Like you downplayed the difference between a typo and a conscious error earlier. English is not a prescripted language. If I was speaking in French, you could throw all the accusations of butchery that you wanted. However, I'm not. Get over yourself, you have lost, and for every piece of evidence you can summon up, I can summon up one as well proving the opposite, as I already have. It's over.


1. There was no downplaying the difference between a typo and a conscious error. A conscious error is when someone makes a mistake because they think, wrongly, that it is not a mistake. When called out on that mistake they will try to defend it using their incorrect information. This is what you did when I pointed out how woefully improper your sentence structure was.

A typo, on the other hand, is when someone says "oops, that's not what I meant to do" when someone points out an error they made and they take responsibility for it. Example: me taking responsibility for using "you're" incorrectly (I write at over 100 WPM, often times I have to edit several times by the time I'm done. Sometimes I miss things, as do you, as would Jesus if he existed/typed). Example: You not trying to defend mispelling words.

How do you know the difference? When someone uses "you're" correctly 8 times out of 9, chances are it's a careless typo made from writing very fast. When they immediately say "yes, that was a mistake" you know it's a typo. When someone spells "thinking" wrong (you in this case), but you feel fine giving them the benefit of the doubt that they know better... that's a typo.

Don't try to pretend that the difference is at all unclear to you. You're not intelligent, but you're not nearly as stupid as you sometimes try to be for the sake of winning argument points.


2. English has basic rules governing the proper way to build sentences. Some can be bent, but sentence structure is not 100% free flowing. You can't completely bastardize the rules of sentence structure and then say "I'm not breaking the rules", and then get shown you're breaking the rules and in the same breath go "well I never cared about those rules anyway".

It's not that you broke the speed limit, it's that you tried to drive on the wrong side of the road in a giant flaming dump truck.

3. Evidence has been provided to shut you down. You have provided almost no evidence whatsoever beyond "this is what I believe" and "my 100000 friends tell me I'm a wonderful flower and my teachers say I'm amazing". Learn the difference.

4. In order to prove the opposite, you need to argue properly and try to use actual, verifiable evidence. Until you try that, you're done.


Game over, try again tomorrow.

Late at night English words and sentences get together in the dim glow of the campfire and tell haunting tales of Vermillion the "Slayer of Syntax" in hushed, frightened tones.

A heartless yet clueless monster who viciously and mercilessly preys upon them without care or concern to the torment he inflicts, he is the creature they tell their children will eat them if they don't do their chores. He is unrepentant, as most oblivious people are. That is his greatest threat: how little he knows about how much damage he does.

He is Vermillion, and he is their daily holocaust.


In fact, the EiR soldiers unlucky enough to be assigned to his bumbling, useless and directionless battalions see him in a similar fashion.

Do you think it's the Jesus up Vermilion's Bum that's causing him to act like that?

Would explain the awkward English and all.

Wind and Vermillion, next time could you please refrain from having your pie throwing contest in a PM form.

Not only due to the fact that in this state your discussion in my opinion at least becomes more of a drama tv-show between to younger individuals wearing manchester jackets and over sized glasses, debating around the fact on why we understand and belive in the effects of the higsbozon, but not in a higher spiritual existance.

Secondly, it also creates, again in my opinion, a negative place and view on whom ever has the "stronger" support from cumminity.

I guess what I am really tryin to say is please stfu and get a room;)

Oh and pardon my grammatical and spellin errors Wink
