Where every sentence should end in though.

Don't blame me. It was my choice, but Monkey told me to do it though.

I'd love to waste more time with you, Nick; I've got to be up really early though.

Hi Skoob, was wondering if you'd join in, you've proved it's never too late though.

I don't think this - 'and' and 'though' - is correct though.

I'm off to bed; I'll be back tomorrow though.

Hey Skoob, whilst a little pointless, posting here keeps Anagrams off top spot though!

Did you know this though?
I found this on Online Etymology Dictionary though:

though
c.1200, from O.E. þeah, and in part from O.N. þo "though," both from P.Gmc. *thaukh (cf. Goth. þauh, O.Fris. thach, M.Du., Du. doch, O.H.G. doh, Ger. doch), from PIE demonstrative pronoun *to- (see that though).
The evolution of the terminal sound did not follow laugh, tough, etc., though a tendency to end the word in "f" existed c.1300-1750 and persists in dialects though.

Note: I'd like to add the description ends here though.

Isn't that interesting though?

Thanks for that SE, but all those symbols and stop start words half way through confused me though.

Oh don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, and thought it was most informative, I just didn't understand it all though.

You may not understand all of it, but the main thing is that you are keeping up more than 800 years of tradition with the use of "though" though.

Great work though!

I thought people who ended sentences with though suffered from subordinate conjuntivitis but my son tells me it should be conjunctionitis though.

Not sure which it is, but he's probably right though.

Don't you find that the anagram/acronym chatroom has too many rules though?

I find the atmosphere in here less cantankerous though.

That's good you feel that way SE, it's a free form forum, if you will, where you can just chat and speak about anything you like, for as long as you like, to whomever you like, just so long as you end it with though though.

That's though, not though though, 'cause though though wouldn't really be grammatically correct, funny though!

Although I find myself agreeing with some of the above comments I disagree with some though.

I like the anagrams though.

I didn't 'get it at first' though.

Some of the writers had some patience though.

They explained to me how to do it - otherwise I'd have give up - if it hadn't been for them - even if YOU don't like it though.

My thread is back on top, but only because I bothered to post a new message though.
