save us ….
The amount of grammatical mistakes in your own comment is pretty ironic as well.
Muphry’s Law strikes again.
Well then use this as a teaching moment and elaborate then?
I live in a country that uses the King’s English, not the American version so please enlighten me - I do enjoy learning.
But don’t say there are an amount of errors without even trying to quantify them….given the burden of proof rests with you.
Fair enough, let’s have at it, Mr. “King’s English”. (God, do you even hear how insufferably pretentious that sounds?)
Let’s start with the original comment. My edits in [brackets].
“God safe us” - [the] irony right there[… something? “is funny”? What about the irony? You have to finish the thought.][missing comma] especially when critical of someone else’s use of an acronym[comma] perhaps one’s own grasp of the English language should be a little better!!! [Overuse of exclamation points, although one could argue the level of severity in the contents of your message…]
God save us …. [space between “us” and the ellipsis"; and an extra period after the ellipsis]
Next comment!
Well then[missing comma] use this as a teaching moment and elaborate[missing comma; also another “then”? Then then then then.] then?
I live in a country that uses the King’s English[pretentious af but nothing wrong here], not the American version[missing comma] so please enlighten me - [hyphen instead of en dash] I do enjoy learning. [Good, you’re learning right now.]
But don’t say there are [“is an amount”, probably? I don’t know what the King says, but that’s what I would say] an amount of errors without even trying to quantify them….given [again, ellipsis with an extra period; also the weird use of an ellipsis here – it should be a comma] the burden of proof rests with you.
Did you learn something?
Isn’t the first mistake simply him using the sentence to declare there is irony? How is that an incomplete sentence?
Could you clarify? Do you mean to say it’s incomplete or actually complete?
I meant to say that part is already a complete sentence.
Now, I’m not as much of a grammar nerd as I’d like to be, but from what I understand, “irony right there” isn’t a complete sentence, or barely even a complete clause. It’s just a few words that should be part of a clause.
Maybe someone could fill in the grammatical details here, or prove me wrong.
“God safe us” - [the] irony right there[… something? “is funny”? What about the irony? You have to finish the thought.]
That clause was fine up to the missing commas. He’s pointing at the phrase and saying that’s irony right there. Perhaps you’re unfamiliar with that structure. I don’t think it’s common in all Englishes
[hyphen instead of en dash]
That’s pedantic. Nearly no one uses en and em dashes; if they’re typing on a physical keyboard those dashes are hard to type
Perhaps you’re unfamiliar with that structure. I don’t think it’s common in all Englishes
I am, but it’s grammatically insufficient. Idiomatically/colloquially/slang wise, it’s fine. I understood enough to know what they mean, obviously.
That’s pedantic. Nearly no one uses en and em dashes;
Of course it’s pedantic. I’m going out of my way to be pedantic to show this grammar snob what it feels like to throw the first stone.
if they’re typing on a physical keyboard those dashes are hard to type
Skill issue. If they care enough, it’s easy to find out how. 🤷♂️ I use them all the time.
Thanks for joining the fun!

Care to elaborate? I may have missed a comma here or there, but what else was wrong?
I mean your own spelling is rather atrocious - especially when devices tend to have a spell check; “Muphry”? Is he a distant cousin of Murphy perchance?
Oh and I use the Kings English here in my country, not “US English” ……
Oh my word, this was embarrassing for you. 😂 My spelling was absolutely perfect, you shmuck. No wonder you deleted it before I even saw the reply in my inbox.
Hardly embarrassing - you don’t seem to understand light hearted banter clearly….yes I was playing on Murphy/Muphry.
Geez straight to name calling though - classy 🙄
Have a nice life.
You’re right. The schmuck name calling was perhaps a bit harsh on you.
You were “playing” on Murphy/Muphry? What does that mean? It seems like you just didn’t know Muphry’s Law was a thing, and you tried to hang me for “misspelling” it, then you realized what it is and deleted the comment. But maybe I’m just assuming. 🤷♂️
I don’t know if you’re bantering, perhaps you are. I just have a hobby of shitting on people’s grammar that complain about other people’s grammar. It’s this Robin Hood type of feeling I get. I’m probably sick or something.
Take care!
Excuse me, it’s Muphry’s Theory. It hasn’t been proven enough to be a scientific law.
😆👌 fair enough
I dont believe in Muphies Theory cause uts just a theory. I’ve done my own research and u ahoukd to.
Hehe I remember Muphies. That Kermit always got up to shenanigans!
Menzies’es Pretty Solid Hunch
I’m sure this comment can’t go wromg.
There’s no formal rule, but adjectives can function as verbs in day to day English. <Subject> <adjective> <object> can mean the same thing as <subject> make <object> <adjective>.
However, we all know she made a typo while criticising someone else’s understanding of words
Aka chrolling for clickbate.
May god shave us all.
Shave my wife, I’m goin’ down for the last time!
Up yours Trebek!
Whoooosh
“I DiD My OwN ReSeArCh! There’s a meme about it!”
Just like in TNA, I reckon. Stay in school.
