I trekked through Disneyland with the wife and kids yesterday and then went home and did a 10 mile trail run in the late afternoon. Not sure which event covered more mileage.
Anyone wear a GPS to an amusement mark. What kind of mileage did you cover?
Anyone who says 'should of' should of not been allowed to of children.
It should of been a rule.
I reiterate a point I have made many times:
If you can't figure out how to use the shorthand forms, just say it in words. If you substitute 'there' for 'they're' then just don't bother and use 'they are.' If you can't tell that 'should've' is a short hand for 'should have', then take an english class.

I think your handle should have been:
just another guy with anger issues you elitist educated dork
As opposed to all you un-educated non-dorks. Oh, but at least you're not 'elitist'!

Ummm...
"shorthand"
"English"
Pot, meet kettle.

Do you own them?

my parents were both imagineers for Disney, so I grew up in that park. It feels bigger than it really is. The killer is the parking trek. It used to be that you could park right in front of the park, but they changed all that when they added the California park.
That said, the bigger question is why did you go home in the late afternoon? Did you go back? Disneyland is an all day thing brother, anything less is sacraficing the gift!

I second that comment

I knew both of those, but I didn't apply them because I'm too elitist.

It shouldn't be that hard to tell which covered more mileage, if you bothered to think about it.
You said you went home 'late afternoon', so that suggests you were at the park for 6 - 7 hours.
How old are your kids? How fat is your wife? (ie How fast could they walk without complaining after 5 minutes that they are tired and you are making them walk too fast?)
We'll assume you aren't cracking the whip and that you and your family, when in motion, are strolling at 25 minutes/mile, or about 2.5 miles/hour.
We'll also assume you didn't just make your family walk all day and instead stood in line for a while to go on rides. You probably also sat down for a while to have lunch and snacks.
Let's say this leaves you with a grand total of 3 and a bit hours of walking. Still a long ways off from your late afternoon 10 miler.
It is nice to see the "Agro's" come out to add to my thread.
Welcome you Kooks, now go for a run and relax!
The GPS data while riding the rides would of been interesting.
I am amazed how people with poor spelling or grammar defend it with pride, or anger at those who correct them.
There's no apostrophe when you shift from one agro to more than one. It's agros. Even with slang, grammar and spelling help with communication.
Several years ago, when the kids were younger, we would tour Disneyworld in two separate trips on the same day. In early afternoon, at the hottest point of the day, we'd go back to the hotel, shower and change, and also have a low cost meal offsite.
We were among the first people aht the park in the morning and the last to leave at night. The youngest also got a nap at the hotel, or in the air conditioning in the car or restaurant. Splitting the day into two visits was fun and made every hour count, rather than being an all day grind.
Sorry, at the park.
What is really amazing are those of you who correct and berate bad grammar, seemed to make the least amount of money. I believe that is where the chip on your shoulder arises from.
It is just a message board, but I do appreciate the English lesson!

Congratulations on having a lot of money. Doubtlessly, you are right that some people who correct grammar and spelling don't make much money. At least they try to help others, not just put them down.
I'm no longer young, but not yet old or wise. Still, it seems the weakest put down of another person is that they don't make much money. How much money a person makes is probably one of the least important things about a person. Among the rich, there are angels and scoundrels, as there are among the poor.
Your observation "It is just a message board," shows you have some hope of understanding why some people pay attention to spelling and grammar. It's because it is a message board. Independent of giving one another messages, spelling and grammar are not that important.
On a board of messages, it's the means of communication. The ease of reading and correctness of expression is both self respecting and respectful of others.
