Platypus' Prediction Game

**Guts3d** · February 22nd, 2012, 04:46 PM

True! So true!

I predict that the next poster will be happy that NooNoo has surfaced here yet again.

**Platypus** · February 22nd, 2012, 08:21 PM

True!

I predict that the next poster either didn't know or doesn't care that it looks like the Australian Prime Minister's leadership is about to be contested in a spill.

Well, I did not know that. Do I get partial credit because I liked Walkabout and Japanese Story? Restraint?

I predict the next poster is so excited about the iPad 3 and Windows 8 that they can barely stay awake during their daily blog slog.

Half right....Ipad x meh.

I predict that the next poster will be a fan of NCIS

I had to google it.

I predict the next poster thinks that "centre" is spelled wrong.

Not at all as long as you accept waitre, paintre, latre, and computre.

I predict the next poster wonders why I even went through the trouble.

Not at all! I've been sitting here for the last 45 minutes waiting for a callback from a support droid. However, I predict the next poster is puzzled by how badly the British mangle the English language compared to us Colonials.

I've grown used to their Englandese. That and I've caught on to a lot of it due to my buddies across the pond that I game with on a regular basis. (it's amazing how much the east coast keeps in touch with Europe)

I predict the next poster has more to say on the English topic.

**NooNoo** · February 23rd, 2012, 01:22 PM

Well if that wasn't an invitation, I don't know what is!

Centre is a French spelling - along with metre, litre and so on. The verb compute is from the latin - you can look up the etymology yourself. The "er" on the end signifies the person/object who/that is doing the action...

So even the French couldn't misspell waiter as waitre because the er on the end refers to what the person is doing. Fortunately there are not that many words ending tre From what I can see, all these tre words are French in origin and brought into use in England by French Kings between 1066 and about 1500

So I guess that's True!

The next person is considering an offer of some description.

False. I've already accepted any reasonable offers I've received. In fact, I'd welcome a few more in the pipeline.

I predict the next poster looks forward to President Obama's second term with great joy!

**Guts3d** · February 23rd, 2012, 03:21 PM

Not true! I voted for the other guy...

I predict that the next poster is mulling over a new LCD or LED high def tv.

**amcfreek** · March 12th, 2012, 11:57 PM

I PREDICT THAT IF I POST HERE AND USE A SPELL CHECKER THE COMPUTER WILL FREEZE .
IT WILL THAW OUT FOR THE NEXT MILLENIUM REVOLUTION.
I PREDICT THE NEXT PERSON WILL NOT BE THE FEMALE THAT GAVE RICK Santorum HIS FEAR OF SEX

**NooNoo** · March 13th, 2012, 04:08 AM

Correct, I don't know who he is

I predict the next poster is as shocked as I am that amcfeek created a post that made sense!

False, I was pretty confused as to what was going on. Your answer cleared up that only reading the last sentence was the solution.

I predict the next poster has an affinity for twinkies.
