This is the problem with you. Like BaftaBabe, as I have often stated, I try to stick to talking about what I actually know about. Since I know a reasonable amount about words and language, and this is a site about words, I often make comments about that subject. It's also a site about films, but I know much less about them and so openly only make more basic comments about them. Other subjects come up that I do or don't know something about. Conversely, you repeatedly comment on things regardless of knowing anything about them. You make up your opinions in isolation, without regard to any actual evidence.

I love that you just can never see how hypocritical you are. You corrected B.B. about species, something that I had also noticed but decided not to mention. She was obviously using it fairly casually, just as GHcool was with tense. Both words have precise meanings and obviously may be used more crudely in everyday conversations. You also fairly often correct people's spellings. (I know that people think that I do that, but it is only the case extremely exceptionally other than in reviews, which do need to be amended.) I know that in both the instance here and in other cases such as those spellings, you are only pointing it out glibly for amusement, but the problem is that you don't see that that is the same with me. I winked when I said it, for fuck's sake. I was quite obviously laughing at my reputation here as a linguistic pedant. So there's still a difference between us, because you have absolutely no sense of humour about yourself. |

Why on Earth would you want to see my status?  You're always whinging about 'having' to read things that I write here. |

Then how about a little laugh at your reputation for being a pompous nauseating fuck-up?

My friends told me that US will have a Black President only "when pigs fly."
We have Obama now. and then, swine flew, er..., Swine flu.
Btw, pigs may be intelligent but are they "emotionally intelligent"? |
