Blizzard needs to fix this bullshit

If anyone had bad lag, it was me . My trust satellite decided to stop working properly mid flag running. Getting hit from them in there base, while I was in ours. Good times.

 

[Quelfep]

Curley's alright in my book. He's definitely an above average player.

I fake casted him twice in the same fight

quelf maybe my SF proced

It didn't. Look at the picture. It was a melee attack, if you can see my toon.

I live in an historic building with crappy old wiring. Even when I don't use the wireless router I have an intermittent signal. Just something I've learned to deal with.

Correcting typos on internet forums is an important job. I'm glad you've stepped up to the challenge.



The world needs more people like Hamcake.

A historic*

don't be stupid^



A quick bit of Googling reveals that — as of December 2008 — the phrase a hypothesis is used on 2.22 million pages (80%), and an hypothesis on 538,000 pages (20%). Similarly, a historic gets 70% of the popular vote, and an historic only 30%.



There is a clear preference on the web in favour of a hypothesis and a historic. Even so, a significant minority uses the other form. This supports the view that both forms are widespread. Which form you use seems to be little more than a personal preference and perhaps a matter of accent.



In summary: A historic is more common in online writing, but both usages are sufficiently common to be considered correct.



reference:

"A historic" or "an historic"?



In my own summary only fix mispellings or hard grammar rules rather than forcing your personal preference on people.

historic starts with a hard consonant sound, therefore its indefinate article is a rather than an. An is used when the preceeding word starts with a vowel sound in order to seperate the vowel sound from the a to stop it becoming distorted. Also Just because people choose to type it incorrectly doesnt make it right.

I wouldn't say you should talk.

I think we should get this thread back on track. Let me start.

 

[Grabco]

You should use “an” before a word beginning with an “H” only if the “H” is not pronounced: “an honest effort”; it’s properly “a historic event” though many sophisticated speakers somehow prefer the sound of “an historic,” so that version is not likely to get you into any real trouble.



an historic

This is true. An historic is always how I have seen it, and how I write it. Even my Simpson's comic book says so :3

 

[ArthurianKnight]

almost seems like "A historic" means one precise historic while the "an historic" seems much more like it points to a general historic without any real precision in it. beside that, i'm totally lost, my teechers always told me to put "AN" in front of vowels only !



this seems to be the exception to the rules...

true, "an historic" sounds better though.

That's because your teachers don't think you can understand the concept or they themselves don't understand the concept (could be the latter) of a word that starts with a consonant letter but begins with a vowel sound so they give you a dumbed down "rule of thumb"

Rogues and their 30yd range melee abilities...

if its a melee attack why does it look like you are getting hit by a shadow bolt (read: sf proc)?



Even if thats not the case (doesnt seem likely since SF procs dont hit for 89 damage, it is lag. And yes lag can do that.

 

[Grabco]

SF proc for 86 damage clearly not a crit?

 

[Hamcake]

Historic does not begin with a vowel sound. It only has a vowel sound when people incorrectly shove an An before it, which is solely to facilitate the An which should not be there.

 

[Eliot]

Who cares?



For help with all your grammar needs Grammar & Composition.
