Wonderful. Now the symbol nazis are here.
This thread is being godwinized to death. 
Ha! A correction of a correction in a spelling thread, and the spelling mistakes multiply! (Or are we being whooshed here?)
It’s “grammar” and “weird”.
Its Gaderes low.
Yes, I know, and even Fowler, and Partridge, way back in nineteen-canteen, said that a determination to avoiding splitting infinitives would often lead to clumsier constructions than would otherwise be the case, but it’s rotten of you to deny me my little bit of fun, dammit! 
All righty, how about if I leave the split infinitives to look after themselves, but I take up splitting hairs?
Or even hares.
AH, but then PETA would get me. :eek:
May I splits HARAs? Just for fun?
No, but you can SPLIT them.
Hahaha - Shit, I just knew that Gaudere’s Law would catch up with me. :smack:

Uh?
Please ignore that. I didn’t realise there was another page of posts.
Post jucundam juventutem

Why such exhistential nihilism, are we not having fun?
<La, La, La Live for today…>
Just word assoication - Gaudere’s name sent me back, time-warpily, and tardis-like, to university and my keyboard was just thinking out loud.
Be fair, though, I did stop before the miserable bit.
I think there is an E in warpily. Does your keyboard often think out loud? What does it think? 
It thinks of words it wot not of, “warpily” being a case in point.
Look, I bet I invented it, so I can spell it! Bah!
So, how long before someone turns up with proof of “warpily”, with or without an “e”, having been used since 1350 ish, and being ultimately derived from Sanskrit or similar?
If it turns out to be a real word, then at least that’s a bit of ignorance fought.
Well, I must be an A-RA myself, because I can’t help discounting the speaker a tad for each spelling, and especially grammatical error s/he makes. Obviously typos don’t bother me as much - they’re the product of fast fingers and a mind that sees what it expects when proof-reading. But spelling, and more particularly grammar and punctuation errors suggest a lack of reading (or ability to learn from what you read). This is not necessarily the case, but it’s what is suggested.
This obviously does not apply to people whose first language is not English - they get extra points for communicating at all in a second language! But forget about L33T speak - I don’t even try to figure it out. The people who have developed it clearly have gone out of their way to exclude writers/readers of simple English, so why barge in on their party?
Celyn and askeptic, after driving me to the Latin-English dictionary (my Latin days ended 30 years ago and I wasn’t any good then), you leave me with only:
Dum vivimus, vivamus!
Actually that should be “dum vivimus, vivamus”
THANK YOU! You are my new best friend! It astonishes me how many people don’t seem to know that. It’s especially irksome when I see it in advertising.
Nooooo. Unless I’ve been mistaken all these years, which is always totally possible, the thing that keeps me from saying, “badly” is the opposites rule. You would never say, “goodly”. Actually, if you did, I would point and laugh and call you a geek for using renspeak.
Little help here? Please?
What is renspeak?
Oops - Now I have learned what renspeak be.
