Or like now, since it failed smog inspection and the problem was worse than I thought and I can't afford to get it fixed or get a ticket. Be yourself!

quade 3 #29 May 22, 2007 A) It was a joke. B) Public transportation in, at least southern, California is itself a joke. Nothing actually connects with anything, it doesn't run late enough and it simply doesn't work as a "real" mode of transportation. I'm on a kind of social/civil engineer kick at this moment and it just blows my mind how F'ed up the entire transportation system is from cars, to busses, to rail, to bike trails . . . it's all F'ed up. Anyway . . . I digress . . . this was just a little joke thread wasn't it?quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could just take 405 to I-5 on your way to work, rather than "the 405 to the 5". Doesn't really matter to me though. What bugs me more in California is the naming of all the damned freeways.

quade 3 #43 May 22, 2007 Quote Twardo already explained it to you, but I'll try again. You take the 405 to work everyday. I take 35 to work everyday. That's all there is to it. Yeah, but that's a BS construct and totally arbitrary. It's actually more of an American construct than English. People in the U.S., will say "I'm going to the hospital", whereas people in Britain would say, "I'm going to hospital". The "definite article" actually is only "required" to distinguish a specific item from one of many, but it simply sounds "better" and more natural to American ears in general to say "the hospital". So, both "take the 405 southbound" or "take 405 southbound" are both perfectly fine.
