Sleep deprevation much?

Apr 11, 2005 21:01

As of 29 minutes from now I will have had 30 minutes of sleep in the past 24 hours. So for all intents and purposes, I have been awake for 23 and a half hours. And I swear to god if anyone wakes me up before 8:30 tomorrow morning... I will kill you. Kill you twice dead ( Read more... )

uhh.. i think you're backwards. i think it's really 'intents and purposes,' and crazy people say intensive purposes.

ah... i've always been told i was wrong... oh well... in any case, I'm sleepy... hehehe :)

well, now you know you were right :)

and to back myself up, google gives 465,000 hits for "all intents and purposes" but only 18,500 hits for "all intensive purposes." :D

hahah it SO is "for all intensive purposes" because it's like for even the most extreme purposes, or for all the most relevant purposes. google lies. DEVIL-GOOGLE! DEVIL-GOOGLE!

*cough* hi craig. bye craig.

that doesn't even make sense. it's supposed to mean "for any purpose that matters." intensive purposes would mean that it were only true in extreme cases.. which isn't how it's used.

also: http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/50118705 scroll down. first use was in 1546.

Hi Craig, it's Sarah. Just thought I'd say hey and say that yes, sleep deprivation sucks! It's sucks like none other! Especially when you have a monster physcis test in the morning! ....okay, I'm barely speaking coherently, I just thought I'd say hey and I miss you!!!! :)
