Toilet? Loo? Dunny? Washroom? What do you call it?

****DANIELLE**** @VivaLaDani13 (60812) • Perth, Australia 5 Jan 23

A lot of Australians call the toilet a "Dunny." I can't say I've ever called it that. Though I'm an Aussie, I don't really speak much of the Aussie lingo / slang. What I call it varies. Depends on who I'm with and in what...

Inlemay @Inlemay (17712) • South Africa 22 Jul 16

My cats have been full of energy this morning and loved the broom activity that had them speeding up and down the passage causing total havoc with the scatter mats on the wooden floor. Picasso stops for a moment and gives a few...

Over it too? Or is it just me?!?

MegDM123 @MegDM123 (145) • United States 2 Jul 09

OK - I hope I am not the only one here who is over the intentional misspelling of words in the discussions. I have noticed that my 13 year old niece does it all the time when she texts me. I am talking about using 2day instead of...

Is it just me, or is online spelling/grammar getting worse every few weeks?

karpatzio @karpatzio (106) • Israel 23 May 09

Well, maybe not every few weeks, but it seems to be getting worse by the month (or maybe I'm just looking at more and more things). It definitely seems worse than when I first got on the net in about 1995. Maybe it's because of...

Internet Lingo Pet Peeves

slyvixen42 @slyvixen42 (926) • United States 25 Jun 08

Lingo, a scripting language! How many of you're actually familiar with it?

Freelancepreneur @LouieWpHs04 (4555) • United States 5 Oct 07

It's really quite popular, i'm suprised it seems so little people have even heard of it! If you have, why do you think it's so little-known, and do you have any other thoughts on it?
