me: "Are people allowed to use cellphones in here?"
help-desk guy: "No, but I'm not going to do anything."
me: "Oh. Well, there's this really annoying girl on her phone at that computer over there."
help-desk guy: "In that case, I will do something."
"You've got the 2nd sound shift here with a vengeance."
"You could ask if the laws of motion are constructed online as an object is falling."
"If language were perfect, could it be used for lying? …That's too hard."
Guy at checkout: "What is that?"
me: "That's a rutabaga."
Guy at checkout: "Uh, how do you spell that?" [fumbles through code guide]
me: "R-U-T-A-B-E-G-A"
Guy at checkout: [finds code and punches it in]
me: "What is this world coming to?"
Guy at checkout: "Well, sir, we have a lot of produce, and I don't know what it all is."
03:37:52 [me]: I want snow sooooo bad
03:37:57 [me]: though spring would be good too
03:38:05 [Laura]: word.
03:39:02 [Laura]: My left hand was off by a key, and I subsequently typed "woes" the first time i try to type "word"
06:11:54 [Aaron]: does this make sense:
06:11:55 [Aaron]: For the sake of differentiating between participants in the pre-recorded conversation (e.g. those who sat in the recording studio and conversed) and users who have downloaded and listened to the audio file via a technological media, the terms “participants” and “users” will be used throughout this paper, respectively.
06:12:48 [me]: yes, that's perfectly clear [to me]
06:13:00 [Aaron]: shit
06:13:03 [Aaron]: if it's clear to you
06:13:07 [Aaron]: then nobody else has a chance...
05:11:37 [Tristan]: and i would think that if you need to tell people to distinguish two symbols it's usually an indication that you shouldn't be :)
05:43:30 [me]: I'm matching for a timestamp
05:43:40 [me]: since people don't generally say those
05:43:47 [me]: and all the im quotes have them
05:43:48 [Tristan]: i say them all the time
05:43:52 [Tristan]: every time i'm talking, i say them
05:44:08 [me]: oh?
05:44:26 [Tristan]: yes: "bracket oh-oh colon four-four colon twenty-three close bracket tristan colon: i do it all the time"
05:44:58 [me]: hence it being for ims
05:45:10 [me]: and you don't say that
05:45:15 [Tristan]: are you sure?
05:45:20 [Tristan]: have you ever heard me speaking?
05:45:49 [me]: actually, yes, but not conversationally
05:46:05 [me]: though granted you coulda stripped those out of the the recordings I've heard
05:46:10 [Tristan]: yeah, i did
05:46:30 [Tristan]: 'cos it's a bit weird, admittedly
05:46:39 [Tristan]: i didn't want to interfere with whatever eles you're doing
05:28:39 [Tristan]: otherwise it'd just be a co-incidence
05:29:16 [me]: what's a coïncidence?
05:29:27 [Tristan]: when two incidences coincide?
05:29:34 [me]: …
