Oh, I should probably be going now.

Goodnight.

#206402 Twilight Sparkle Sat, 26th May '12 7:59:29 PM from Ponyville

I don't think those do it justice.

@Twi: Really? I've been using "everypony" for my greetings since I got here. Force of habit I suppose.

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

@Orion: You appeared in the valentines day episode with another stallion. This fandom is pretty well starved for interesting background stallions, let alone ones to couple together with any kind of consistency. I was tempted to write about you for a while, though obviously not R34.

Of course now that I know you better that's out of the question. Impolite, and all.

goodnight miss cheerilee

@Orion: Well, there's no official rule on it, but I think "everybody" or "everyone" just makes more sense.

#206407 Lyra Heartstrings Sat, 26th May '12 8:00:48 PM from Bon Bon's house

Well, hello to everyone who greeted me! I'm not sure whether I hang around on here too much, or not enough.

Goodnight Cheerilee!

@Kegi: Oh, don't mind me. I think it would be interesting seeing how you would interpret me. So, are there any fics about me?

Hi Lyra! How are you and Bonbon doing?

Also, how the heck did you get in Cloudsdale during the best young flyers compition?

well even we tend to use everypony when talking about us.

Hey, we haven't even stated bringing in temporal stuff, you think trying to figure out how to categorize such a wide range of dimensions and universes is hard, try adding in temporal variations as well.

#206414 Lyra Heartstrings Sat, 26th May '12 8:05:10 PM from Bon Bon's house

@Marston: We're doing fine. She really liked that story I wrote. I think it helped her understand why I felt so bad.

As for Cloudsdale: Magic. Seriously, I wanted to see it, so I looked up that cloud walking spell Twilight used. Took me forever to figure out how to do it. I'm still surprised that she figured it out so quickly.

@Seraphem: I'm well aware of the complexities of inter-universe interactions, I just question the value of using complicated terminology where simpler vocabulary would suffice. I mean, if we were involved in a scientific study I could see the necessity of utilizing a tightly monitored lexicon, but in a casual context it seems unnecessary.

#206418 Seraphem Sat, 26th May '12 8:10:14 PM from Delamare

Ah, see the issue is there really no easy way to differentiate between...well....given we ARE keeping it focused on just two overall 'verses, could probably use some less precise terminology and still be accurate enough.

Let's just say they got me to watch 8 episodes.

I thought you were really upset after only 4?

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

@Cheerilee: You're missing out on the ending, it's really worth it all.

@Twi: The only problem with getting too technical is that you tend to lose the audience

Hey everypony! Or everybody. Not sure which terms I'm supposed to use in mixed company.

Well ponies on the show don't seem to care. They sometimes use body when addressing only ponies and use pony when addressing nonponies.

@Fallen: Glad you think we're cute.

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

#206424 Twilight Sparkle Sat, 26th May '12 8:18:38 PM from Ponyville

@Story: Well, I'm sure there are plenty of times that humans use incorrect grammar.

But seriously, most of the time we just alternate between "Everybody" and "Everypony" at random, and sometimes use "Everypony" due to force of habit even when it doesn't really fit.

#206425 Lyra Heartstrings Sat, 26th May '12 8:19:04 PM from Bon Bon's house

@Fallen: Thanks!

Out of curiosity, anybody know who my handler is? And no metagaming!
