Doc Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I would assume "supposably" is a cross between "supposedly" and "probably." But I don't know, nor do I really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) I telegraphed my post below, before the grammEr Nazis criticize my grammar. What role (edited because of AC) does AutoCorrect play in this, did they use it on this cheat sheet? Another think coming? What happens when somebody has another THING coming TO them? Grammar Nazis thou protest too much, as is usual. Some are rEdiculous, but some that are ridiculous are just because many, if not most, like all, phonetically pronounce their words before typing it out on the keyboard. AnywayS, they don't know their Judas Priest anyway: "One life I'm gonna live it up I'm takin' flight, I said I'll never get enough Stand tall I'm, young and kind of proud I'm on the top, but as long as the music's loud If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by You're thinkin' like a fool 'cause it's a case of do or die Out there is a fortune waiting to be had If you think I'll let you go you're mad You've got another thing comin' You've got another thing comin' That's right here's where the talking ends Well, listen, this night there'll be some action spent Drive hard callin' all the shots I got an ace card comin' down rocks If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain Listen I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again Out there is a fortune waiting to be had If you think I'll let it go you're mad You've got another thing comin' You've got another thing comin' You've got another thing comin' In this world we're livin' in, we have our share of sorrow Answer now and don't give in, aim for a new tomorrow Oh so hot no time to take a rest yeah Act tough ain't room for second best Real strong got me some security Hey, I'm a big smash I'm goin' for infinity yeah! If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by You're thinkin' like a fool 'cause it's a case of do or die Out there is a fortune waiting to be had If you think I'll let you go you're mad You've got another thing comin' You've got another thing comin' You've got another thing comin' You've got another thing ahh Comin' on now You've got another thing comin' Yeah yeah yeah yeah You've got another thing comin' You've got another thing comin' You've got another thing comin' You've got another thing comin' You've got another thing comin' You've got another thing comin' You've got another thing comin' You've got another thing comin' You've got another thing comin'" Hunger pains bad? Ticky tacky, I say! I admit, affect/effect still gives me trouble sometimes. Myself suppose. I know I am suppose to have proper grammar and supposeD to put that pesky D on.. But who the eff cares, gets me faster to the to...And to begins w/a "t" which almost sounds like a "d". Again, ticky tacky.

sodbuster Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I did not know "another think coming."Right? It doesn't really make sense to me, because the purpose of the phrase is to explain to somebody that something is going to happen that runs contrary to their thought. It's going to happen whether they think it will or not, right? Irregardless, none of this matters to me because you'll never here use that phrase. If you think it's gonna affect me, your wrong.
