    I abstain from Mountain Dew for the safety of all those around me.

    Franklin’s rationale sounds most noble.

    As for me, Mountain Dew just isn’t my soda of choice. Most people I know either rarely touch the stuff or drink it daily. That’s pretty unusual for a soda, but common for coffee. Some people I know who drink it daily use it in place of coffee for their caffeine fix.

    For instruments I think I’d be the Glockenspiel. I like its German name and I do chime in from time to time here on the Not-Forum.

    Other unique instruments that I like are the Didgeridoo, the Bagpipes, the Kazoo, the Gong, and the Seaboard RISE 49, just to name a few. However, I’ve never seen these in any orchestral production that I’ve attended.

    I love how the glockenspiel sounds… And I think that’s a great description… Also I love how we went from instruments to Mountain Dew in less than 30 posts…

    Yes. It seems like it would have taken less posts than that.

    *fewer posts
    “Less” is used for uncountable amounts, whereas “Fewer” is used for countable quantities. So you should say “Less Time” but “Fewer Minutes”; “Less Writing” but “Fewer Posts”; “Less Bickering” but “Fewer Arguments”.

    I wouldn’t have said anything except Masøn and Franklin made the exact same grammatical error. I prefer to let Josiah do the correcting, if any needs to be done, lest I come across as snobby.

    HOW DARE YOU IMPLY THAT I’M SNOBBY?
    (:D)

    Oh, I didn’t mean to imply that YOU’RE snobby Josiah. I’ve just had more formal education than anyone else here, so my correcting of others might appear snobby while your correcting would appear reasonable, all things being equal.

    (I missed a comma before “Josiah”.)

    Haha, okay. I knew you weren’t implying that I’m snobby.

    Good. Hopefully we were able to clarify that to the other instruments as well. 😀

    The correct usage of “less” and “fewer” is discussed at my house a lot, as I tease my dad by using the wrong one intentionally. I personally don’t consider anyone correcting my grammar snobby, unless they’re just doing it to be rude.

    I can attest to Potato liking the correct usage of “less” and “fewer…”

    How do you know how much formal education we have all had?

    You don’t even know my age!

    1. He has a master’s.
    2. We make it relatively obvious what general age we are.

    Speaking of orchestras, I’m currently at a Crowder concert waiting for it to begin so I can watch my friends perform… And I’m the most impatient person in the world. So. Waiting. Is. Painful.

    I’m currently sitting in my room sorting old papers and wishing I could go to that concert cause that would be awesome…

    I think that it would be fun to go to that concert, but 16 times more fun if I were waiting for it with Masøn and AP. (It’d be even more fun if all of the other F.A.C.E.s were there too.) 😀

    Let the records show that comments #26375 (Posted 8-28-17) and #31630 (Posted 10-10-17) both include Kristen congratulating me on my Master’s degree.

    Let the records also show that in the “Heyo I’m Super Chris” thread, Kristen indicates on the first page that she is between the ages of 18 and 21 and at the time was anticipating the start of online college for accounting.

    I could go further, much further, but I think here is where I’ll rest my case on comment #35057. (Get it? Rest? Music pun? It’s the orchestra thread? *Sigh* Apologies for trying tube hard.)

    I forget things easily. I would blame my hair color, but that’s not a good excuse.

    I’m also tempted to congrate you again…but I won’t

    Also…I have no issue stating my age anymore. But 18-21 is still accurate.

    I need sleep…

    I guess we just keep asking if 18-21 is accurate until it isn’t…

    Three things:
    1. Kristen, you may congratulate me as much as you’d like, I’d just appreciate it if you didn’t forget in-between congratulations. There are plenty of other things about me that I don’t mind you forgetting about, but something that you’ve congratulated me for multiple times is something that I hope you’ll remember. When you (specifically you, as the active member of the Not-Forum that you are) think of “Jeff Ross”, the first three terms that should pop into your head are “Christian”, “Master’s”, and “HOWDAREYOU”, in that order.
    2. Masøn, great strategy, except that some ladies might always say it’s accurate because they think of themselves as “Forever 21”, especially on the internet. (Not saying that Kristen will be that way, but it’s good to be aware of the shortcomings that certain strategies contain.)
    3. I found a new instrument that someone could be:

    Here is the instrument (marketed as a “casual wind instrument”) playing “When the Saints Go Marching In” with some people who are really happy to be a part of the video:

    That’s cool. I was thinking that it would sound perfect with the ukulele, and then that’s what they did.

    1. I’ll try not to forget, I’m currently pumping my head full of tax law, so every other thought is mush. I’m sorry.

    2. I’m 19. I graduated high school (homeschool) in June 2016. I took a year off of college which has turned into 2 years. I am starting college at a community college next year for an associate’s in business management (that way I can go to corporate in the company I’m working for).
    In September 2016 I took the tax class (I’m not 100% OK saying my company just because I don’t wanna be held accountable if I then complain about said company on a public forum). I hated the tax class, but my mom said if I got a job I could get a hairless cat. So in January 2017 I started. About 3 weeks in I fell in love with tax law and filing returns and all the credits and deductions. I never could’ve saw it coming.
    I was gonna wait til my birthday next year to give my age…so I could be like “happy birthday to me. I’m not longer a teen. Ladadadadadadaaaaaaa now I am twenty” but…I’m terrible at waiting.

    I’m terribly impatient, so I feel you…
