There is no grammatical in either or , but there are a whopping 39 verb suffixes in Cantonese, including 15 markers. In contrast, Mandarin has 3 aspect-marking verb suffixes. For reference: there are 4 aspects in English, of which 3 are marked.

一樣,冇 (tense),但係會用 表示 (aspect,類似英文嘅進行式、完成式)。

華語只有3種動詞後綴:了、著、過
廣東話就有39種動詞後綴,包括 15 種「體」:咗、過、落(實現體)、定、緊、吓、住、實、生晒、衡晒、起上嚟、起、得、落(開始體)、開

VOICEMAIL: Hi, Avi? This is Dave again? Playing stupid didn't work, so now we told them to fuck off. The head suit is very mad at us. He called me out. We had a really discussion in the McDonald's across the street. He says that I am being stupid. The McD's mgr asked us to leave because we're disrupting some children's . I acted scared & told [the head suit] that I'd go in and look at removing . Instead, I am calling you. Please call me? Good-bye.

.
Just had an with someone I've back at previously at least a few times.
Apparently my light-hearted joke was taken as a potential attack.
Why? ? Why? Why is it that we have ourselves , and by ourselves I mean almost on the to so far into digital "Cabin Fever" that a light-hearted joke is seen as a possible ?
When did we decide that being ready for the VERY low fucking percentage of who actually wish to do us harm means CREATING MORE by not being open to a simple hello?
Another example of this...
Before at an Outlet Mall I was walking with my into a , and saw a walking to a different store. They crossed in front of us.
One of the couple was wearing some really cute/cool dangle X-Mas . I may have been staring, but only because the earrings looked cool to me. I could feel them up and "hide" from me looking. As they crossed close enough, I said, "Cool earrings!" to them, loud enough that they could hear it.
They turned around a few seconds later and said, "Thanks!".
Their initial instinct was to I was out of .
Why?
Yes, there's , but hiding yourself away from the vast majority of people who will take you as you are, and even them only makes it seem worse than it really is.
They WERE cool earrings (and I wanted to see them in more detail!)
There WAS an option missing on that poll (and I was injecting humor regarding that missing option!)
If you push the people away, you will only have the left to deal with, which self-fulfills your view that everyone's out to get you - and we're not.
Fucking stop it.

Most readers get as far as the Future Semiconditionally Modified Subinverted Plagal Past Subjunctive Intentional before giving up;
... To resume:
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is one of the most extraordinary ventures in the entire history of catering. It is built on the fragmented remains of an eventually ruined planet which is (wioll haven be) enclosed in a vast time bubble and projected forward in time to the precise moment of the End of the Universe. This is, many would say, impossible. In it, guests take (willan on-take) their places at table and eat (willan on-eat) sumptuous meals while watching (willing watchen) the whole of creation explode around them.

say funny stuff about . For example:
““Everything” should be read as expressing exactly the universal quantifier of classical first-order predicate logic … [which is] neither “tensed” nor “tenseless”… [Quantifiers] are not verbs.”
Is it not the case that first-order logic is tenseless for the mundane reason that it is insensitive to ? What am I missing?

I almost exclusively use movie and TV scores for , letting it play through, and simply adjusting the volume up or down to affect the impact on the scene, or I guide the scene to match the score.

Reasons I do this:
1. I don't want to play DJ while I'm juggling everything else.
2. The audio and production quality is unrivaled.

Here are a couple , , and scores the I like.
