Will my boyfriend get jail time? If so is there a way around that?

[Just Blue]

Haha. Some students apparently are harder to teach than others.

Yes. Riddled with misinformation. Or is it ridden?

I believe it was around in the early to mid 70's. It was a little bit of a stretch even then.

Friday was "take-out night" when I was a kid. I was about 10 and my Mom would give me a list of what to order along with a ten dollar bill. 5 burgers, 5 fries, 5 drinks and as long as you didn't get a shake you could get an apple pie. That would have been in '75 . I always got change (coins along with bills).

You're the one who thought it a good thing to write.

What you wrote: bullet-riddled bullet-proof glass: wrong
What I wrote: Bullet-ridden bullet-proof glass: right

Still smh.

Still smh.

Why?

Nope. Wrong again.

What do you think "bullet-ridden" means?

I agree that "bullet-riddled bullet proof glass" is a stupid thing to say. So is "bullet-ridden bullet proof."

But "bullet-riddled" is the correct phrase and "bullet-ridden" is an incorrect phrase (albeit an error made by others beside you).

You can be debt-ridden or disease-ridden or guilt-ridden.

But there is no bullet-ridden.

There is riddled by bullets or bullet-riddled.

Look up the definitions of ridden and riddled.

OK:

2: excessively full of or supplied with —usually used in combination

Therefore, "bullet-ridden" would mean "full of bullets," which is what you might expect.

Several years ago I went to a KFC in what (I thought) wasn't that bad of a neighborhood They had bullet-proof glass between the employees and the customers.

Bullet-ridden bullet-proof glass?

Major Payne, I don't know how you came up with this reaction to Zig's post.

There was nothing in Zig's posts about bullet holes (bullet riddled) or bullets embedded (bullet ridden), just a statement that there was bullet proof glass.

Stop crossing double yellow lines while spritzing yourself with cologne and call it a day.

I don't have enough caffeine to see me through too many more posts like that.

I was making a joke regarding his bad neighborhood statement, asking if the bulletproof glass separating the customers from the employees (which implies it is a bad neighborhood) was also bullet-ridden (implying it's a really bad neighborhood).

Just think: Had you used the correct word, you would have been totally ignored.

Well ... no. But you can believe that if you want to.
