Ruthie: Don't Pm Me

[Busyman]

Can't imagine why anyone would want to put Busyman on ignore...his posts tend to be entertaining and often passionate....meh....and dumb at times but even the great BM isn't infallible...

I say, keep up the good work just don't forget to replace that tongue firmly in cheek once the alcohol wears off...

Well make sure you've washed then and stop rolling over. If you ask me to do something, don't make it difficult.

btw I am unfalllable. So fuck awf!!1!1!1!!

Now that's a double negative.

Meaning that the Great Busyman (ahem) is fallible.

The earlier example doesn't work for me because to remove both negative aspects we're left with 'there are posts to which I will bite back'. This is not a positive absolute - which was the writer's intent to convey. It is therefore flawed.

In fact the whole construction of the sentence is on shaky ground

Edit: As an aside the double negative is often seen, by me, to be indicative of clumsy or inelegant prose. Is it not worse to leave them out altogether.

Ok then.....Sara is fallible.

btw she was conveying I am fallible. So you just gramatickulized for nothin'.

@manker, mate do you provide such a thing as headache tablets and an idiots guide to mankerisms, I apparently missed the day we covered 'the writings and other stuff' of Mr m.anker

your posts are given me a sore head and a lesson in advanced English.

please to be sticking to simplistic terminology or better still numbers henceforth, or from now on whichever is sooner

I just chalk it up to being a geek English teacher and call it a day. Forget the headaches

So, a worthwhile post all around then, we're agreed

Nope not at all. You merely explained which was already understood by all. You further killed many of Zero Cool's braincells in the process....wait a minute.......I guess it was worthwhile, nvm.
