I asked this question last year, but I never got a decent response, so here it goes again...

What moron decided to drop the "H" & why do certain people believe that they sound so intelligent when they do?!!!
Let me explain...
-This is a new phenomenon. I would say that the trend caught on a few years ago.-
I used to hear this more frequently on AM radio & news broadcasts/documentaries,etc., but now it's everywhere!
EXAMPLES:
When people are talking, they will say "youge" instead of huge, "youman" instead of human, etc.
It sounds so stupid!!! People have been pronouncing the H for a long time & now they're not.

What's up with that & who decided to change the rules?

Im 19 and i have ocd. I have noticed lately that it is getting a little worse. There was a time for a few years where i hardly ever though about it or let it affect my life. I also told my best friend late last year about it. So i guess now it is somewhat more real now that someone knows about it.

My problem now is the day to day rituals aren't getting worse but my thinking is. Im really negative in my mind and im finding it really hard to control my thoughts. The things i think about scare me and im really scared im going to become depressed if i cant get a handle over these thoughts. I feel like i have no control in my life anymore and i cant stand it, i have a massive need for perfection and to be in control of everything that happens in my life. Anyone with ocd have advice? Besides go see a doctor or get medication..

Many experts agree that primitive gins and spinning
wheels originated in India. The earliest samples of
cotton fabric were found in the excavations of the
Indus Valley. Samples of the most ancient mordant
dyeing technique for cotton fabrics, Kalamkari, were
also found there. The Puranas describe spinning and
weaving that match the modern concept of an industry.
The fibers used for spinning and the fabrics produced
were of the most varied types, unparalleled in any
other country during that period. Pliny's Natural
History informs that India exported to Rome large
quantities of sheep wool, woolen fabrics, colored
carpets, silks, cotton clothes, and fabrics ranging
from coarse canvas to textiles of the finest texture.
Ancient Indians had the reputation of making the
thinnest saree that could pass through a finger ring.
During the reign of Julius Caesar, the Roman Emperor,
the British did not know weaving and lived naked.

Can you play splitscreen on xbox live for gears of war? Like with another person using your xbox with another controler, but on xbox live. I think you can because in rooms there are people like Jimmy and Jimmy[1]. And they come at the exact same time.

I think they keep coming back to a cabin or resort somewhere on the same date each year. It may have had Alan Alda in it but I'm not sure about that.

How do you Get a Hand gun liscence and liscence to carry a hand gun in Pennsylvannia????

Why do i need it? Id rather carry a hand gun then a shot gun around first off. I deal with precious metals and gems, and at times i have much more cash on me than i feel comforatble with carrying. Not only that but with how things are getting I would feel safer with a hand gun strapped to my side. I need to know how to go about doing this, can a gun shop get me the liscence? Do i need to go to a municipal building, what?

Before I get dumb comments from anti Gun activists, do you think criminals have a liscense? Guns dont kill, people kill. Are you gonna try and band baseball bats next? A gun is a tool, a very effective one at that.

I would just feel safer with a firearm than a stun gun or can of mace, my life is important to me and i would enjoy keeping it.

Any usefull info would help. Thanks

I am curious as to what racial group of men is more likely to wear sandals these days in the usa these days. I don't think asian american men do so as much as asian men living in asia. It seems like it could be some middle class whites, or black men, middle eastern or indian men. Then again some mexican men seem to sport them around a lot.
