Any pointing out would have been a joke. No, that is NOT what it sounded like. You, yourself stated that. How come you, and every other sentient English speaking human on the planet understands fully in speech when no one adds an apostrophe. Michael was simply trying to show off.

Like I said, just because it wasn't taken seriously does not mean that was not what it looked like. It did look like that. If you don't like sounded like that.

This is how people who know nothing about language react even when they themselves don't think the nutty notion is realistic. These are "kibitzers and nudniks", someone tells them something goofy about language and they run to repeat it, thinking it makes them look smart.

A lot of idiots choose to stay home in their little bubbles forever, hence they remain idiots. A little travel often helps resolve that.

I don't know enough about computers to include pictures... You don't know enough about English or, evidently, logic to be making these kinds of statements. Reality [and you, which I have had to point out to you at least twice] says AG was not saying that. The only one who was suggesting such a totally crazy, nonsensical, goofy notion was Michael Hardner, which I have suggested he garnered from Lynne Truss or some other crazy, goofy prescriptivist. Let me TRY to explain it to you once more - these goofy prescriptivists often try to make their language points by reducing their arguments to total absurdities. The only joke was Michael's attempted correction and you, sticking up for him, because you assumed the same nutty absurdity.

Nobody said AG was saying that. His error in punctuation made it look like he was. Laughter all round, which would not be the case if he actually was a cannibal. MH simply acknowledged the problems that can occur when people inadvertently omit apostrophes, just as the title of the book you seem to hate so much did with commas. I did too, before MH, but on reflection it wasn't funny, so I deleted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand all the factual issues that have occurred here. What you don't have the slightest conception of are the language issues. MH thought he was pointing himself up as a language guru when he, also, knows nothing of language. As I said, these "language gurus" make the most ludicrous suggestions to illustrate how bright they are, when it is they who are being ludicrous. I do hate idiots like Lynne Truss pretending they know of language when they most certainly do not. Why have you gone to such great lengths to illustrate that you endeavor to include yourself?

This sounds like something spoken by that blind old Chinese man who you used to see in the opening credits of 'Kung Fu'. We should be able rely on each other for trenchant analysis here. Trudeau Sr. was an economic nationalist but five years after he was out of office that idea was as dated as 1970s haircuts and bell bottoms. Now there's a global quest for international capital that is redefining economic relations everywhere, and changing society to the point where the cutting edge of Republic economics in 2017 mirrors that of 1970s Trudeau. 2017 Trudeau is the opposite of his dad. Ow, what a world. Ow. Ow. Ow. I'm still thankful, though. Edited October 14, 2017 by Michael Hardner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
