Who can call English their own?

Yes you do. Why else keep coming back and back? How many user names? You care but, we don't give a jot about what you care about. Mods, pls don't ban her. She is a source of wonderful entertainment.


Phyleeks never claimed they were the same. You were the one to bring it up. Who cares? Not us.


Yes.


And you are in a perpetual state of doubt.


Learn from you or stay ignorant? We prefer ignorance.


Royal Society of ... (what)?


Name one.


I agree.


Obvious.


The ability to recognise typos is a sign of intellectual superiority.


Pearls of wisdom.


We know.

Time to know when you are beaten WRT.

If you were a man, you'd know that.

As I said, PUT UP or SHUT UP.

But stop prattling on and on and on with your tedious accusatory rants. And PLEASE look up 'evidence' in a dictionary eh? Look up 'opinion' too. These are NOT the same. If you have learnt that from this message board, then you have been a very good little boy.

Best really if you just F off eh? You have shown yourself to be a retard - a fool, an abusive, ignorant, libellous tosser.

I shall not now or ever answer your demands or questions. Why? Because you are most definitely not worth it, Melissa.

So grow up and accept that you have lost the argument. That is what a man would do... In Britain, at least.

PUT UP OR SHUT UP MAN!

I agree, Melissa ain't worth a fig.


I'm not. According to you, I am the Right Honourable Melissa, What a Retarted Tosser.

I really don't know that for sure. There is no proof that you are an English teacher. All the evidence I posses are from the Brits I know personally. I don't know you; so, I don't know if you really are an English teacher. However, I do know two professors from Aberdeen; and they contradict your arguments.

So tell me, if you were I, would you think that OE is correct or wrong? Also, I never insulted you. Why then would you call me a "moron"? I have not even called you "Melissa", like the rest of the people in this forum. Is this really how "Highly Educated British Teachers and Authors" act? If this is the way highly educated people act, then there is no shame in being a moron.


I'm an ESL. This is an ESL mistake. However, this mistake is forgivable compared to the "blaring punctuation mistakes" you make. I'm simply quoting my British friend who is a professor in Scotland's Aberdeen University. I feel that he is more credible than you are.

lol Ms. genius here still hasn't answered the numerous questions presented to her about her fallacious comments she had made previously, especially concerning her total lack of knowledge on the British health care system; her anti-semetic and prejudiced comments about certain ethnic groups; her claim that the USSR entered WW2 in 1941; and that America was named after a Welsh gentlemen.

Not only does she skirt the questions, and has been doing so for weeks now, she tries these comebacks that are just plain idiotic.

So superbrain, what ya got to say now?

YOUR 'FRIEND' AT ABERDEEN UNIVERSITY IS WRONG - END OF! You may think he is more crredible than I am but you are wrong. Aberdeen used to be a good university too - no longer I fear if they employ illiterates to teach English. Tsss.

'Many fewer people' is grammatically correct. Now, of you want to side with mediocre lecturers then that is your choice - but it's like the blind leading the blind. But be aware, I am far more educated than most - including lecturers ('professors' as you wrongly state), and so you should really just shut up and admit you are wrong. Or you will stay an ignorant pidgin English speaker all your life. Your choice.

My punctuation IS NOT WRONG! How many time do I have to tell you? (Are you specail needs or a slow learner? You are certainly acting like one!) Punctuation is NOT fixed - it is ALL ABOUT CONTEXT! There are NO FIRM AND FAST RULES AS THERE ARE IN SPELLING!

So my little yellow friend, in the context of a cheap little message board full of retards - one can use any punctuation or lack thereof that one wishes. It is APPROPRIATE USAGE FOR THE CONTEXT.

There is not punctuation on English used in signage.

For formal English, formal punctuation is needed - such as semi-colons (;).

In a legal context, commas are never used because of the ambiguity they can cause.

Your truly DUMB accusation of my "blaring punctuation mistakes" (You mean 'glaring' actually - mistakes are not a car horn) I supposedly make IS ABSURD - because on a message board like this - an informal, online context - THERE IS NO SUCH THING!!!!

Very few people can write excellent formal English with perfect spelling and punctuation - but I can. This however is NOT the context in which to write or punctuate like that. DO YOU UNDERSTAND OR DO YOU WANT SOME EXTRA LESSONS? And by the way, what I say DOES NOT contradict the Oxford dictionary AT ALL! LIES from you too as well as the usual retard suspects here. I have over 20 dictionatries and so I know my stuff BOY!

Stay stupid and ignorant of you want Asian Writer. Your choice. Most people are stupid and cannot use the English language well or appropriately. I can. That however puts me in a small minority so it is no surprise then to find ill-educated and ignorant people, and those who think their degrees from retard universities make them right, disagreeing with me. In fact, au contraire - THEY PROVE THAT I AM RIGHT.

MANY FEWER PEOPLE is correct. As is MANY MORE PEOPLE. As is MUCH LESS/MORE COFFEE. Can you see now? One cannot say MUCH LESS PEOPLE because PEOPLE acts as a plural noun. YOUR RETARDED LECTURER IN ABERDEEN IS WRONG WRONG WRONG. END OF. Tssss. The Morons in academia these days - he probably bought his degree online anyway...

A comma (Or COMA!!!! AS WRT SAYS! HA HA HA WRT!!!!! HA HA HA!!!!) CANNOT join separate clause except in certain cases

A dialect and an accent are NOT the same thing - and we have both in English.

There are NO fixed rules for punctuation: it ALL depends on the context in which English is used. Appropriate punctuation is what is required - always.

Punctuation cannot have an S on the end because it is an uncountable or mass noun.

If you learn these facts, your English may improve. If not, you'll stay ignorant and a poor user of English.

Me learny the In-gwish... Yeah right... THEN START LEARNING IT PROPERLY FROM AN EXPERT!

Or stay stupid. Your choice.

Melissa can make mistakes, but is an idiot for persisting in her error.
As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot (And guess who is behind the `British male,' OxbridgeExpert?)
Let us all applaud Oxbridge's bravery for she's not afraid to look like an idiot.

WRT - CHOSEN TO STAY STUPID I SEE!

My GOD I am having such a laugh at your expense here - in fact, we are all sitting around laughing our heads off at What a Retarded Tosser!

Ignorant, ill-educated, retarded, moronic, lying, little gobshi.

Go Melissa! KILL THE C!

The foolish laugh at wisdom as they are brain-dead and cannot comprehend the intelligent.


Those lowdown forum scoundrels deserves to be kicked to death by a J-A, and Melissa is just the one to do it

Following are just some of the errors in Post #148 by OxbridgeExperiment:


That is utterly incorrect usage of apostrophes, and OxbridgeExperiment commits the sin repeatedly. The only circumstance in which apostrophes may serve the purpose of quotation marks is when one includes a quotation within a quotation. The secondary quotation receives the apostrophes in place of quotation marks.


That is utterly incorrect usage of a hyphen.


The necessary comma after "lecturers" is missing. "Then" is absolutely unnecessary.


A proper sentence may not end with a preposition.


The necessary comma after "university" is missing. That is also utterly incorrect usage of a hyphen.


There should be a comma after both "longer" and "fear."


That is utterly incorrect usage of a hyphen, which OxbridgeExperiment repeats with brazen ignorance.


That is utterly incorrect usage of a hyphen. "Punctuation" should be followed by a comma.


Blatant racism aside, when using multiple adjectives, one must-if at all concerned about sound writing-separate each of those adjectives with a comma.


Nonsense. Regardless of the venue or context, certain punctuation is absolutely mandatory. Only a mouth-breathing simpleton would claim otherwise.


Nothing about your poisonous grammar and punctuation is "appropriate." Truly qualified writers aren't capable of writing poorly.


What language is that, exactly?


There is nothing "formal" about a semi-colon. Qualified writers know exactly how and why to use a semi-colon; you couldn't possibly understand.


That's complete rubbish. To claim that commas are "never" used in legal documents is asinine.


Sorry, but capitalizing "you" is incorrect.


Please educate yourself. My goodness-are you not aware that words often have multiple meanings? "Blaring" also means "flamboyant" or "loud" in inaudible presentation.


The more proper, fluid form is "However, this is NOT . . . ."


Regularly beginning sentences with "or," "and," or "but" is generally poor, amateur practice. OxbridgeExperiment does so repeatedly.


One doesn't "say" anything on a message board. (Believe it or not, we can't actually hear OxbridgeExperiment's Neanderthal-like grunts.)


The comma is your friend.


The comma is your friend.


The comma is your friend.

That however puts

The more proper, fluid form is "However, that puts . . . ."

no surprise then to find

"Then" is absolutely unnecessary.

who think their degrees

I'm fed up with Oxbridge[i]Experiment's incessant, ignorant omission of "that."


The comma is your friend.


That is improper sentence structure (i.e., a "sentence fragment").


The comma is your friend.


Please, please, PLEASE do not purport to have even the slightest knowledge of how to properly employ commas.


Nonsense.


There is no such thing as "venue-appropriate" punctuation. There are only two types of punctuation: "correct" and "incorrect."

Thank You!!!!!!

English lecturer, the floor is now yours. Care to respond? (If you had any self-respect, you'd be `floored').

WritersBeware is an Illiterate, ill-educated, lying, libellous, retarded American twit and I shall certainly not read a word of the utterly incorrect and erroneous retarded messages he posts. He is a GREAT BIG NOTHING who thinks he knows everything - like most dumb Amercicans. Also, he has connections with scam essay site *********. Care to deny that WB?

PUNCTATION has NO FIXED RULES and is entirely dependent on context - it is all about what is appropriate. Any other opinion is garbage. No change there then from retarded American tossers on here.

WritersBeware is an ignorant and ill-educated retard - his views mean NOTHING AT ALL

YOU ARE WRONG; I AM RIGHT. END OF.

Your posts prove that. But I DO NOT CARE if you want to stay stupid - in America, that is standard for all people, so you must fit in real well nig er-hater.

QED

My points are ALL proven by your dumb responses.

I am right and I do not respond to filthy scumbag morons who think they know better than I.

But thank you WB - I shall use your post to illustrate to my students that a little learning is a very dangerous thing and to show just how many people simply cannot use the English language properly.

RETARD!

So SAD and yet SO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!! HA HA HA!!!!!!!

HILARIOUS!!!!!

IGNORANT!

WB - are you EFL by any chance? Coz you speekie deee Enger-wish like dem person do in dat ghetto like dem nig gaz who dem not speekie good right?

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

WRITERSBEWARE - NOT ONLY ARE YOU AN ESSAY SCAMMER WHO SCAMS STUDENTS VIA ********* - YOU ARE ALSO A RETARDED ILLITERATE IGNORANT MORONIC CRETIN!!!

UTTER RETARDED SCUM

HA HA HA! GOD I FEEL SO EDUCATED WHEN READING YOUR PIDGIN INGER-WISH!!!!

GO BACK TO SCHOOL DUMBBOY - AND LEARN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE - OH BUT I FORGOT, TEACHERS IN THE UNITED STATES OF RETARDS ARE JUST AS ILLITERATE AS YOU!!!!!!!!!

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH! AMERICAN TRASH ALERT!!!!!!

OxbridgeExpert is a dummy dumb dumb

OxbridgeExperiment clearly can't refute the FACTS that I posted about its deplorable skills with the written/typed word. The side effects of the experiment have also made it utterly incapable or rational debate. Sad.

Mod, I think that I've proven my point quite clearly. I would like this creature gone. I refuse to actively participate in this forum if the ignorant, hateful, blatantly racist creature remains. I will not expose myself-or anyone else in my home-to its ugliness any longer. When I see a distinct sign that you have banned the creature, I will once again contribute.

I agree and am sure that many others feel the same way. Several regulars are already doing that.

If you're the only one who's RIGHT, and the rest of the world is WRONG, doesn't that actually make you wrong?


Actually, I'm rather fair-skinned. I'm half Malay and half Spanish. And, again, "yellow" is usually used to describe the Chinese. Do you have a thing for Chinese people, ABO?


So says you... Why are you so mad at everything, ABO?
