Is English becoming a second language in America?

My standards have not "shifted" to anything other then what the truth of the matter is, the fact that for some reason you jumped in and attacked someone for not providing YOU all the information YOU felt should have been provided. I do not have an ignorance of guns, but you think what you will assclown.

Please explain to me you ignorant troll, exactly how it is that because I did not specifically state for YOUR edification that it was a .357 SIG vice a .357 MAGNUM that I am the "child" that I am the "stupid one" that I am the one that has a problem? What is it that you repeatedly fail to understand and comprehend? You are the ONLY one that has a problem with me over this posting, as for why I am still waiting on an explaination. My not adding SIG or MAGNUM is absolutely not an issue with anyone else but you, and in absolutely no way indicates or as you like to see things preve I have a lack of knowledge in weapon ballistics. It has been pointed out that you have done the very same think concerning the .22 round, but it is acceptable for you to do, right? When and where did I piss in your cheerio's to warrant the blatant attack from you?

No but if I were, I would ensure that self rightous, pompus asses like you don't own computers or guns!

So it is "ok" for you to make mistakes, but no one else. It is ok for you to jump on some one for omitting a very small piece of information, only to turn around and do the very same thing? Double standards once again, are you related to Al Sharpton and/or Jesse Jackson?

Ya know, at least I have enough "respect" for a lowlife, self righteous pompous ass to use his "proper" screen name. To bad that at the age of 58 you don't have the same respect.

Silly lil boy , the following is from one of your posts:

He doesn't know what the hell he is talking about Roy, his head is too far up Snotard ass to hear, read, or write in a manner that every one else can understand. About the only thing that we could all understand and slightly agree on was we were all sick of the Bible thumping. Talk about double standards. Now if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

I can see my efforts are paying off! You are speaking in more complete sentences. Your run on sentences are becoming MUCH shorter. Your grammatical and spelling errors are becoming fewer. Congratulations. You see how easy it is, if one just thinks a bit.

I'll let the "vice" thing slide, as I don't want to criticize an otherwise good piece of writing from you. Keep up the good work.

I was a little disappointed at the end there, though, when you said

"> No but if I were, I would ensure that self rightous, pompus asses like you

You were doing good until then. People who are a lot better than you at taking away our rights are out there right now trying to do this very thing. Perhaps you could contact them if you think you are qualified to be on their team. They're always looking for gullible misinformed followers. Just remember that you'd have to give up your gun and computer, too.

Again, kudos on your improved writing.

Steve

A typo of an S for a D pales by your following statement:

No but if I were, I would ensure that self rightous, pompus asses like you don't own computers or guns!

self rightous pompus

Congratulations on getting "ensure" right, though? Is that one of your new spelling words this week?

Steve

Oh but it is a "mistake" that is "allowed" by you but no one else can make them. This is the crux of this situation, not the fact that a mistake was made by anyone, but that you attacked some one for making an incomplete statement (at least as you saw it) than you went on to do the same very thing. Yet, when you were called on it (very politely I might add unlike the manner in which you did) you retreated with tucked tail and started on the spelling, grammar and math skills of others.

Ironically enough, you STILL have not explained why you felt it necessary to jump in and attack the way you did. Is it because you are trying to defend Snoman? Against what? There is a HUGE difference between he and I, first my post was not in direct reply to someone asking a question or seeking help as where he has a habit of doing so with useless information. Would you like examples? Second when I do reply directly to someone in need of help the information I provide is not detrimental or harmful as where his on many (though not all cases) is. Again would you like examples?

Again Steve, what exactly is it that popped your cork about my post, other than I omitted either SIG or MAGNUM? What is so ungodly hard about explaining your actions?

your efforts are always appreciated dweeb.

What is so ungodly hard about

IIRC, the whole thing started with your statements about jumping up in the middle of the dark and stormy night and shooting at every movement and sound with your ".357". And then, I took exception of that from a safety standpoint, and we were off to the races from there.

Did you get it that time, Pookie?

Steve

In the sober light of midday I realize I made more than a few grammatical mistakes. I guess I shouldn't sit down at the computer with glass of wine after a long walk with the dogs. "You're" in place of "your" is the most embarrasing; I really do know the difference. When I see a mistake as bad as "Many people here can't write _that_ well" I assume (that pesky little verb, again) that Professor Steve B. must have his grammar mostly correct and didn't see the redundancy of "people."

Why did you not correct him in when you corrected me? After all, he's the one who wrote such a heart felt essay on the subject of the English language.

As to "metericious," I meant "meretricious;" I left out an "re" near the beginning. One day I may actually use a spell checker, but for now I choose to live on the wild side as a means to improve my spelling.

I disagree with the "comma" comment, but maybe that's because I don't know between which two words you refer because my news reader shows your correction in the middle of "public." Even between "record" and "as" I don't think a comma is appropriate because "as" is a seperator word, thus precluding the need for a comma.

The period outside the closing parentheses? I don't know, it must have just been a typographical error. Steve B. is allowed at least one per post, please extend the same favor to me.

To both Beryl and Steve B., please correct any spell>

Easy, Steve. Let me sleep, work in the yard, clean my cars, do laundry, and take care of all the other things non-retired people must do when time permits. Believe it or not, I don't hang around waiting for your witty posts.

But azpunkinpulp did, last month. Pity he couldn't foresee the SnoBall effect.

Arrogant teachers DO get your attention, don't they? I have learned the most from those types.

As for you, young man, there's nothing wrong with your writing or your writing style. I do have a problem with those who write in chatroomese, who use run on sentences, and can't even operate a spell checker for the basic words. We all do have typos and momentary lapses, and just plain mistakes. It's the twelve year olds who spew curse words and can't put their thoughts down that I have trouble with.

But, because of that, they're the easiest to deal with.

Steve

It don't get any better AFTER retirement. I do all those things, too. Many days I wished I'd go back to work so I wouldn't have to work as hard as I do now.

But I usually just go take a nap until the thought passes.

Steve

Spell checking software is a crutch.

for the basic

And you like the easy meat, don't you?

Spell check is like a dictionary. They don't do a lot of good unless you know how to use them, and have a good idea of how to spell the word in the first place. But they do catch a lot of typos. It's funny at times what gets through spell check. Like those programs that were available a few years ago that were supposed to type what you spoke, they were hilarious at times.

Huh? I fail to follow your homoerotic comments. Would you care to explain? And what's this thing with ESP and your belief that you can tell what other people are thinking? If you believe that, you are a nut case, or are needed in the NSA.

Don't quit your therapist.

Steve

What are you doing in here as there are no 12 year olds. Let me hear the insults again about my age due to your ignorance and lack of knowledge

I'm sorry. My comments were to ED H. Your part of this conversation is .................

class?

class?

It is a reference to a line from a "Pink Floyd" song. I can't blame you for not catching that. However, I notice many mentions of "homoerotic" and "rest stops" in your posts. I made one comment (actually two after correcting myself by inserting a missing word) about your love of sheep. I'm not particulary proud of that comment, but in light of your post that I'm responding to now, I think it rings true.

I'm paraphrasing here, but you stated "it's easier to deal with 12 year olds that cuss a lot." If given the task of finding all your cusses and/or insulting remarks for no reason from those you were responding to over the last few days, I will do my best.

I wouldn't take the drop in pay the NSA could afford.

Why would I? She's a great lay.
