No because you're reffering to past tense, I'm reffering to present tense.
You still think I I thought you were reffering to me.

It means, in a joking manner. If you don't understand a word, there is a dictionary. I'm not embarrassed to say that I use it frequently to refine what I'm saying or clarify my understanding of what someone else has said.Originally Posted by Jon L. Obscene
Why should I refrain from using a word, on the possibility that it's not in your own personal lexicon.Originally Posted by Jon L. Obscene
Given the context and the look of the word it's pretty easy to divine it's meaning anyway.
So why did he not just say "I don't understand"?
I did'nt understand that word, so the use of it is no different to what you are acusing me of with confusing people with spelling mistakes, difference being, mine are unintentional, that word was typed intentionally and is probably used by a very small percentage of people, educated upper class word is what it is, fik workers like me don't understand it.

I'm not educated and I knew what it meant.Originally Posted by Jon L. Obscene
There is a difference, that being someone using real words as opposed to slang or misspelled words. Real words can be looked up to understand their meaning. Slang or misspelled words aren't always as easy to decipher.

Any slang you care to mention I can find you a meaning.
And yes you are educated, you know you have a much higher mental ability than me.
You have qualifications........that makes you educated, I don't have any qualifications.
You also told me you passed English 95%.......that makes you educated in the english language.

How, exactly, am I educated? You've completed a higher level of education than I have.Originally Posted by Jon L. Obscene

GSCE is the equivalent of our high school, correct? You completed it. I didn't. My final year of high school, I missed half the year because of surgery. I didn't get my credits, even though I had a 96% average, because I had missed too many classes. I didn't go back the following year to complete it because I got pregnant and subsequently got married.Originally Posted by Jon L. Obscene
Higher marks doesn't mean more educated. You'd get a job more easily than I would simply because you have a diploma (or the equivalent) which I don't.
Most knowledge I've achieved is through reading, self teaching, or hands on experience, not formal education.
Exactly, you have educated yourself more than I have, ok so you don't got a certificate....nor have I come to that cos I never collected it, I cheated to get my grades proving that I don't deserve them which is why I did'nt pick them up.
The fact you averaged 96% proves you are better educated than me in general.
Big up Nik, I'm making you look good here take it as a compliment
