Gailey misspeaks about earls' condition

Yeah. And you are as wrong as possible. And I don't mean that in a positive way.

Kyle, I suggest you leave the Mr. Language Person shtick to Dave Barry.

Imagine if you will, a test doctors often perform where they drag something across the bottom of your foot or tap your palm to test your nerve responses. If your nerves are still functioning, guess what? A "positive" result means your nerves are still functioning, i.e. it is good! Or what if a doctor shines a little light in your eye to see if your pupil will dilate - once again positive is a good thing. So the generalization that you base your silly complaint on is not even valid.

Chan Gailey is not a medical professional, and when he says something, medical or otherwise, is "as positive as possible" any idiot should be able to understand what he is talking about. No matter what his SAT scores were.

Considering the word on the street is that his tests were in fact, negative, I think it is relevant to say he misspoke or at least what he said was poorly worded.
 
Screw the semantics, doesn't anyone else find it disturbing that Kyle would even find it necessary to take an AIDS test?:wow:
 
GTKyle,

I think others have been giving you a unfair hard time lately, but this post is a little crazy.

When posting on GT board with GT fans and alums it is not only arrogant but downright ignorant to assume you did better on the SATs than anyone. Most folks who have a pull toward GT are quite bright. Granted their verbal sores aren't always all that great but unless you scored perfect on the math, I assume you scored lower than many posters here. And even then, you simply tied them/us.

Hmmm...how are your verbal sores doing today? I think they might have a topical cream for that.

That is on the hive. I love stingtalk. Even if people argue with me at least people on here can say what they want to say.
 
This whole thread is just wasting space on stingtalk. But to defend Gailey against your nitpicking, here is his exact quote:

"All the tests were as positive as they could be at this point," Gailey said. "He's moving. He's in good spirits."

Positive here can only mean in the things are good sense. You never say to an x-ray of a broken bone "that test was really positive" or "that test was as positive as it could be." It could only mean that it was, you know, a really positive sign. You know, that things are good.

I don't care anymore.

Positive test results are bad. He meant positive as in good results. Earls' test results were negative.

GTKyle...good grief.

He did not say the RESULTS WERE POSITIVE.

He said the tests were as positive as they could be...which is a correct statement.
 
FIRE CHAN GAILEY FOR USING THE WORD POSITIVE!!!1!11!one!111eleventyone
 
Kyle,

You are wrong on this one. Really, you are. Stop digging and accept it.

And as long as the whole point of the thread is nit-picking on grammar and usage, there is no such thing as "the SATs." It is the Scholastic Aptitude Test or the SAT.
 
While this thread was absurd, I think you are the one digging in this case lonestarjacket...digging threads out of the grave.

Grave?

I didn't know it was that old given that it was near the top of the threads list for Football. This board obviously needs more traffic so the "graveyard" isn't isn't near the top of the front page.
