Hey Pallin, is this the first time you ever tried to tell an Englishman or an American how to speak correctly? Good grief!!! The only way to SPEAK English correctly is to memorize ( memorise, in London) every idiom and colloquialism for the region of the person to who(m) you are speaking. Otherwise you just sound like a foreigner. Sorry, dude, but it IS like that.
He/she (it?) responds to this article on breast feeding.
I quote: “The composition of breast milk makes us human”.
Seems to be common theme: breast milk, kids, humanity and psychology.
More to this than meets the eye, methinks. :dubious:
So, what do you think the word “humane” means? You might want to check a dictionary or two before you answer.
It seems the English language isn’t the only thing he has interesting ideas about. He also doesn’t believe you can have fractional percentages of anything.
To Mr. Canadjun,
I am deducing from your comments that you have zero intention of engaging either my intellect or my humanity.
Is this deduction of mine about your intention accurate?.
Are you willing to replace your insults, your innuendo and your indictment with your money?.
Are you aware that I am engaged in an academic debate with Mr. Cecil Adams?.

White Zombie is the epitome of suck! :eek:
An infinity of uncountable nouns! Yaaaay! 
That might be your intent, but since The Perfect Master [AKA Cecil Adams] has not shown up in this thread, it would seem that you, in fact, are not engaged in an academic debate with Him (PBUH), but rather, with the rest of the rabble that worships at His feet. :rolleyes:
To Mr. Klaus_K,
I commend you on your having identified the theme of my scripts.
I am human. I am exhibiting a biological urge to protect my humanity.
This is all that there is to my scripts.

To Mr. Canadjun,
I believe that your advice is a wholesome piece of advice.
Why are you not taking it?.

You are not engaged in an academic debate with Cecil Adams. He’s in all likelihood not even reading your posts. If you want to ask him a question, go back to the Straight Dope front page and click on “Ask the Master.” If he finds your question interesting, he might answer it. Continuing to post here will get you nowhere.
To Mr. Cheshire Human,
I apologise for my having mistaken your place of worship for a forum for academic discussion (a venue for the exhibiting of humanity at).
I was not aware that religion was being practiced here at the “straight dope” web site.
I am aware of the value fairness.
If I am not willing to worship your master, I must abstain from doing my duty on your territory.
I am removing myself from the sphere of your master’s influence.
I wish you everything that you wish for.
J. Johan Pallen.
If you do your duty on this territory, you had better clear it up afterwards!
My very dear Mr Pallen
You won’t get very far with your studies of the English language unless you start recognising the use of:
(1) Metaphor, and
(2) Irony
(None of us have actually seen Cecil Adams’ feet, let alone got close enough to actually perform religious rituals in their near vicinity.)
Piddle on Cecil. He is the mere Perfect Master. I, on the other hand, am the Pluperfect Master.
- more than perfect: He spoke the language with pluperfect precision.
If you want to duel, do so with someone of your strength. Pick your dictionary. (Current definitions only, of course. No obsolete or historical usages.)
We’ll start at ten paces, the traditional dueling distance. Then after each round we will approach a fractional percentage of the distance toward one another.
You may pick your second. I am allergic to anims so I would prefer that you stick to those who are humane. I will accept robotos, alienis, androods, and socko puppetus.

I would have guessed that it was a biological urge to suck tit. I could be wrong. 
To Mr. Cheshire Human,
I apologise for my having mistaken your place of worship for a forum for academic discussion…
That was a joke, son. Stop biting my ankles! Grandma knows how to suck eggs!

WHAT! Was I doing “metaphore” and “irony”? I feel so “dirty”! Perfect Master, come and wash me!

How about answering the question? Repeating what I said before - So, what do **you **think the word “humane” means? You might want to check a dictionary or two before you answer.
