Jesus, you're worse than an old woman. He misspelled the word villain dipshit!!!

he didn't misspell villain. he misspelled villanize. your attempt at correcting him misspelled the word, too. though it's going to be difficult for you to understand, some elongated words find the spellings of the roots altered.

of course it breaks the tie! let's imagine that ohio state plays michigan two times in one season, and then both teams meet in a bowl game. yes, it will never happen, but this is just a hypothetical consideration. ohio state wins the first but does not win the second. now the two schools play a bowl game for a tiebreaker. unsurprisingly, ohio state wins the tiebreaker. according to you, however, ohio state would not have won the tiebreaker because ohio state did not win the second game.

I believe he was getting at this point: Before the bowl game, someone could say that the series is tied over the last two games and that OSU is looking to break that tie. However, once they win the bowl game, the series is still tied over the last two games.

Right now, the series is tied over the last 50 years (1955-2004). When OSU wins, they will be 25-24-2 over the last 51 years (1955-2005), not over the last 50 years. Over the last 50 years (1956-2005), they will still be 24-24-2.

p.s. JXC, your Christopher Walken SNL was on E! last night. Freakin' hilarious!

p.p.s. :scum4:

Dude,
Are you blind, the guy spelled villain, this way "villian."

In none of your above spellings do I see "villian."

It is villain. But it is not villainize. Every source I've seen has it villanize.

Liquid crap on cracker...can't we just say demonize or vilify or something? Fuck.

I just showedt he merriam-webster spelling earlier.

If it is not spelled the way I say, type in villainize and if it is not spelled that way then there should be no sources who spell it that way.
