So... many of you know that I am giving up the computer for lent... so this may be my last post in a long time, that or I'll keep you updated on Sundays :)... Now, as a last standing question for a while, I'd like to ask everyone what my family and I were discussing about while eating some nice Italian food...
When someone says "less than brief"... is it supposed to mean???
A. Very long
B. Very short
C. Its just a stupid phrase
I know... its short, but that's all for now!

I'd go with either B. or C.....but I never use the phrase so...(but "brief" means short and if it's less than brief...wouldn't that mean very short???)
I'll go with B. Because as Kat put Brief means short so there ya go.
:-O......Ethan....that was funny though ;-)
I'm gonna say A, because if it's said in a sarcastic tone, then 'less than brief' means excrusiatingly long!

This is where I jump in... My parents had said "Less than brief" means that its long, but the word "than" means that you're comparing... so if you say less than brief meaning longer, then it means being shorter than someone makes you taller...
But yeah I'd go for B, but sarcasm would cause an A :D (I thought there would be more on this...)
so ah whens the party
