Prufrock

You really should run your posts through a spell-check if you are going to try and preach to us about the corect use of English, especially after your shoddiness has been pointed out more than once. That's before we start on your punctuation and grammar. As for the split infintive, yes that's kind ...

[ You're kind of right SOTWA, in that my English has definately improved from using the site. I find that reading is the most effective way of improving an individuals standard of English anyway, and it's stood me in good stead throughout my life; as a youngster I read lots and it definately facill...

Prufrock

you guess wrong prufrock, i'm not a communist, you see you've done what religious people do, had a gap in your understanding and filled it with a vague assumption, do you think Insane Apache is mad, a native american or both? Bruce Rioja made of spanish red wine? (Actually there may be some truth i...

however relating to this thread, i would like to point out that, 19 or not, as a classicist and linguist, this is my area of expertise. anyone who has done classics to a high level has to have a very good understanding of english grammar, dare i even suggest my knowledge of english grammar is proba...

Prufrock

Prufrock, my comments were not some sort of attack on you although some were indeed directed to you. Perhaps I have been guilty of being unclear and leaving what I thought to be implicit in my comments unsaid; if that has led to an impression by readers that I am being patronising then so be it and...

"adverse" is still incorrectly used, it shoudln't be there at all. it's is only your perception that makes it adverse, the scientologists don't see it adverse. That aside, you can't have it both ways, those things you criticise scientology of could be said of your own religion very easily. And why ...

Prufrock

All I can offer, after reading all of the foregoing presentations, is Good Grief! I make no claim as to the language known as English being better or more subtle than any other, nor do I claim a command of such. The written form of English, as no doubt applies in other languages, does overcome the ...

Prufrock

I can sense this thread being dragged into the depths. By the way Prufrock, have you got something against commas as well as the apostrophe? Just asking in a friendly way. :wink: On the topic of "barrer boy Cockernee": The language of the North of England was, a couple of years ago, stated to be th...

Nothing whatsoever wrong with the discussion Prufrock, twas very civilised and enjoyable. It can continue that way for me. The rest is past history and best left alone. good good. anyway i think this thread went off topic a little. what are people's views on scientology? not so much the faith itsel...

Prufrock

well until the last few posts. hadnt read those properly. i really hope people can discuss religion like anything else, something than can be critisised and defended, but within reason and at the end of the day with everyones right to their own beliefs upheld. i think an important part of life is to...

Prufrock

A debate on religion and second -in -command atheist Lennon hasn't appeared? Amazing, has he been converted? :wink: As you are fully aware Lennon was banned for life for his disagreements with you. I would have thought that such an advocate of Christianity that you would have asked for him to be fo...

i first started using text speak when i was texting the long teenage love essays we were so fond of, i used it then to save cash. My, she must have been swept off her feet. :wink: seeing as i missed out 'when i was texting my ex girlfriend ...' im gonna say this before anyone else does....who said ...

Prufrock

so someone who studies the Shroud of Turin. I seem to recall them running some carbon date tests on it about ten years ago and they all dated it back only as far as about the 14th Century. Summat like that anyway. :? A little more controversy since then: Tests are currently underway on the Shroud b...

Prufrock

Prufrock mate, your :wink2: still wrong. The English language goes through cycles of slang fashion which are the norm for a while then quickly forgotten about as the next batch of slang hits the population. We don't use the same slang that the 60s popular culture used, just as in 30 years time they...

Prufrock: English is fast taking over as the number one world language. It's always been in the top three together with Spanish and Mandarin Chinese; now, with the immigration element, more people than ever are learning it. Why should such a powerful language with a long history of gradual movement...
