Youtube is experimenting/doing something with HTML5 and any video which is using that HTML5 thingy is really really annoying. It's load times are horrendously ridiculous and it breaks down quite often. *sigh*

I hate it when I come back in a thread I commented on earlier and realize that :

I ward leak that unis the wrung worlds such date may phase is unreadable.
I started rewrote part of a sentence that I and I left random bit of the words phrase I should have deleted.
I wrote random words words in double for no no apparent reason.

I really should take the habit of rereading everything I write before pressing on "post".

Exactly. But now I'm curious. Can you guess what the corrected sentence would be? :3

froody1911 · « **Reply #9389 on:** July 20, 2013, 02:28:14 AM »

"...the wrong words such that my phrase is unreadable". It's the bit before that I can't figure out.

"I write like that using..."

megido-rev.M · « **Reply #9391 on:** July 20, 2013, 02:50:22 AM »

Then "that" appears twice...

Is it not allowed in English to write "that" twice in the same sentence?

megido-rev.M · « **Reply #9393 on:** July 20, 2013, 03:00:22 AM »

No, but it can get confusing.

No that's allowed.
But apart from that, the correct way would be "I write like this using the wrong words such that my phrase is unreadable", because you're referring to the current sentence itself.

Not if they are used in a very different way. Using "that" in the same way as "this" is very different than to use in it to introduce a verb. In French, I wouldn't even be using the same word.

@froody1911 I guess it is true.

Slow drivers who are in the middle of the road, and you have very little space/no space to overtake them. Also for those who enter main roads without even looking.

Was in this kind of situation this early morning. Since the road was all free and early in the morning, I was going full out on my bike when a old man decides to enter the main road with no warning (since I was going full out on my bike, you could clearly hear it no matter how deaf you are, so yeah his fault) and also makes sure he comes up on the high speed lane I am on and remains that super slow there.

Seriously, when the hell are you gonna learn how to drive.
