Quote: 06:45 I really stand up now. Just in case you'd like to know, the German word "aufstehen" does NOT translate to "stand up". I see this literal translation is really popular in Germany or Austria or whatever for some reason... -- |

While it might not be very common usage, I think it's "correct" to use "stand up" as a synonym to "get up" or "rise". Maybe it's used less in this context than other expressions. Online dictionaries supporting this claim:

Context, context, context! You do not say "stand up" in English when you mean "get out of bed". That's all there is to it. -- |

Holy avatar changes, Batman! I thought X-G's post was made by Richard Phipps, and it sounded strange. Then I saw the weird changes to it and knew the truth. -R |

Camel toes. He's a camel inspector. He inspects camel toes. Makes sure they're all in order. -- |

Today was crap, Yesterday was crapper. By this pattern, I predict tomorrow will either be good, or be a riot. |

Today was a holiday so I stayed home. Yay for holidays. Tomorow I have to work again which means I have to get up at 5:30, so if you'll excuse me, I'm going to bed (it's almost 21:00). Good night. -- |

Quote: Just in case you'd like to know, the German word "aufstehen" does NOT translate to "stand up". Okay, I'll use "get up" in the future! Thanks you notified me of this! Quote: that heavy metal freak who's music is louder than the mass of people babbling randomly through the bus When we're already nitpicking, it's "whose", not "who's". "Whose" means dessen, while "who's" means der etwas ist. Quote: Today was a holiday so I stayed home. Yay for holidays.

Hehe, I know the feeling of holidays. Today I had just 4 hours of school instead of 7, which made my day! -- |

Quote: When we're already nitpicking, it's "whose", not "who's" Most english people would just use who's I think. We are pretty lazy with grammar.. |

I always use whose when i mean whose. I say who's when i mean "who is". [edit] |

who's: who is/has. I think. Didn't actually look it up. It's like its and it's. Marcello |

It's not like it's its "it's", it's more like it's its "its". --- |

I seem to have the gift of starting off-topic discussions about grammar/spelling! Quote:
7:00 wake up When I look at this, I ask myself: Can't you go by bike instead? -- |

By bike? Through strong traffic and air fulled with fumes - hell yeah ! No to mention the snow (yes on the roads too ). |
