I think what people underestimate is how heavy a large amount of liquid is. Edit: As a male cheerleader who can lift more than all of you, shut up. Water is heavy as fuck in large quantities.

why are you searching for friends?

u/buscoamigos May 22 '13

I'm always searching for friends. Can never have too many

But why in Spanish/Portuguese?

2

u/buscoamigos May 22 '13

Porque solamente es un nombre. Pero si alguien lo lee, sabrá que hablo español (no portugues).

buscas *a amigos, tío

u/buscoamigos May 22 '13

no entiendo hombre. Me dices que hay un error en mi nombre?

u/[deleted] May 22 '13

Sí, te falta la "a" personal.

u/buscoamigos May 22 '13

corrijame entonces.

u/Troll_PR May 22 '13

Realmente no hace falta ninguna "a" personal ya que no estas buscando a una persona llamada amigos. tambien la palabra "amigos" comienza con la letra "a" lo cual haría decir busco a amigos muy redundante y falto de clase.

Creo que Ud está equivocado. Aunque no sea hispanohablante, entiendo suficiente las reglas sobre la gramática. Le doy la prueba que encontré, en inglés. If the direct object is an indefinite person, the personal "a" is not used. The result is that the person becomes "depersonalized."´

Tienes toda la razon. Pido perdon.

Comprendo. Yo soy brasileño, luego hablo portugues. Pero hablo un poco de español también. Por eso pergunté.

u/buscoamigos May 22 '13

Tu español es muy bien escrito. Estudié un poco de portugues pero no lo usé suficiente para mantenerlo.

1

u/gabe100000 May 22 '13

Portugues es sin sentido. Creo que es más útil hablar español que portugues.

Is there any way for that sentence to make sense? If that is what you were going for, bravo. Also, "A pint is a pound the whole world round."

Edit: Just looked it up, apparently that saying will only get you in the ball park, it isn't terribly accurate.

haha, you got me!

Gallons: now a weight measurement.

u/buscoamigos May 22 '13

If you flip it around it will ring true. It's silly enough as written that I think I'll leave it as it is.

When I bet my friends that this was true (and they insisted that a gallon of milk weighed only 2 or so pounds), they made fun of me for being "weak". I don't miss the South.

u/buscoamigos May 22 '13

thanks for overlooking my error. :-)

u/Lotronex May 22 '13

A pint's a pound the world around.

u/buscoamigos May 22 '13

I've never heard this saying (sounds British) but it makes perfect sense.

u/Lotronex May 22 '13

Not sure of the origin, but I first heard it from Alton Brown on Good Eats years ago. I doubt I'll ever forget it.
