Q: "Yor first bookshelf" for a non-native speaker

Col. ShrapnelI have a question of somewhat different kind, not grammar related but rather about learning English in general. I am learning English mostly from reading books. But my choice of books is quite random. So, I decided to ask this great community for the list of books one have to read to get themsel...

That's yer kernel.

Huh.
 
Yuh.

Gotta admit, I'm impressed.
 
Perhaps he has not been reading nice books.
 
user163250
Though it also makes me wonder, just what kind of books has he been reading?...
 
jinx
 
user163250
@tchrist yeah, I was just about to go there...
 
user163250
@tchrist :P
 
user202362
I am sorry to say, I know truth hurts, but despite how many more hours you have put on SE/SO, that little prick Evan Carroll is going to be remembered more than you do. @Bart @ShadowWizard does that not piss you off?
 
user202362
Also knowing how many people I have upset, I shall take my leave. Don't hate me, kz :')
 
@chmod711telkitty who is "Evan Carroll"? Why should he/she piss me off?
 
user202362
1:19 PM
@ShadowWizard this
 
Oddly, I am not troubled by any thoughts that the EC will be more remembered than me.
 
user163250
I still don't understand who the heck this Evan Carroll character is.
 
user163250
Also, why I should care.
 
user163250
lol :P
 
user163250
@YummyUnicornRainbowTails hallo?
 
l
 
@chmod711telkitty OK. What about him? I know he pissed Jeff a lot, so what?
 
user202362
he's prehistorical :P
 
@chmod711telkitty so @Bart should know him... :D
 
Wasn't he suspended?
 
user202362
let's stop this conversation, shall we ... before we all get angry again ~_~
 
@YummyUnicornRainbowTails not sure, probably. Jeff had his moods, as far as I remember. lol
 
Especially indigo.
 
But why did Jeff get annoyed?
 
user202362
1:25 PM
menstrual cycle :'(
 
user163250
<facepalm>
 
@YummyUnicornRainbowTails comments like this:
I believe that whenever I ask a question @JeffAtwood notifies all his employees over a private Fetlife message to downvote me. — Evan Carroll Sep 11 '13 at 17:26
 
Just an ambitious troll.
See his meta posts.
 
1:26 PM
@chmod711telkitty you mean this?
Male menstruation is a term used colloquially for a type of bleeding in the urine or faeces, reported in some tropical countries. It is actually caused by parasite infestation of the urinary tract or intestines by Schistosoma haematobium, and cases of it are actually schistosomiasis, formerly known as bilharziasis. In some tropical peoples that work in wet places such as rice fields, most boys pick up Schistosoma, and start the bleeding, about puberty when they start working in the rice fields, and uneducated locals think that it is normal and refer to it as the male equivalent of female menstruation...
 
user202362
I mean mood swing :p
 
@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M well, to me he always looked like someone simply utterly upset at the way Stack Exchange works
@chmod711telkitty oh
smelling @rene to calm down

:D
 
user163250
@ShadowWizard THAT'S A THING?!?!
 
@Cupcake that was new to me too, until I googled it :P
 
Leaves silently
 
1:29 PM
@Cupcake Waiwait, are cupcakes innately male, or female?
 
user163250
@YummyUnicornRainbowTails lol not a bad plan
 
Tasty.
 
@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M depends on their frosting
 
user163250
@ShadowWizard LOL
 
user202362
But hey, speaking of violation, no one here suffered more than I did - frequently kicked out of a chat by an alcholic owner is nothing compared to having my website, a popular forum & my own phone hacked. A popular anti-me entry in urbandictionary and numerous calls from strangers laughing at me.
 
user202362
1:30 PM
So please ...
 
feeling sorry for poor @chm
sending flowers to @chm
 
user202362
<3
 
Sending @rene?
 
lots of @rene yeah
and also...
@Moosebot pizza
huh?
 
user163250
One could say that you're defined by the company that you keep.
 
1:32 PM
@Moosebot SHOG!
 
user163250
But it's not my place to pass judgement.
 
@Cupcake Hmm, my only company is . . . chemistry. So that's why I'm supercool. ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

I see we have an amateur comedian in the house...
 
Your only company is chocolate flavor. O.o

Oh wait, why a gun when I can dissolve you?
 
user163250
@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M that's my cue to casually sneak out of the room...
 
user202362
It seems that no matter where I go on the internet, there is always a bunch of people ready to pounce at any chance to violate me at any length. It's not just stackoverflow/stackexchange. Have I ever intentionally hurt anyone (Other than when I was really really angry - you know, internet rage) I have never purposely violate other people the way I was abused.
 
user202362

It's better that way.

@YummyUnicornRainbowTails flag as offensive, the mod should notice it is also self vandalizing
 
flagged, hopefully the -100 rep still works
 
Lol the user will go to 1 rep
 
Not like he doesn't deserve it.
 
2:32 PM
@YummyUnicornRainbowTails nope. 70 or so.
 
Why? 3 rude posts
 
yay!
> This account is temporarily suspended to cool down. The suspension period ends in 23 hours.
 
@YummyUnicornRainbowTails No problem. Not sure what happened there...
 
Somehow he raged?
 
2:34 PM
@JonEricson typical rage quit
Maybe some question/answer he posted got downvotes recently?
 
@ShadowWizard I thought having a pet would be a calming influence. ;-)
 
He should know after getting 1.4k on SO
 
He knows what's expected of him
He knows about DV's
Passes @Bart gun
 
Well, @Jon you're too good - personally think there's no point keeping such account around.
(I bet he'll just do it again in 24 hours)
 
2:37 PM
@ShadowWizard no worries. I'll get over the misspelling of "BIG".
 
@ShadowWizard We have an unlimited supply of suspensions in that case.
6
 
thumbs up for @Jon :)
 
Breaking news: shortage of suspensions finally over
 
Goes to suspension factory and orders (Shog©)?9999999999 suspensions
 
That's the effect of Venture Capital for ya. No worries anymore about the cost of suspensions.

Yay, @inf is helping keep the tavern **** free
 
@Bart good! I was worried you'll take out all your rage with your smiting stick on that poor user. :D
 
user202362
I wonder whether there is any success stories on rage quit - you know the ones that really quit & never come back ..
 
@YummyUnicornRainbowTails Be aware that if he is in one of his angry days, Shog the vengeful may decide to handle that as you requesting 9999999999 suspensions :P
 
@chmod711telkitty start a poll ;)
 
2:42 PM
Yes, I am requesting 9999999999 suspensions for bad users
 
user202362
But ... But ... People who rage quit might come back in a different nickname & deny everything ...
 
I deny everything ... oh...

user202362
2:45 PM
@ShadowWizard 100% unsuccess rate ... With 1 vote! Very useful. 😂
 
user202362
I mean, one would only rage if one cares about certain things very much. So quitting such things would be hard with so much emotions involved.
 
@SmokeDetector tpu-
 
@chmod711telkitty sounds like relationships

Don't let the hackers hack your dreams...
I wonder, did they actually let a cat type, or was it a human impersonating a cat?
 
2:55 PM
Umm... this @Jon gets confusing :p
 
oops, sorry @JonClements !
 
but @JonEricson is just too long!
 
Hi Jon
 
2:55 PM
uh oh
hides
 
Hi Jon
 
which Jon?!?!?! :D
3 Jon's and counting
 
@ShadowWizard It's shorter than Clements! :)
 
@JonClements lol, that's true
 
2:57 PM
@JonClements I assume the thumbs up was for all Jons everywhere.
 
@JonEricson I might be biased - but "Jon" is a name worthy of being mentioned :p
 
oh, hey @JonChan if you're already here, did you notice this comment?
@Jon any updates, almost 3 months later? In addition to what OP showed here, this blog post also contains the non exitant image blog.stackoverflow.com/wp-content/uploads/…Shadow Wizard 4 hours ago
 
@ShadowWizard I did - looking
 
Thanks! Just in case the image is lost in the void, I found it in the Archive
 
Wordpress blog?
 
3:01 PM
@YummyUnicornRainbowTails it was. Now it's 100% SE blog.
 
3:19 PM
@ShadowWizard excellent - I'm trying to get an old dump of our WP repo with (supposedly) all the static assets
 
@JonChan well, looks like Web Archive have them all, e.g. web.archive.org/web/20150317044809/http://…
 
@ShadowWizard If you remember the user profile URL, call !!/rmblu to make sure he isn't blacklisted anymore, and then it isn't too much of a problem anymore.
@ShadowWizard Now... what if, the spam contained characters from both languages? :P

Is that a British expression? Have not heard of it and google is not helping!

Like shooting fish in a barrel?
It means it's something you don't have to work for.
 
Ah, now there's an expression I know. I suppose the majority of the answers on that list is fine, but I like seeking out not-so-great posts.
 
I doubt it's primarily British, as I hold an American passport.
 
Hmm. I would have guessed the definition pretty accurately, but I had never heard the expression.
Always good to learn something new =)
