very short question

[admedia]

Did you mean: after all ?

[luvenny]

Please upgrade your google. I can search 'afterall' fine here with google...

Results 1 - 10 of about 672,000 for afterall. (0.56 seconds)

so, whatnot without a space and after all with a space?

why english is so confusing!

same here, it's going to return results, but it is also going to try and correct you as I posted above.

whatnot
after all

Nope, it didn't try to correct me here... oh well.

but dictionary.com did corrected me to use 'after all'

i guess i'll stick with that for awhile..

[Frets]

Gerbs you hit on a pet peeve of mine as well
I hear irregardless all the time and I cringe.

[Ultima Designs]

which one is correct:
1. what not or whatnot?
2. after all or afterall?

trust me, i tried google...

1. Neither: what-not is most proper.
2. After all.

honestly, how could you think that after all was one word? It shouldn't be used at the end of a sentence. "well this is what happend after all"... If anything is should be "After all that occured this is what happened"...that's why this isn't one word, you can't just squish a hold bunch of stuff in by thinking that after all should belong in the place where most people use it in vocalizing sentences.

And "WHATNOT"...WTF? I've always hated that word, it's just another form of "um" or "whatever" in slang. ...."I went to the store and whatnot, then i went to your momma's house and whatnot"....I've pissed a few people off in college by calling them out on it and that they sound like ignorant asses when they use it. Why the F do you use Whatnot? It's a bullS&@% word and only screws up the real english language that our youth should be speaking (aside from the brits old english)

[gerbick]

don't ever hang around me then... you'd explode at the sheer amount of times I use that word when I'm describing non-technical stuff.

[admedia]

I'm a fan of etc..

and ... of course

ermm i thought those two after all's that you mentioned are purposely have different meanings?

and i thought whatnot means different thing rather than the one you mentioned? i thought whatnot is etc...

[luvenny]

and how about 'methinks'? is that a valid word too? cause dictionary.com say so.

and you guys hate it too?

[gerbick]

you'll rarely find a yank saying methinks. not unless I've had a bit too much rum and start thinking I'm a pirate.

again.

[luvenny]

another one.

moreso! though after some search it should be spelled more so. but dictionary.com denied both!

so is that english or what?

[gerbick]

even though I use it a lot, moreso... it's incorrect English. I've never used it in an important paper, document, or letter.

online, IM... you'll get moreso from me in a second.

online, IM... you'll get moreso from me in a second.

And even moreso, you get the weirdest stories ever. Oh GOD THOSE STORIES ARE WEIRD. MY POOR TAINTED BRAIN.
