Damn, you *squink, damn you straight to Hell!.
Besides, my mistake is perfectly excusable. The key for “I” and the key for “B” are just too damn close together.

Sorry, I haven’t read the thread; but I had a dream last night.
I was facing South at the corner of Venice and Clarington in L.A./Culver City (Venice Blvd is a boundary between the cities). There was a cop across the street. Something big and white crossed in front of me on my side of the street. It was a guy wearing a what looked like a boat. It was two pieces of cardboard about 20 feet long and three feet high. He was in the middle, and appeared to be a hemp supporter (dread bag, hemp clothes, etc.) The outside of the ‘boat’ had black lines on it so that it would represent a block wall. ‘HATER’ was spray-painted in red, and there was a skull and crossbones at the end. In the context of the dream, this display was a accusation against the G.W. Bush and the Republican Party (Band name? 
).

Better start with somethin’ mild. He looks a little puny.

Here’s something you should be able to understand: I have a problem with the way you apply the word “hater.” ParentalAdvisory done hit the semantic nail on the head. There’s a difference between a killjoy and a tattletale, and by blurring the distinction between the two, you give yourself an excuse to get all snarky on the person who calls you out for doing something wrong. It’s a weasel word for a weasel attitude, and eet’s booooooolsheeet. If you’re responsible for your own actions, why don’t you suck it up when you get caught, rather than crying about how the world’s more full of haters than you can understand?
(Is Foghorn Leghorn the anti-Ebonics?)
From the point of view of a Linguistics major, this is all very surreal… 
Prescriptive grammarians unite!
Shouldn’t that be “Prescriptive grammarians, unite!”?
