Damn didn't know Ame had it in her. Hot.

Meds, Amelia didn't call into Callis birthday either, but it didn't matter because Amelia was there the very next day supporting Calli at her 3D live.

WHAT IS UP DRAMA NATION

(not the anon you responded to)
Yo, settle this for me EOP.
My English teachers and some of my English class colleagues will die on the hill that COUPLE OF "X" will ALWAYS be 2, regardless of context.
Yet I swear I keep hearing english speakers say "couple of months/minutes/miles" when the range is unclear to the point of a 1 to 5 variance.
Am I the autist here, or is it something that happens more in US vs UK...?

>>29878988
holy schizo thread
shitposters and rrat peddlers are starving so hard they're literally pulling up year-old events for drama

>>29878673
>yes i am this desperate for validation((You)'s)

>>29878673
Wow, you're english classes are really paying off!

>>29878673
>No AmexCalli collab
How is that a bad thing?

>>29883494
couple literally means 2 but it's not strictly used that way
couple is usually 2 or 3, few is usually 3-5, several is usually 6+

>>29878673
dont forget that ame also deliberately declined the tree sentinel race despite being addicted to the game
theres definitely something else going on, something at the same level as gura pissing the bed

Semantically correct
>Am I the autist here
Yes

You're focused on the literal original defintion and not the cultural usage definition.

I wish IRyS was this lucky hell I would even take the 2 collabs per year Ina has with Calli, instead the fucking podcast is a recurrent collab

>Am I the autist here, or is it something that happens more in US vs UK...?

In conversational usage, people say a couple for a small varied amount when speaking informally, not caring about the specific amount (or when the specific amount doesn't matter), and expecting you to understand their intent.

For example, if someone asks you to grab them a couple donuts, it doesn't necessarily mean they specifically want only two. It's a standin for saying "some donuts" or "a few donuts" because the intent is that you'll grab them enough donuts that they'll be satisfied.

On the other hand, if someone were to seriously ask you how many meters away something is, and you say a couple instead of giving a defined accurate answer, that's just considered being an asshole because the conversation is more formal and consequential.

It's a matter of context, tone and circumstances. A couple is only flexible in casual conversations, where language is employed liberally and the stakes are low to non-existant. Otherwise, a couple will indeed be taken to mean exactly two.

It all depends on the context of the situation. If used in an informal way, it definitely doesn't not mean 2. Instead, replace the word internally with "a small amount, little". You typically wouldn't use it in a formal way, since it's an ambiguous statement. You would only ever use it formally if you yourself were unsure about the amount.

Yes, they're technically correct that it means 2. But at least where I'm from in the US, you would just say 2 instead of a couple. Even some idioms that use "couple" really mean more than 2. For example: "I'm going to need a couple of hands here!" really means "I need at least two people to help me out", despite that technically is 4 hands. Maybe brits are more stingy about the informal language, but formal US is typically very specific to the point of retardation. Informal US is much more body language based and loose about terms.

I missed all this. What exactly is going on?

Someone post the gura vt sisters soundpost please
