Of course there is oxygen in your urine. The substance that gives urine its name, urea, is CO(NH2)2.

Sorry, not enough context. The conversation was about molecules, not atoms.

No O2. Maybe urine isn't the right word either. Pee?

I immediately realised my mistake after I posted but I thought maybe it went unnoticed.

If I'm still saying something stupid, blame my Biology teacher :)

TIL that Dutch girls have wheenies.

+1 Hanged Man for pointing out the most obvious...er....concern with this whole thing.

Was that really news for you?

Heck yeah. When I see Doutzen Kroes, I expect crouching tulips, not hidden windmill.

*You'll never guess what my Biology teacher taught me...
:)

O2 and O are both refered to as Oxygen, at least in english.

You might be more precise, and say 'molecular oxygen' to refer to the O2 molecules we find in the air (and disolved in water, and probably urine - especially is you mix it up with some air) but i don't think people talk about 'atomic oxygen' to refer to the element (or even elementary/elemental oxygen)

Also i guess your biology teacher wasn't teaching chemistry/physics at the time...

"TIL that Dutch girls have wheenies."

That's what makes it funny, the way she said it...
And the title was to lure the dirty-thinking people in.

Am I really that hard to understand?

orathaic: yeah, it's comparable with Dutch in that aspect. I just didn't think of the fact that there's an O in urine :) And no, not teaching chemistry/physics... Not sure what you need to know of chemistry to be a vet though (right word for animal doctor?)? Also, the context was more what is in urine that makes it useful to make it and get rid of it, so the O in it was irrelevant. It also was back when I was 14. I suppose she didn't think the sentence through that much :)

That weirdo went from vet to teacher voluntarily...
Not exactly a promotion, at least not here...

It seems I amused you guys anyway, as was the goal I suppose. Too bad you +1 everyone explaining what I'm implying instead of me :P

Your English is fine overall, steephie. Don't let the fucktards get you down. :-)

I know. I'm just having a fun time with the fucktards :)

(check your e-mail if you haven't already Draugnar)

Would do, steephie. But that's my personal account and I have a holiday party tonight, so probably won't be able to answer until tomorrow sometime.

Will do...

And yes vet, short for veterinarian.

Though you might also use it to mean 'check a persons quality', as in vetting players before sending them the password for this live game... (sometimes looking up qualifications, when going for job interviews)

Or according to wikipedia, it is also an abbreviation for veteran, so you might vet the noob but let the vet play without vetting...

TIL that some people spell "weenie" with a superfluous "h".

So can you vet the vet vet while driving in a Vette?

And some people spell "whine" with a superfluous "g".

Yeah, I figured veteran was another possibility for vet, but I didn't know vet was short for veterinarian. I just learned the word vet at school. Hence I wasn't sure.

Thanks for clearing that up.
And that's a funny sentence :)

No problem Draug. No rush I suppose. Although I'd like an answer before tuesday for optimal efficiency :P

Also, what's TIL? :P

And thanks for improving my English, guys. Don't think I'm annoyed by anyone correcting me, I appreciate it.

I'll get back to you this weekend, no worries.

Well, then to clarify (as they picked on you for using it) the word is "taught" not "teached". My teacher taught me...

Draug's sentence was a bit better than mine...

But also whine and whinge are two different words, with very similar meaning. I don't think i could distinguish a whiner from a whinger...

Though as pure sounds a weird whine coming from my car's engine, might be a sign of mechanical fault, whereas a weird whinge coming from my car's engine indicates some kind of paranormal infestation, or semi-sentient AI which is suffering... (crazy whingey ghost/AI)

Ah, right. I missed that one. I sort of knew, but teached sounds better to me...

How about past continuous (or however it's called? Lolz...): My teacher has taught me, correct? Or has teached me... Hmm... I think the first one, but not sure...

(I suppose I could google, but this is more fun :P)

Never heard of whinge.

See: www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2007/03/on-whinge-and-whine.html

And yes, i teach, i will teach, i taught. Irregular verbs are unhelpful...

I didn't mean to make fun, steephie. I assumed "Wheenie" was a British spelling, like when they put an extra "u" in words like flavor/flavour or color/colour.

My teacher was teaching algebra for three days before we explain we had already been taught it.

Always taught. Teached isn't an English word.

My teacher was teaching algebra for three days before we explain(ed) we had already been taught it.

Correction to ora's sentence. Explain is future tense. Explained is past tense was teaching put the sentence in past tense. To use explain, he needed to say "will be teaching". Like in the lyrics "It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry."

I bet it is, hecks. I knew what you meant, and like I said, I really don't mind if you make fun. What's wrong with fun?

Never mind orathaic. The Dutch words we use for English tenses are too different to explain this I suppose, but I meant a different tense :)

Like I said though, never mind.

And wheenie is rather rare, (google suggests weenie, which i might add is an american word, rarely used in UK english) though wheenies/weenies do occur in magic the gathering, a wheenie deck is one with lots of tiny (cheap) creatures who swarm forward and gang up on their opponent, there are lots of them because they are so cheap... Though i think i'd still call the weenie decks, wheenie is ok.

@Ora - Stop your whingeing and whining? ;-)

Yes, sorry, explained is correct. My bad, i'd like to claim a typo, or at least blame my phone for said mistake...

I have no idea which tense you meant, we never learned languages very well, and that despite being taught english and irish for 11 years in school...

But continuous past 'was teaching' is what i got from the internet.

I wondered if your teacher meant to say "wee-wee" instead of "wheenie." It would make a lot more sense, since "wee-wee" is slang for urine.

Am/is/are teaching, was/were/has been teaching, will be teaching. Present past and future continuous.

And "wee wee" is commonly used as a kid-friendly way of referring to non gender-specific genitalia when referencing urination.

Yes, "wee-wee" is slang for either the genitals or urine, depending on its use.

It's also commonly used for the act of urinating as in a little kid dancing around going "Mommy! I gotta wee-wee!"

Yep, all three uses. Also pee-pee, as in 'i gotta go pee-pee out of my pee-pee and while you can drink pee-pee because urine is sterile, there are no conclusive tests showing any health benefits.'

OK, potty mouth. ;-)
