OT: Cathy - remedial reading help needed for Shmuckland

oops! ;-)

Fine, but I'm doing YOUR job here, and I'm not even in the union. :)

The thread has nothing to do with me, & unless it's neutral or good, I really don't want my name in the subject.

Merci.

Cathy

Fine by me in this case... ;-)

Cathy

Thanks a lot. You're off for the summer, and you leave ME to deal with these dingtards.

Apparently YOU ran out of steam as well as balls. We have unfinished business:

Let's dissect this. Maybe you're right. Here's the sentence that's been such a stumbling block for the class. I've placed a short line of asterisks before & after the sentence to be sure it's distinct from everything else, and we know we're discussing the same words.

Is that the assertion you're referring to?

I see. You've run out of balls again. Either it is the "assertion", or it isn't. There is no maybe unless you've run out of balls. Again.

You have no idea what you mean.

That's because she knows you're a lost cause and doesn't want to be dragged through the mud as is happening to you now. It's pitiful how you try to get others to clean up your own mess.

It befuddles me why you are plonking him now and not during the "Philip died" conversation.

Is this the "mess" which all of you are referring to?

Have you wondered why no one has come to your defense yet?

No. First I need to absolutely sure that this is the source of all the disagreement. Lacking that information, we can proceed no further.

Hach says I made an assertion. Do you agree that I made an assertion, and it is in between the two lines of asterisks above?

Just too tedious for the moment - I hadn't/haven't followed the thread, not interested, etc...

Cathy

It's easy to follow because it has absolutely nothing to do with Iran or missiles. It's simple: The three of them claim that I made an assertion. The sentence in question is below, between the two lines of asterisks. Do you think I made an assertion? If so, what was the assertion in the sentence below?

This is about reading comprehension, and nothing else.

Don't you mean "understand" YOUR opinion of the subject, by reading the goofy lefty kook stuff you post daily? LOL

Translation: Help me Cathy!!! I need someone to rationalize my words and take my foot out of my mouth!

I have already answered that question several times.

Arghhh. You don''t give up. Arghhh.

A) You asked a question about whether or not they (the other posters) think that they (Iran) have missiles. B) You implied that you assume they [Iran, not the other poster(s)] have no missiles. If there's an assertion, it's being inferred from that implication/inference in B. IOW - not an out & out assertion, but an implication/inference.

There. Done with it. Phew. Blechhh.
