The totally off-topic thread

[Foreigner]

Your neighbour needs to see these people -

"Support group for people who have Febrile Convulsion and Erection Problems, created by eHealthMe eHealthMe - Personalized health information " :shock:

I can only suggest to Alan, mrs.dr.ron.

Yay! we're giving out less dose.

Maybe recalcitrant when it comes to the english language.

Febrile is basically the medical term for having a fever.In the definition you found foreigner note the word delirious.If you are delirious you may make decisions you would never otherwise make.
Hence mrsdrron's asking of JohnK-are you febrile?

Tree Unions?

 

[penegal]

I don't speak English as well as I would like. All those English classes spend staring... ahm..

 

[JohnK]

Are you febrile ??

Not yet but I might be if I book that trip.

 

[penegal]

At the danger of being on-topic, I find 3K to be quite a lot better than JQ (AU Domestic especially).

This extends to both the crew, and the self-loading cargo.

At school, I leaned towards the arts, not the sciences though chemistry was a favourite.

I especially liked English as a second language. BTW...here's another sentence with febrile:

Alan's wife's febrile condition caused her to experience chills and hot flashes.

 

[JohnK]

I don't speak English as well as I would like. All those English classes spend staring... ahm..

English is only my third language. And I'm sticking to that excuse.

Thanks drron. I reacted to Cove's post without reading what was written prior.

That's not a compliment is it?

 

[medhead]

That's not a compliment is it?

Depends of perspective and outlook, given the ugliness of english I imagine it could very well be considered a compliment.

But it is a reference to another famous english word learning experience for most of Australia.

 

[cove]

Let's all be glad that we have avoided the word and results from being febrile.

 

[Pushka]

Or had kids.

 

[Foreigner]

Or had kids.

That's your assumption.



<Assume and presume both mean to take something for granted as true (among their many other definitions). The difference is in the degree of certainty. A presumption is usually more authoritative than an assumption. To presume is to make an informed guess based on reasonable evidence, while to assume is to make a guess based on little or no evidence.>

Thanks for expanding my vocabulary mrs.dr.ron !
Can you put febrile into a working sentence?

Tony Abbott did this - or was it Julie Bishop or some other member of Abbott's palace guard just before his demise in September last year...as in "there was a "febrile" mood in the party room."

 

[coco50]

Hi cove and friends,
How about "Every time I hear Qantas use the word "Enhancement" I have a febrile reaction!"
John.

In that context wouldn't it mean something like erectile dysfunction?
