    Re: The "Random Thoughts" Thread

    An exam? Even I don't really know and I went to university. In the UK your assessed throughout the year and write a dissertation at the end on many courses. My dissertation included making an album. (link in the sig war of the worlds)

              It's short for "final examination"

                I play this web game with Aussies and they have the hardest time trying to figure out what the Americans are talking about. Why is it other English speaking countries need every thing completely explained. I've noticed it a lot in these forums also.

                  I always thought "final" just makes logical sense.

                  I suppose only if they knew what you were talking about in the first place...

                    Hell, even I know what final meant, but then again it could just be the americanisation of everything here.

                      Well I understand that there will always be big difference in vernacular sometimes between English speaking countries and I don't hold it against anyone, but some things just seem obvious enough that you should be able to figure them. "Final" should be one of them. Even stevo figured it out! :p

                        It all goes back to:

                        "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement..."

                            Awww, that one is good too, but I like this one:



                            Because of the cruise ships and kangaroos, not because of the idea of Europe, which I think is very false.

                                Both essentially true.
