This impinges upon my mental well-being because I can easily dismiss the tawdry disregard of grammar when it comes to the patently stupid, but when someone who clearly knows better chooses to slight his or her reader in this way ... I feel a mild but persistent ache envelop my senses.
it is mental, it is a problem and I consider it to be as relevant as a very relevant thing to this thread.

You don't respect books. You break their bindings. You doodle in their margins.

Anyways, I haven't read a book type papery book for well over a year. Kind Les put paid to that a while back.
While I've never gone to the extreme of physically correcting a book with a magenta pen, I have stopped reading authors if their grammar is shite. It pleases me to do so.
Also, I can't correct Idol, he's is in the same category as Arty. Both particularly erudite and capable of constructing any number of grammatically perfect sentences.
Except they don't :dabs:
I didn't miss it. I thought it was brilliant. I just wanted to drown it in a sea of comma-induced abominations.Quote:

It seems writers cater to an audience of 9th graders on a regular basis. My latest book was Iago - all I can say that book is a gigantic shite stain on the English authorship community.
I fool women into thinking the same thing about my sexual capabilities. Sooner or later though they come to the realization though that appearances aside this is as good as it's ever going to get. :(Quote:

Btw I realize I'm assuming a lot here but overall I find assumption is far less time intensive and taking the time to actually learn something.:)
If you make your comma too large, it becomes a slash. Walk that line, manker.Quote:

That was definitely the most complimentary post I've ever written about you. Its pinnacle is unlikely to ever be surpassed.
Grammar is pips for the most part and yours is most likely on a par with mine, I wasn't denigrating that. I take issue with your lackadaisical application thereof.
I'm intrigued by him but as yet still staying away from his work in favour of robot stuff - did you know he's also a poet. It's enough to put you off your pint.Quote:

It seems he's flavour of the month all of a sudden. I was only moderately aware of him this time last month but since Squeams noticed chavois posting about him in movieworld and tried to impress him by subsequently mentioning him in the lounge, the chap's completely ubiquitous.
I hear she even bought his entire back catalogue in some car-boot sale, just to entice yon Irish love-hunk into sending her cawk pics.
The world's run mad.

Go on.... you know you secretly want to ask for the sandwich back. :naughty: You're just too straight laced to admit that you want to smear it all over yourself. :blink:
It's a thread about old jokes, grammar, awkward compliments, currently living Beatles members, fecal sandwiches (as well as rejecting the consumption of), and last but not least, irony. It's also about, as I attempted to enforce, commas, lots and lots of commas.Quote:

But I just looked like some chick with a retardation in sentence structure.Quote:

You see Manky, now he's just pulling my pigtails in an attempt to convince everyone he doesn't want to bear my children. but I know the truth. Oh yes.
Yeah so I got as far as 'my pigtails' and my mind's eye pulled me off in a different direction entirely.
I'll be in my bunk :ermm:
Was it SoN with pigtails by any chance? :rolleyes:Quote:
