I don’t care what you want to show me.

I don’t care what you think is ok.

I don’t care what you think is a statement.

I don’t care what you think is pathetic.

I don’t care what you want to ask me.

I don’t care what you think is nice.

Yeah. That would be the trickle discharge that I think most people agree is most likely. But a fella can dream!

I doubt that this is a trend, but man it would be nice if it were! I have no illusions about Twitter failing quickly, or even that it might fail before it gains even more steam (maybe even in fits and starts over the next few years), but if value-adders, like Nibel, quit providing content, the site will definitely…

Ha ha ha! The best part is, you actually BELIEVE you don’t look like a fool!

It’s sad that you think a glorified style guide is what “English” is. Ask Oxford how much they give a shit about Harvard’s self-imposed rules. If you would just do what I told you and look for the dissenting opinion, you’d see just how many different style guides for English there are out there. But don’t let me trick…

This situation is going to leave a lot of people sour, and rightfully so, but the net result seems pretty positive, to me? Bayo gets a top-notch VO, Platinum gets to pay for it fairly, the internet got to chew on paying people for their work for a week or so, and the original VO will fade into obscurity now that the…

I think I will “[...]go on doing life wrong”.

Ha ha ha! That’s it! Reach, boy! Reach, or you’ll never feel like you beat me!

The problem, as is often the case, is that you’re trying to apply one discipline to another (math to linguistics). If I tried to use linguistics in math, the math teacher would be right to fail me. And if you tried to use your arguments in an English class, the teacher would be right to fail you.

Ha ha ha! Wow! You can read! So now, let’s try “critical thinking”. You cited what the rule was, now can you tell me WHY the rule is the rule?

You might want to learn what quotations are for. Everything you ‘quoted’ was not, in fact, something I said. I never used equality, at all. That’s your own flawed reading. I’m sorry you’re having a rough go of semiotics, but feel free to try again! The only way to fail is to give up before you understand.

In all cases? In every scenario?

If you’re going to try to out-pedant the pedant to try and sound smart, then you should know WHY people think that the period goes inside the quotation marks.

lol cope

Analogies are about structure, not magnitude. At no point did I equivocate. What you’re doing, here, is dishonest. You’re not engaging with what I said, but what you want me to have said. Feel free to carry on, just don’t think there’s any value in including me in your flights of fancy.
