I do not know why, but every now and again I challenge myself to not use contractions.
There is something about them that makes me angry.
Am I alone in this thought?
-
I thought you were talking about giving birth- related contractions LOL
-
It only bothers me when people use contractions improperly, otherwise I have no problem using them myself.
-
I don't use them. You'd think everyone would wise up and stop. We'd be better off if they did. You're not going to convince me we need them.
-
Let's put an end to contractions before it's too late.
-
I do not think they are stupid. :)
-
Well ain't that 'bout a'bitch.
-
Why do you not like contractions?
-
I sort of feel like they dumb down the English language even more than it already is.
-
I'll take contractions over text speak any day.

But it started somewhere, and somewhere is contractions.

I'd say it doesn't dumb it down...you have to have a tiny bit more sophisticated understanding of the language to use them. But if you want to emulate Data, then that's cool, too.

He just wants to bang Tasha Yar.

Pfft! Who doesn't?

I never really found her very attractive.
-
I find her nearly repulsive.
-
Put a bag over her head.

I don't find her body attractive, either. At least not on Star Trek. I saw a picture of her in normal 90s clothes and she looked ridiculous because she was wearing 90s clothes but she did seem more attractive.
-
It's hard for me to find anyone attractive in TNG, as I found everyone to be pretty dull.
-
That Riker is a hot piece of man meat...
I mean....Whoopi Goldberg?

Honestly, I was mostly attracted to Beverly Crusher.

I wouldn't mind spending some time with Ensign Ro.

She's alright, but she's got weird eyebrows and that hair is awful and I don't know if I could deal with the ridges. And I prefer hoops to the sort of earrings she wears.
-

....played by Nana Visitor.
-
Not sure big on any of the main cast members of most Star Trek shows but a lot of the one of guests stars were super hot, including some actresses which later went on to do other stuff like Ashley Judd, Terri Hatcher and the chick with three boobs from Total Recall.
-
Jesus Christ. :laugh:
Ashley Judd is fucking busted now. Surgical overload! And Terri Hatcher's on her way there, too.
-
Well they're both showing signs of age but I still think Ashley Judd is decently hot. Terri Hatcher's way over the hill but she was hot as hell right through Superman. Both were younger and therefore hotter when they were on TNG, but that show is 25 years old so...
-
NIIRC, Nana Visitor played Major Kira, not Ensign Ro.

Correct. Ensign Ro was played by Michelle Forbes, whose most notable roles, at least to me, are Maryann Forester on True Blood and Admiral Helena Cain on Battlestar Galactica.
Apparently she has been in a shit-ton of stuff. Maybe turning down DS9 was a good choice for her. Nana Visitor seems to have had bit roles since her DS9 run except for some show called Wildfire, and she was on Dark Angel, but nobody noticed because Jessica Alba's lips at that time took up the entire screen.
-
I know who Nana Visitor played, it was a joke. ::)

T'wasn't a very good one.
-
Oh, come on. You know, how they wanted Michelle Forbes on DS9 but she declined so they created another female Bajoran character? mvioenbvrlbkvfb,mgf,m dammit.
-
Is that true? DS9 would have been a fuck ton better with Ro on there! I somehow found her attitude a lot more palateable when she played it then when Keira did.
Plus she's like 25x hotter, objectively. Fucking Odo man. Why's he hot for her? If I was him I'd just shapeshift into the hottest bitch and have tons of lipstick lesbian sex with all the ladies.

It is true. I think Nana is plenty bangable, but getting down with Admiral Cain does seem preferable.
-
I admittedly know little about DS9. The only reason I knew that much is because I saw the first two seasons.

:lmao: Can't unsee.
-
The only thing better than contractions are double contractions. This thread shouldn't've gone so long without someone mentioning them.
-
I can't believe I've held off this long. But I've resisted as long as I could:
"In Soviet Russia, contractions think YOU'RE stupid!"
