Dudes of straight dope, if I type in proper english...

It’s nice to see someone finally acknowledge my superiority. tHANK YOU.

You’re welcome.

On a bright and sunny note, this thread also served to fight my ignorance on the subject of the Grapist. Way to go, Straight Dope!

Graped,* in memoriam*.

That would be 4got, not forgo6t.

You get poked for fucking up in latin around here. And you’re worried about your English.

Illegitimi non carborundum.

Prince thought the internet was over years ago - I don’t think he’s hanging around.

He’s a yo-yo - he comes on strong and says he doesn’t care what we think of him, then backs off and acts kind of contrite, then comes on strong again. If he sticks around, he might turn into a real poster. Meanwhile, I don’t think anyone’s taking him very seriously.

You get all the respect you deserve.

The OP does act like a retard, and I say that with all due respect.

Me transmitte sursum, Caledonis.

So is this thread what it sounds like when doves whine?

Try putting someone on ignore and see what happens - it won’t kill you. You can always take them off.

I just checked. You can’t ‘Ignore’ yourself. The OP is stuck with his posts. And so am I. :frowning:

I respect the OP as much as I ever did. :slight_smile:

I agree. Spelling/grammar obsession is diversionary and disingenuous except to gratuitously irritate another person when you are not better able to address the merits of their post. However, it becomes relevant if and when the very subject of a post is someone else’s spelling or grammar: then you had best be letter perfect of get out of the proverbial kitchen. (glass house etc.)

I see what you did there!

Thank you for an illustration of Gaudere’s Law.

OOOOOHHHHH!!! N00B! What’s the over/under that this n00b is a sock of the OP? I’m taking sock, banned in one week!

No it isn’t.

Excuse me, but I believe you meant “No, it isn’t.” Commas belong after interjections such as no, yes and suddenly.
:wink:
