It would be much easier to respond to your posts if you didn't go back and edit, adding paragraphs of additional text. Sure, if you feel it is necessary to scan and post that page in your "Webster's II, New Riverside University Dictionary" with a copyright date of 1984, 1988 and 1994, ALONG...

Well, better this than politics and religion! :D

I did not say that i could not 'back it up'. I said that if I go back and show you where you could've placed commas to make your writing more appealing to the reader, you would argue it. I have repeatedly explained why I don't use captitals on internet forums, but since it is so bothersome to...

stop agreeing? when did i start? :D

yes, isn't it irritating when somebody corrects others all the time, all the while making mistakes? that was my initial point. CC likes to correct those he feels need correcting. he expects others to proofread their posts, yet it seems he rarely does so himself. i simply wanted to point that...

i know that you posted something, Zeebra, but i have you on ignore so I don't have any idea what you've posted........ :whistling: :laugh:

situations is :D

glad it was a joke. it WAS too ironic and juicy to be real, but i couldn't just let it go. i generally don't make a big deal out of people correcting others unless they do it all the time - all the while making loads of mistakes themselves. we ALL make mistakes. *edited to add quote, as...

Oh REALLY? *Please notice that I capitalized this time for you. *EDITED FOR SPELLING. WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES.

sorry, i didn't see that part about Webster's in your pre-edited post. http://machaut.uchicago.edu/?action=search...&quicksearch=on this shows that "thin skinned" is not in either the 1828 or the 1913 versions. however, "thin-skinned" shows up in the 1913 version here...

superhuman? no. but actually it takes a bit of effort, believe it or not. once in awhile you catch yourself running out of the phone booth, forgetting to put your superman suit on.

once again: a long, long time ago, in a far far away interweb, many people used to type like this. it had function for certain aspects of computing that were case sensitive, and then worked its way into usergroups and the like. nowadays, less and less people use it, so it looks foreign...

actually, SC, i don't consider it to be lazy. in fact, it is quite the opposite. it is a writing style that has function in some aspects of computing. over the years, as more and more forums and bulletin boards have been created, more 'non-computer' folks frequent them. granted, i am not a...

yes, thin and skinned are two seperate words that take on a different meaning when joined with a hyphen. or were you claiming that their epidemis was actually less thick than most? actually, ALL of my sentences are lower case, not some. i am not writing an essay for an english lit class, i...

which dictionary has thin-skinned without the hyphen? every online dictionary has it listed with the hyphen. http://www.onelook.com/?w=thin+skinned&ls=a i don't have access to any actual dictionaries here at work. i understand what a 'shift' key is. typing in lower case on the internet has...

very obviously

your should be you thin-skinned criticism exaggerate certainly i won't go into the lack of commas....

it might be due to people like me, who fill up twice as much.... not twice the gas, mind you.. i end up only filling half a tank alot of the time depending on how much i have in my wallet. when it was cheaper, i would almost always fill up. but i don't always have $30-40 in my pocket, so i...

i used to drink jack until they decided to make even more money off of their customers and watered it down AGAIN. now i buy Evan WIlliams black label. i actually like it alot better than jack anyhow, and it's cheaper and higher proof - so you get more for your money. i often drink it with...

yep. :whistling:
