Obviously BLAMING society FOR the misconception. Attributing to society the fact that there is a misconception, not necessarily not blaming the models as well (Chicken or the egg?) I assert we should blame both. Thought the former would be inferred...

Yeesh, you should try law instead of pharmacy.

Sorry, I don't make an ass out of you and me whenever I can help it. 🙂 Clarified: if you didn't have "blame" in your sentence, you weren't blaming them, only pointing it out (noticing it) that it was a misconception on society's part.

I thought about law one day but I figured it'd be more fun to nit pick doctors and pharmacists on their penmanship and English.

Hey at the end of the day, I'm just a dumb grunt.

One too many mTBI's, probably.

Although I really did think it was inferred from the sentence. Ah well, I suppose I can stand correct on this one.

To be fair, however, it isn't our society we'd be blaming. The "emaciated is hot" acculturation started at the end of the Victorian era. But, I guess that's off-topic and not really cogent to my ass being corrected.

Lol, I'm sure lawyers LOVE to pick on people who assume. Probably the easiest thing to point out and make the defendant look bad in the eyes of the jury.

I guess so but that doesn't mean society is excused from the blame if they actively participate in the act.

Alright, so this is the way I see it.

A guy is speeding on the freeway. This is an observation, indeed, however I am also blaming him for speeding. It's a tacit assumption, not just any old assumption. How am I wrong here? I am definitely not blaming the car for making the guy speed.

And no one is excusing society, least of all, me.

You're not wrong there. But that example is different from what you said.

"We have such a misconception in society about what makes a girl "hot" these days. Blame all the 75 pound models... "

Clearly you point out that the idea of what makes a female attractive is a misconception on society's behalf. But what is different compared to your example is that you then go on to clarify and say "blame all of the 75 pound models".

Had you just said "We have such a misconception in society about what makes a girl 'hot' these days.", it would have been assumed you're blaming society for that misconception.

Edit: To clarify if you said "blame all of the 75 pound models and society", I wouldn't have been able to say what I said in the first place. Specificity. Just like how it's with genies and wishes. 🙂

And no one is excusing society, least of all, me.

I know.

 

[Passion4Sci]

So I should have said,

"We have such a misconception in society about what makes a girl "hot" these days. Blame all of the 75 pound models and society."?

TO me, again, that seems excruciatingly redundant, which I have noticed that you English mongers love to nitpick on (I am married to one).

It seems implied, thus needing to be inferred by the reader, that the antecedent clause, "We have such a misconception..." is placing blame on society for what we think is "hot", additionally blaming the models in the latter clause. I see it as a two-way street, blame on both, and I definitely should've conveyed that actively instead of passively.

So glad I never, ever have to take another English class again.

True, it is redundent. It is more correct to just simply say "We have such a misconception in society about what makes a girl 'hot' these days. I also blame all of the 75 pound models." That is if you wanted to blame the 75 pound models in addition to society.

The fact that you left off "I also" translates your first statement into just a pure observation while you then proceed to place the blame on just the 75 pound models. Trust me, English has a lot more rules that even some of us don't agree with. =P But that's English.

 

[Passion4Sci]

Oh yeah, I know English is full of many pitfalls, I hear about it all the time.

I prefer Farsi... very straight forward.

I should have specified that I meant miami beach, where the only obese are the toruists, and sometimes the girls at Purdy Lounge for some reason. There was hardly a time I would go to the publix grocery on west ave and not see multiple women that would drop jaws anywhere else in the country. Try that at any other grocery store at any random time of day, not happening. The urban sprawl is another story, rice and beans will do that 🙂

LOL I've never been to Purdy Lounge except once to pick someone up outside. I used to go to the beach a lott my first two years in college but it got kind of old after that. I've never really lived outside of south Florida so I have nothing else to compare it to, but hopefully I will be leaving for pharmacy school sometime in the future

Just outta curiousity.. why does it matter if she rehearsed it or not?

Its not like shes going to get a fine 😛

(Unless its a fine for being so fine..heh corny I know 🙄)

I think they wanted to see if that was her natural talent in interviewing/giving speech skills.

i only mentioned it because someone else brought it up and i was trying to add to the conversation based on my having lived many places. it's really not relevant at all and if i was single i would hit it sober, no complaints, she's sorta cute, just depends what you get used to seeing every day 🙂

There was a commercial about something like that where cute girls don't think they're attractive because of all the supermodels today. I think it was a commercial for Dove.

Did anyone else notice the title of this post is spelled wrong??


rehearsed

Hail Grammar Nazi. 🤣

Yeah and I also think that attractiveness is not really where you are from but what you are used to.

I used to travel a lot and I really believe that there are attractive people everywhere. I've been to the NE (NY and CT), I've been to Washington DC, all over the south, the mid west (Kansas and MO), Europe, central America, etc and there are good looking people everywhere.

I guess that's why it's a pet peeve of mine when people are like omg Miami and Cali! LOL

Yeah... in Miami people are usually tan (not just from the sun but a lot of us are Latin so yeah we are darker) and it is hot so we normally aren't bundled up and some people do put an emphasis on being in shape because of the beach, but that doesn't mean being really thin and tan is what everyone likes. In old Europe, being thin and tan meant that you did manual labor and all of the royalty aspired to be heavier and very fair skinned. Also... a couple friends of mine went to Sweden to teach a cheerleading camp and they all had dark features, brown/black hair, brown eyes, tan/brown skin, etc and they said that everyone was fascinated by their looks because everyone in Sweden is usually fair. Sometimes people think beautiful is someone who looks exotic and different and sometimes people prefer those who look similar to them.



This always happens when CrazyBob starts talking about pretty girls!!! LOL
