49.5% of Americans are below standard at mathematics. And the remainder 63.7% are only marginally better.
I said Yom Shlishi
Mr British Guy is, as always, really chilled and is not chas vsholom yank bashing. I was responding to a poster (who happens to claim to be American) who said we can tell Americans by their bad grammar. I only emphasised her point by pointing out to her some grammatical errors that she had made. Big Deal! Grammatical or spelling errors do not bother me; you get immune to it nowadays even if it does. Live and let live, and if posters write right or write wrong (or to bring it up to date whether the posters who type here are your type or not your type), just learn from your great president that you can even get the year totally wrong, (by signing 2008 instead of 2011) and still (pretend to) be president.
my spelling was just fine. It was my grammar that I didn’t check correctly before I send it
I wrote that we can tell that you’re American by your spelling and lack of grammar. Spelling the USA way not the original UK way (nothing intrinsically wrong with that) but lack of grammar as pointed out above or as in “before I send it” rather than “before I sent it” which makes what you wrote incorrect even in American. (Haifagirl are you with me?)
I’m proud to be an AMERICAN!… its because we american’s dont need to prove that we dominate- (you can kind of tell just by the spelling and lack of grammar whose american and whose not
Yes we can tell you’re american by YOUR spelling and lack of grammar. “its because” should have been “it’s because” where the ‘s indicates the missing letter i. “we american’s” should have been “we americans”. “whose american and whose not” should have been “who’s american and who’s not”. Who’s is a contraction for who is or who has eg who’s that man who stood on my hat. Whose refers to something belonging to or associated with eg the man whose hat it was became angry.
After almost 250 years, you still can’t speak the language properly!!
hockaroundtheclock: so sorry but the world wide web is not an american meshigas; it was invented by a brit (like most great things), a computer scientist named tim berners-lee
There, that should upset the apple cart!

Doesnt seem as if there’s too many of them…
What do you think of this from the inspiring quotes thread:
Imagine how differently we would run our lives if we knew that we will only wake up tomorrow with the things that we had thanked Hashem for today…
Seems the mods do not want a tickled pink panther loose in the CR 🙁
Start with Obama.
Doswin you did not write any of your own but by starting this thread you imply there are many out there. And welcome to your new screenname
At the Olympics if they bring in a competition on interfering my mother in law will for sure win the top gold meddle
Interesting. I thought yiddish was only german with a little hebrew. Which other languages are mixed in? Please give examples. I suppose the word kasha, or actually kushya, is also aramaic and I did not even realise. Any others?
Police Missing Person News Bulletin: If anyone has seen a white female, approximately five and a half feet in height, answering to the name arfws, who is usually rushing about with a gleam in her eye, scissors in her hand and a husband in her wake, would they please contact their nearest precinct immediately. She has gone uncharacteristicly quiet. Even her profile has gone missing or have i typed it wrongly? http://theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/profile/always-runs-with-scissors-fast
How about giving Panther the sub “Tickled Pink”…
not more and not less, the chovos halevavos… ‘nisht mer nisht venig’ doesn’t translate well into english
How about ‘it was written by no less than the chovos halevavos’?
Agav, have you ever tried speaking Yiddish to Gerrer chassidim in Israel? They look at you as if you have fallen off the moon! (Agav, is agav Yiddish or Hebrew?)
Peeking? That’s something to do with China, right?
Lol. Actually its no longer known as Peeking. It is called Beijing now.
Dont get so worked up. If MBD is the King of Jewish music and Jo Amar is the Sultan of Jewish music then that makes Lipa the Rebbe (Rebel?) of Jewish music. Abi meleibt.
Imagine how differently we would run our lives if we knew that we will only wake up tomorrow with the things that we had thanked Hashem for today…
Blinky very sweet but you only wrote 6 of the days of the week. The one you missed out you could have called Frei day (as in a frei yid)
Abbreviations must be viewed in the context or surroundings of where it is used. So for example in the coffee room DME would stand for Dolt and Mildly Eccentric
Shticky great title again
When Hashem solves your problems, you have faith in His abilities. When He doesn’t solve your problems, He has faith in YOUR abilities!!
When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know..
But if you listen, you may learn something new
Some hold the meal must begin by shkia, some hold by half an hour before nacht, some even later. Some rebbes have their own zmanim and only begin long, long after our nacht which is why there are many photos of shaleshedis tishen.
Regarding my kasha (which is at the end of page 1 of this thread) on the pasuk and rashi in vayetzei 31,33 – the answer seems to be as follows. We say ein mukdam umuchar batorah does not apply within one pasuk but the torah is not giving us the chronological order in which lavan searched the tents but in order of chashivus. So it says “lavan went to the tent of rachel AND the tent of leah AND the amahos”. But not in that order, as proven from the remainder of the pasuk “and he went out of leah’s tent and went to rachel’s tent”, not the amahos.
Rashi was also bothered by this so he points out to us that he searched rachel for a second time BEFORE going to the amahos ie its not chronological order.
There is a Kosher Chinese restaurant in London with the fantastic name of Met Su Yan
Can any learned poster please help me with pashut peshat in a pasuk and a rashi. At the end of vayetzei (31, 33) the pasuk discusses lavan searching for his idols in the tents of yakov, rachel, leah and the two amahos (bilha and zilpa). What is the order in which he searched according to the pasuk and acc to rashi? The pasuk says first yakov’s tent (which rashi says means rachel). From here is confusing: “leah’s tent then the amahos, and he went out of leah’s tent and into rachel’s”. How could he go directly from leah’s tent into rachel’s (for rachel’s second search) if the pasuk just said that after leah’s tent he went to the amahos tents and not to rachel’s tent? (and the ramban says he only went once to leah’s tent)? And rashi is also shver to me as he writes that lavan returned to rachel’s tent BEFORE searching the amahos which again seems to be keneged the pasuk?
A Sheep without a Spleen – Welcome back! What an innovative idea!! Keep posting please. BTW I always meant to ask you, when you cant fall asleep at night what do you count?? (Please dont answer sheep with spleens…)
Artscroll’s website is completely closed for shabbos. Maybe this one should also, though I think with artscroll it could be different as they are a business so its a shaileh whether the owners can have a website open and effectively making money for them while it is shabbos for them. Here it is all voluntary. Voluntary moderators, voluntary posters, voluntary trolls, voluntary stalkers and voluntary addicts. I would presume the advertisers are in another category. But a post in from a place where it is shabbos there, if the mods can tell which country we post from, should for sure not be posted.
Do mods know where posts come from?

Look under each post. It tells you how long ago it was posted.
This is another reminder if true, and we cant get enough reminders, that we have absolutely no idea what type of person we are replying to and who’s posts we are reading. We build up mental images of posters without having any clue who they really are. Anyway Jothar, whats this “I hear from the mods” business??? See, we dont even know who is a poster and who is a mod! Yet again. It seems to be a real cozy relationship…
Tzaddiq you naughty person! So tzaddiq by name but not by nature? You must be quite a tzaddik nistar…
It still should not have taken 5-6 minutes for your sister to chap unless each person was playing with their own dreidel in which case you should have bought one for her also… with 4 shins!
Here here! Come back and come back now! Show us you are alive and have read the many many threads and posts where we show our disgust at what has happened. We’re all on your side.
ICOT: AYC may be of the chanuka gelt custom and could be opposed to chanuka presents so he may not be wanting to give us a present. So let me say: AYC, I will accept gelt off you any time, buddy!

‘The most practical car’ depends on what you want it for and where you are driving. For example, for driving on the congested M25 (London Orbital Highway) which is also known as the world’s largest car park, you are best with a stationary wagon!
Bump. There are some really informative posts on this thread and I found the OP to be especially interesting. Thanx to all above posters, some current but mostly forgotten. Please continue posting!

chofetzchaim, firstly its great to see you back here again (Dec 2011) you have the best threads and posts, especially the mishnayos puns and purim ones also. You must be one of the longest standing posters here. Please post more regularly. We need guys like you here.
The links at the end of your OP above do not work. Are you able to repair/suggest alternative? And while you are repairing links, your amazing link for searching the coffeeroom now only brings me to the regular google page. It was better before you modified it. Can you help? Thanx CC!
