Question: Does anyone else get agrivated by this!?
I am in dancing, and when I see people asking about splits or dumb wanna be's are talking about doing splits!.!.!. why do they call them "THE splits!?"
what the hell!. they are not "the splits" they are just "splits!." there is no "the" infront of them!. thats like calling sunglasses "the sunglasses" or pants "the pants!." ugghh get it right people!. So does anyone else get agrivated by this!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

HOLY CRAP! Do you wanna be best friends!? I F-ing hate that LOL!. I'm totally flying off the handle, but seriously, it annoys me to no end!. And I love that you said udmb wannabes, because that's exactly it!. When I read it, I wish I was blind, and when someone says it, I want to rupture my own eardrums with a screwdriver!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yeah I never really thought about it!. Calling them the splits reminds me of spliting your pants or something!. Who really cares about splits!. It is just not a big deal!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

haha totally!
most people not in dance call them "the splits"
But I guess I usually refer to them[myself being a dancer] to "my splits", "your splits" "left/right/center splits" or something like that!.!.!. not like "the splits"
Good point, though!.!.!.very good point lolWww@QuestionHome@Com

yeah, i say "my splits" or "your splits", too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

splits that itsWww@QuestionHome@Com

Aggravated!? No, confused!. English is my second language!.
Thank you for pointing it out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

that wouldn't aggravate me as much as people who ask this type of question and they can't even spell!.!.!.that really AGGRAVATES ME!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

haha yes!. i think by "the splits" they mean left splits, right splits, and center splits though!. they just use "the splits" to refer to all three of them!. but you're right- it is weird!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

never thought about that!. makes sense though!.!.!.

what bugs me is calling pointe shoes "toe shoes"!. toe shoes either look like toes or show toes (in my opinion!) ARGH!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I wouldn't consider the wannabees "dumb"!. You are sounding a bit negative!. Ballerinas are supposed to be pure and have kind thoughts!. I really never thought about the whole spits thing, but i guess it is a bit weird!. I always teach my students to just call it "splits"!.
