@scottalanmiller So meaning during day time everyone there is sleeping .. then I am alone here awake and still alive!

Yes, unfortunately. But you are lucky that so many American IT people like to stay up very late so they are often on much of the time that you are working.

Like myself, @networknerd and @fiyafly. LOL

[thanksajdotcom]

@Joyfano Happy to oblige.

It's the best I can do here. Nearly everyone has left Redneck now though. I'm told you should lunch at the Drunken Donkey now.

[thanksajdotcom]

@scottalanmiller Since when is lunch a verb? See example 1:
Youtube Video

[scottalanmiller]

Lunch started being used as a verb in 1811. One year before it became a noun. The idea of "having lunch" came from "We will be lunching at noon" rather than the other way around.

@scottalanmiller Oh hush!

Here are funny and erroneous Filipino English expressions that have been perpetuated over time.

1. Commute

What Filipinos mean: when someone uses public transportation.
What the English word means : to travel, period.

2. Salvage

What Filipinos mean: summary execution especially done outside the public's eyes.
What the English word means : to save something.

3. Next next week

How it should be phrased : week after next

4. Tuck out (shirt not tucked in pants)

Tuck out? Untucked is the proper term.

5. Main branch

No such thing. Should be main office.

6. Long cut.

No such thing. 'Long' and 'cut' are in fact contradicting. Should be 'long way.'
