For the record - no, you didn’t. You sent me a not-pology saying that you are annoyed that I won’t admit I was wrong in the first place, and demanding that I apologize to you for calling you mean names in the Pit.
Today, you have continued to embarrass yourself by trying to Pit me again in the Snark thread.
Well, I’m not sure that it’s generally cool to post PMs, but since you’ve posted half of it, here’s the whole not-pology.
But feel free to actually apologize for acting like a complete jerk throughout the original thread, then pitting me and calling me a “fucking arrogant asshole” in the Pit for no reason whatsoever.
But I’m not interested in a private PM dialog with you, no.
Since we’re talking prescriptivism, I will confess that I finally made my peace last week with squash = quash. I heard “squash” twice by reporters on NPR in the last month, so I think quash has been, like, squashed, and we are just going to have to learn to live with it. It wasn’t a very unique mix-up anyway.
Forget about goats and squids; the new hazing ritual for new posters is apparently going to be surviving an accusation of being a troll in this thread.
Somebody go tell the folks in MPSIMS to stand down. :dubious:
