I mean, in fairness, we are quibbling over spelling and grammar on a board which is a fan-site for an NBA team. The NBA, that is, the league which has official games commentated on by people who can't even pronounce the name of a 2x MVP and DPOY. Fidelity to language has never been a requirement.

Preserving the English language is important, no matter the medium

It's ironic how irate Mac is getting about spelling Redick correctly, when every second Tweet of his has a spelling error, because of the failure to proof read

Nothing about what you just said is correct

"I pissed myself" refers to slang meaning I laughed so hard I wet my pants

It means you laugh super hard and urinate on your person without choice

Lol I know what it means man. My point still stands.

I'm just mad people keep putting cilantro on everything.

Lmaooo

"I pissed myself" is the same as saying "I wet myself"

No one says "I wet on myself"

I'm not a prescriptivist when it comes to language. The idea of preserving a language seems kind of flawed to me, inherently; the French Academy has the wrong idea imo.

In my experience, "pissed" gets used differently in America, Britain, and Australia (for the sake of argument, we'll pretend Australia actually exists for a bit).

Translation differences?

Well, in phantom Ostraya, the verb "pissed" can either mean to be really drunk or to take a leak
