As someone who bites their nails, DON'T GIVE IN. You know it stinks.
It doesn't stink! I actually prefer it. Not to the point where you do it, though - it's more of a grooming thing than a nervous habit or anything. I find it more annoying to type with longer nails. Also, I'm always having to clean them now. Every time I scratch myself while I'm sweating or in some way unclear, I get gross crud under them and have to clean them out.

I'm with Sidoh on this one. I stopped for a month and am fine. Maybe I'll go another month to prove the point. Or maybe I'll go till my birthday (a bit under two months).

Maybe all these years of nail-biting has prevented you from developing noteworthy nail-clipping skillz? Two clips for each nail, one on each side, meeting in the middle with less than 1mm overlap... gets them mofuggahs as short as you need.

The gross crud that gathers underneath is exactly why I don't want my nails near my mouth, and I hate the scratchy feeling of bitten nails on my clothes/bedsheets.

All those years of clipping your nails has prevented you from developing noteworthy nail-biting skillz? Notch out one side at the appropriate location, and peel it off all the way around. Perfect length, totally smooth. :)

Exactly!

I like nail-biting because it takes less effort/care to do it. If you're not careful with clippers, you end up cutting something too short. This is not true with biting.

I sense a deep rift beginning to form, splitting down the middle of the fundamental principles this Clan was found upon.

I hope for your sake, iago and Sidoh, that your resistance to change your barbaric, nail-biting ways does not seal our fate as another toppled over, forgotten internet forum.

Advantage to biting: I can manage my nails on an airplane without getting shot by an Air Marshall.

Your move, sir.

Disadvantage to biting: Gay air marshall (I'm sure they exist) sees your mouth skillz.

Wait, I'm confusing myself... is this a disadvantage or an advantage?

advantage. in the event of a wardrobe malfunction, iago could still get through a stubborn article of clothing that just won't come off.

Interesting research results.. I messed up cutting a nail yesterday and had to fix it with my teeth (no clippers handy). i discovered that the nails are quite a bit thicker/stronger than they used to be. More like my toenails (which I clip).

Craziness, man!

It was just really hard. Had to bite off the edge to stop it from catching.
