How can there not be a date yet?

[Parallaxis]

The SNW Lower Decks crossover was released on Paramount+ the same Saturday it was screened at Comic Con, though the Lower Decks S4 premiere was screened at some panel before the regular Thursday release on Paramount+ and in that case they still waited until Thursday, so it could go either way here.

Wait seriously? You're the poster who complained about DS9 referring to Klingons and Romulans as being Alpha Quadrant powers when they are in fact from the Beta Quadrant as being sloppy and now you it's okay to say "it's right now May" when it is in fact still April?

Your idea of personal growth, I take it?

First, That wasn't really my argument, but it was sloppy. The "maps" and the onscreen dialog are completely contradictory.

Second, I didn't invent the English language. I didn't make the phrase up. I'm just using what I've been given. I mean, nobody in your entire lives have been like, "Let's wrap it up, It's right now lunchtime?" It's a pretty common phrase here in the South that means "it's almost _____." What's next, you guys don't know what "I'm fixing to do it" means?

"Let's wrap it up, It's right now lunchtime?"

Never. Not by my Southern relations or my Western friends.

This is literally the first time I've heard that phrase.

It looks grammatically wrong. So, no I've never heard it or seen it, despite reading multiple British plays, novels, and enjoy some TV shows.

And a Southern grandfather.

I've heard people say "it's lunchtime right now" when it you know is. Using right now prior to the event just looks like someone using broken English because their native language structures sentences differently.

Fixing is not used in that way over here, it's distinctly American slang. However context clues mean someone could say that to me and I would know what they mean. I'm not sure what a grits is and why someone would kiss it but again it is contextualised.

But to say one thing that means anything apart from what it means is perplexing. I believe you when you say it's used that way where you are but it's just odd I guess is the best word for it.

It would be like saying eat this pizza while it's cold when you mean eat it while it's hot.

Including the word ALMOST, if having been used, would have solved the problem before it even started.

See what happens when there's no release date? People be gettin' crazy in here.

It certainly does have people talking about it, which just might be the point.

wild stock mark fluctuations have been directly linked to Paramount + jealously guarding the release date. they're clearly short-selling and profiting off our misery.

As is so often said, "let us at this present moment leave our domicile or work cell and consume the mid-day meal: for we do not know when we will be entertained!"

For what it's worth, this is the first I've ever heard "right now" used that way.

I've always understood "right now" to mean "right this very minute," not "almost."

And I would probaby "correct" it if I was editing a manuscript that used "right now" to mean "almost," if only to avoid confusing the vast majority of readers

I think I first encountered the phrase "screwing the pooch" in the 1983 movie version of THE RIGHT STUFF, more than forty years ago.

Yes, and it's straight from the book (which, as I recall, has a chapter title, "The Unscrewable Pooch").

Ditto here.

"let us at this present moment leave our domicile or work cell and consume the mid-day meal: for we do not know when we will be entertained!"

Now that is a sentence I hear and say regularly.

Now, if you'll excuse me, at this present moment I must leave my domicile and ride a public transit vehicle.

I look forward to hearing how it went right now later

Really? Where? Sounds more in the vein of the old George Carlin bit about sentences you don't hear (e.g., "Please saw my legs off" or "hand me that piano").

Just wait till afterwards for some real crazy. I'm talking worse than musical and cartoon crossover crazy!!!!!!

No release = Blue Ball Trek?

I was joking.

It was an adequate outing I had for a duration of a few time intervals know as hours I had during the post meridiem period right now earlier.

It's May now!

If I recall correctly, grits are a wheat substance similar to oatmeal.

Never in my life. I say that as a person who’s taught English at a university level for 17 years.
