This is just to my TennHippie
his face is one I cannot see
but to see that look
even if it would brook
the end to my high fantasy
There once was a Byzantine writer
Who was a lover and not a fighter
I’d hem, haw, and stammer
While watching my grammar
Cuz all I wanted to do was excite’er
I wonder, have my lyrics been mean?
My intention was to amuse Byzantine.
Should I cross my t’s and dot my i’s,
and never forget to capitalize?
Is my grammar really obscene?
Since we are going to be prescriptive,
allow me to take the initiative.
I’ll get my verbs to agree,
make my prose slang free,
and promise to never split an infinitive.
Gracias CKDext!
The time and energy that some posters save by not typing properly, I spend by trying (and I have to say, sometimes futilely[sp?],) to understand their mere words, not to say their ideas.
Most of the time I don’t mind the struggle, as long as the topic is (to me) not too important, or plain foolish. But when I have to read and re-read in order to properly grasp the idea cleverly (or stupidly) concealed behind the words of a lazy (energy aware?) poster, it bothers me.
Being careless when chatting with your friends over ICQ is one thing. They probably already know you. Posting for a forum full of “strangers” is another.
Why don’t you guys include a rule or a policy concerning the proper usage of English when posting?
Ok, I said it. Now you all Caps-eaters can come to me…
There are some who say that I’m queer
Of this I have no great fear
If you can prove better
Then write me a letter
I’ll stick my OWN DICK in my ear!

What about folks who can’t get their point across without using the words “shit” “fuck” “suck” “cunt” or “piss”? Some, not all, find that offensive. Others see it as questionable upbringing.
Since this is only a message board, and not a dessertation, most people that aren’t trying to bury their noses up Cecil’s ass could care less about grammar.

life is but a strange story
I’m sorry. I take it back. It was the end of a long day and I took it out on you guys. Please forgive.

"without using the words “shit” “fuck” “suck” “cunt” or “piss”
I know you posted later, you dumped and most of us sucked it up as a part of being here. Such is life. But how many sucked up my topic?
I think you raise a valid point. How lame can you be to only express yourself in the most base of terms? I find myself resorting to those words and beyond when I have lost any other way of grabbing attention. Those “blue” words still work, don’t they?
We have a poster here who just jumps at anything sexual to get folks to post to her topics. How many of you have fallen for it? How many of you fell for mine? (Oh, fuck you) when it was really about typing, spelling and getting the most brief of a fucking clue?
Didn’t I cop out too? Got you to come here, read it, and maybe post just because the topic itself was so base. After reading all of this can any of you say that the word “fuck” didn’t lead you here?

I feel I’ve been brought up right. I also feel there’s nothing wrong with peeking in the window of a store displaying a sign reading “Free Blow Jobs”.
Satan gets his jollies when people are pissed at him – so he pisses them off.
LALL, I say. 'Cept in the Pit.
Hmm, I saw this subject and there were 69 messages & umm, just needed to get it to 70.
So now it’s 71… isn’t that 69 with two fingers up your ass?

Speaking of two fingers up your ass… Brithael, where are you?
