I like the way I use the English language.

If I may stop tooting my own horn long enough to - well - toot my own horn, I am proud of my writing style. I think it's rather distinctive.

None of you are going to reply to this, and it's early in the morning. So... I might as well indulge my ego.

[datasuspect]

1. your style is clear and concise

and brevity is the soul of wit. yes, you write well.

[elperromagico]

2. I am disappointed that someone replied to this.

I was hoping it would sink into the Archives with barely a whimper.

While I do have a healthy ego, I don't like for a lot of people to know that I have a healthy ego.

4. you don't get off that easy

why not bask in the glory.

use what the good lord gave ya!

[elperromagico]

6. If this is glory, I'll have to reconsider

the whole "fame and fortune" thing.

3. The English called.

They don't. Further, your language is absolutely devoid of any humor.

5. I don't care what them Engloids have to say.

They don't even drive on the right side of the street.

8. First of all . . .

. . . the typographical character "-" is not a recognized substitute for the comma. Your use of "-" shows a laziness unacceptable to proper English language scholars.

Second, no apostrophe is need for "its." Putting an apostrophe between the t and s is error.

Third, "I think" preceding "its rather distinctive" is superfluous. We know you think it; otherwise you would not have typed it.

Fourth, you again attempted to substitute the comma with other characters, namely, "..." after the word "So." VERY sloppy.

Finally, you placed a comma after "this" followed by "and." "And" is a connector. Therefore, no comma was needed preceding.

Please, in the future, refrain from tooting your horn in such an embarrassing manner.

Thanks,

Floog

9. Floog, you ignorant slut. First, "it's" is a contraction of "it is."

"it's rather distinctive" = "it is rather distinctive"

If I had said "it's rather distinctive style is something I'm proud of," then you would be correct. Unfortunately, you are wrong in this instance.

Second, I did not claim that my writing style was stylistically perfect; that is an assumption you have made. My only statement was that I am proud of the language I use.

Furthermore, the grammar police are becoming quite lax in their standards if they have allowed you to join their honored ranks.

Please, in the future, refrain - from - replying to - posts - while your head - is... up... your... ass............................

Much love,

epm :D
