> [@jessesheeran](#): > > you know there is a board where threads should be able to be deleted. See, this sentence looks like it should make some sense, but it doesn’t. Does it mean there should be a board where threads can be deleted? And that’s MPSIMS? Or does it mean there is a board where threads should be deleted? But then what’s MPSIMS have to do with it. Gah, this is making me feel like I don’t speak English. ---

> [@jessesheeran](#): > > this is exactly right, i meant it both of those ways exactly like you said it, but I couldn’t have said it that good thank-you Well, that cleared that right up, didn’t it? :dubious: So I think I see the problem. You’re trying to make one English sentence say two mutually exclusive things. Standard written English doesn’t work like that. Because saying two things with one sentence makes the whole sentence. . . well, pretty much nonsense. Unless you’re going for the whole Zen thing. A rock and yet not a rock. But then you have to clue us in or it’s still nonsense. So pretty much what I’m getting from your posts is. . . nonsense. > [@An\_Gadai](#): > > _Dope_lganger. 😃 You got me. I went furiously searching for the spelling on google, ready to show you how wrong you were when I got the joke. ---
