Talk:Cheerleader

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 18:47, 31 May 2007

Cheerleader is a featured article, which means it showcases an important part of the Homestar Runner body of work and/or highlights the fine work of this wiki. We also might just think it's cool. If you see a way this page can be updated or improved without compromising previous work, feel free to contribute.

One parent?

I really doubt the phrase "You mean your parent's house?" means that Cheerleader has only one parent. Doesn't it seem much more likely that this is a punctuation error (i.e., that it should read "parents' house")? It should be noted that TGS has included apostrophe-related errors in the past; for example, early TGS episodes often also included the phrase "ITS OVER!", which lacks a necessary apostrophe.

I agree. I never call my mom or my dad "my parent" like that. For example, when referring to my dad's car, I would never say, "This is my parent's car." I would just say, "This is my dad's car." — It's dot com 05:36, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Unless a future TGS says otherwise, I agree with this as well. --Jay (Gobble) 05:37, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Actually, I just remembered that an earlier TGS confirms my argument: in Teen Girl Squad Issue 4, the caption for Cheerleader at the beginning says, "cool parents!", suggesting that she does not have only one parent. Not that I probably needed to argue for it, but that should seal a'the deal. Heimstern Läufer 01:34, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Metres

I removed the quotation marks around metres in the article. I assume they were there in the first place because the orignial author thought the word was spelled incorrectly as a joke. However, the spelling is correct outside of the United States, and therefore in Scotland where the Cabertosser would have originated from. So, from his point of view, the spelling was correct and does not need the quotations.

Just explaining myself.
