All Things HORROR

You know...I own it, and remember watching it, but outside of a few plot details my only real memory of it was that I was underwhelmed. I have to rewatch it because it is considered by many to be real good.

For a similar theme, and a movie that definitely left an impression you may want to substitute this...

not a pleasant movie by a long stretch.

2000?2009, although I suppose it could apply to any first decade of a century. The word aught means "zero." Think old prospector voice. "I remember back in aught-eight..."

That is understandable. If you're curious, it's pronounced the same as "ought" (or Ott, I suppose). The word "ought" is frequently used where "aught" should be used instead.

These days you hear it more frequently only in certain areas, such as describing cable (00 or "double-aught" cable), bullets (.30-06 cartridge or "thirty-aught-six"), or, as used in the article, for years. So, if you're, say, a gaffer, a mechanic, or a gun collector (or an old-timey prospector), you have more of a chance of having used the word "aught."

However, if you're a Tom Waits fan, you've been using "ought" in its place. "16 Shells from a Thirty-Ought-Six"

While, I am Tom Waits fan, I am not an English language expert, so anyone in the know, please correct me if I've written any misinformation here.
