Here's a question that's come up a few times in the last couple weeks:

Blah blah blah, sexist hair-washing, blah blah blah. Whatever! I bring the real issues. Like what's the difference between every other day and three-four times a week? ;) And yet...you got answers for both, so who the hell am I to pick nits? ;)

Well, it's for us variable people.

And really, I was just accommodating myself ;)

Well, I've been taken to task and shown that it wasn't such an issue after all. See my response to [livejournal.com profile] luminifer for my line of thinking. :)

You realize too that we're all going to jump you en gang and put you in the shower!

... wow, that had SO many more connotations than one would have expected.

*raising eyebrow*


Originally I thought in my head "What in the world is the connection there?" which didn't even get out before the OHHHHhhh came stampeding in.

You DO realize, I hope, that the three or four times a week might not be spaced out so that it is equivalent to every other day. They might take two showers one day because they're, say, conducting a genocide against crabgrass, and then stay clean enough afterward by lounging about the house that they don't take one again for three days. ;)

I can dig it.

i actually would interpret it this way:

every other day means literally that... so you shower mon, wed, fri, sun, tue, thurs...

3-4 times a week would mean something like you shower every monday, weds, and friday morning.. and maybe sat or sunday if you happen to be going out one of those days.

but that's just my interpretation :)

I guess too (since I'm one of the people that does it) that sometimes I'll take a shower Monday, and Tuesday, but not Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.

... Or something like that. It'll depend entirely on what (sweaty) activities I've been up to and how hectic my school workload is.

Makes perfect sense.

Writing it out makes me feel like a dirty bitch :P

It shouldn't. People shower too much.

Hell, I put down twice a week, but that's only because I'm being forced out among the humans these days. :)

Forced... out of the shower? ;)

I think I just got caught up in sets. I consider "every other day" to be a subset of "three-four times a week," know what I'm sayin'?

you're totally right in a literal sense...

is this one of those cases where you're supposed to evaluate each of the choices and just pick the "first" or "closest" or "most restrictive" match? ;)
