What is a moose

[jazzgeek]

Not in the least.. But when you incorrectly spell words for the sake of cute, that is.

This, coming from the one who consistently types "extreamley" and "Shakespear".

I don't NEED to do anything for the cute factor.. I'm just naturally adorable..


I have always had a bit of a blind spot with 'e's though..

And to think someone wasted a whole 30 seconds of their life complaning about my mooses They feel spechul!

Yes as a matter of fact I do feel special, and wasn't complaining about your "mooses" just a question, you ask many questions and answer many questions. I think you told me once it was your money and time and your snakes. So if I spent 30 seconds of my time asking a question what do you care, it's my 30 seconds??? :cheers:

First you say it's immature, then done for the sake of "cuteness".

Which is it?

FWIW, I didn't see such an uproar when Mike Blickendorfer had an avatar with a caption of "I hate meeses to pieces!". Was that immature? Done for the sake of cuteness?

Because I am Scottish, we tend to "ooo" everything eg, hoose, moose, doon, aboot etc...

I thought that was just a Canadian/North Dakota thing!! :crazy02:

^ All three of those are in the dictionary. Moose is but its referring to the animal with Antlers and hooves not the small and fury rodent. All in al its just a stupid way of referring to MICE.

 

[Quick Strike]

Umm...when I put the "^' I was referring to a different poster.

 

[simple_minded]

Really now... Whats wrong with her calling her mouse moose?

Everyone else on here call their cornsnakes corns. Take that out of context and people might think you're refering to the yellow thing on the cob.

When I used to have hamsters i always called them hammies or hams for short. I dont think it makes us stupid or immature just 'cause we change the names of what we call things.

 

[Quick Strike]

Yes but all those nick names aren't names of other animals are they? "Corns" is acceptible because its just leaving out the "snake".

I'd don't think 'moose' is cute, stupid or immature.

It's merely a coloquialism of the word 'mouse' due to the way it's pronounced with a Scottish accent. When speaking, I often use the same pronunciation myself.

I don't choose to type the word in that way on things like internet forums but don't have a problem with anyone doing so.

The question was 'what is it?'. That question has now been answered. This thread became pointless after about three posts and I'm loathe to continue it but hey .....

Personally, I find it more annoying when Americans use two letter abbreviations for states in the USA. They mean nowt (or 'nothing' before anyone asks) to me ...... :shrugs:

Oh .... and it's 'football', not 'soccer' ....

With the internet being a global community, differences in the way words are written and used are going to crop up from time to time. It's the nature of the environment, not an excuse to mount a soap box.

I'm guilty of this. I do it all the time. I never even thought about it. I never meant to annoy. *heads off to change 'location' field in profile.*

 

[sfaoldguy]

You know...I don't get it. What's the big deal if Elle wants to call her mice "moose?" It's not hurting anyone, so why does everyone keep on and on about it? And you think calling mice moose is immature.

Thank you, now I get it. It seems like such a stupid thing and could have been answered quickly, but I didn't see the relationship, so I'm slow. Telling me I type moose because I'm Scottich just didn't click. thanks

I'm trying to imagine a situation where someone knows the geography well enough to know where Connecticut is but they don't know that it's abbreviated CT. :nyah: Anyway, here they are, so just bookmark this post for reference. :grin01:

What I find funny about postal stuff is that the addresses in the UK are like 5 miles long. What's up with that? :grin01:
