Can we all agree on this? In this chaotic world, we should keep things as simple and straightforward as possible. In this regard, there is no need to say AIRplane, as there is no such thing as a WATERplane or LANDplane. So everyone just say PLANE from here on out, as there is only one thing you could be referring to in the relevant context. Correct others as well if they say AIRplane instead of just plane. Thanks!
Similarly, we should stop saying everyone and just say one. No individual is everyone and there's no such thing as everytwo.

Da faq? That makes absolutely NO sense. "One" and "everyone" mean totally different things, and they can be used in similar contexts, hence it could create great confusion. "Who of yall is going to the party?" "One." "One? Which one of you?" "No, ONE." See, it just makes no sense. Thread responses keep getting wackier and wacker lol...

If you can have yall then I can have one. All it takes is for one to do it then one will make sense of it. lol :p

"I like pleasure spiked with pain
And music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane..."

or

"I like pleasure spiked with pain
And music is my plane
It's my plane..."
