The "homely" term cropped up here again, by a Brit. Yes, quite a different meaning.

Last night I watched "The Bounty" (1984) with Anthony Hopkins & Mel Gibson (top billing).
The film has now been seriously down-rated, probably because of the latter's recent & frequent faux pas,
Pity. I liked him in the Mad Max series. Still haven't seen "The Passion of the Christ" or "Apocalypto".
He seemed to go off the rails around there.

Anyway ... I wanted to research the original story & one of the posters mentioned Bligh's book, which of course is out of print but I it found here:

Gutenberg is a great resource - check it out.

Your so not rite.

The apostrophe will soon disappear everywhere.

Good one, Hayley.

I trust your use of who's instead of whose was part of the jest.

My post at #30 was probably lame. I'm not well-versed in the lingo.
"Your so not rite" was meant as a joke about the "text zombies" who have no concept of spelling or punctuation.
They are also a major hazard on the road - several near misses.
Darwinism will take care of it. (-;
