laughs and hands you softer toilet tissue for all the wiping you've been doing!
BUT WHY? i like to type in bad english
where you hang out to find such specimens.
Rave i dont mean stuff like dis
I mean 'furnitures', 'equipments', 'sheeps', common phrases like 'birds of the same feathers'(!!)
I'm sorry lorh, didn't realised it peeved u off sooo much. have you considered taking a chill pill?
beakee, all you have to do is re-enter that cesspool called 'interesting plurkers' and set filter to spore.
LOL aiyo.
Dowiee it didn't peeve me off but I'd been suppressing the urge for a long time. Consider it a little break for me
actually that's another one: it's either 'piss u off' or it's a peeve. Peeve me off is not correct although i understand what u mean.
woah woah, anal reiterativeeeeeeeeeee
but of cos you'll correct it as 'Anal Retentive'
we must insists on better language of english.
tries not to check out "interesting" plurkers unless it's really damn bored...
to remind
Parsival of the all-time fave, "stuffs"
OH YES THE COMMON MISUSAGE OF THEN AND THAN!
sometime i am also peeved off by bad language.
are you peeved off ALOT by me?
uses LOLspeak from time to time and hopes Parsival won't hold that against it
Dowiee, I'd correct it as 'anal reiteratiiive' as the 'e' is silent.
Dowiee, this is not about u at all, never has been. I was just taking a holiday from social correctness.
Dowiee, i didnt want to type 11 'i's like u did with your 'e's but that was the effect you were going for, no?
we could learn alot from you, srsly.
true, Dowie, but we could say the same about everyone and everything. Just have to keep our eyes open.
hate people that talk like LOLcats.
sometimes i am quite a grammar and spelling nazi too.
*runs away*
also hating people that make up non-esixting words,.
i'm aware that language evolves, people, as well as our ability to speak in several modes, please don't misunderstand me.
However, inconsistency when speaking in any mode grates on me and my sensibilities, that's all, nothing personal.
understand you perfectly well in any senses.
never misundertands. we know you is nazi police and grammer spelling.
Dowiee is a bad person to have such statement.
pet hates are 'internets' (I don't care if people started using it to mock George Bush, it's incorrect), i has [insert thing here]
and for no rational reason, nomming.
nom nom nom on moggs moggs.
NOM-ming on Pee-purr who hates NOMNOMS
just sitting here with a sleepy grin on his face.
you people are disgussing! Speak good english, pleasE!
pee-purr who corrects others WRONGLY
you people are incorrigiblelly!
amused by people who use bombastic words wrongly.
you people are too superfluidous.
aye, no time to chat with u all, i need to write a covering letter!
nice link, big bad man. I've bookmarked it for later reading.
i has the book. deep stuff, i telling you.
this is one of the most interesting plurk by far
the respondees are very much happy to particibate
anything at my expense. *SMILE*
wow look at the number of responses. Maybe you should do it more often! Bad English shouldn't be tolerated.
correcting mistakes on the internet is like subtracting one from infinity.
ROFL!!!! Thanks for the delightful laughs to start my day -- all of you!!!
wow, 89 responses to one plurk. Parsival, you've really outdone yourself this time. Then again, the subject's obvious flamebait
Muser, i wasn't thinking at the time, just wanted to get it off my chest.
by the way Parsival, offence not taken. t'was a good plurk.
so are we doing these still anot
*ji ba plurk ... typo...
muser
thinks 16 years ago
there might demand for a plurk spelling auto-correct plugin.
proud to be the 100th response!
and now let the trolling start.
seriously if bad english becomes a convention, then LL suck thumb.
says there's no reason to LL unless it truly becomes a consistent patois vs being merely a pidgin.
what i meant is, the non-standard evolving into a standard. it won't happen 50 years down e road. but i was thinking of A Clockwork Orange.
says they were speaking a true patois in Clockwork so I wouldn't have a prob with that.
i'm not sure i agree with your definition of a "true" patois in the sense that i see creole by itself, as a stage in the evolution of what
everyone calls "bad" english as opposed to Standard Eng.
ultimately, slipping standards of linguistic usage, laziness or otherwise, over time, evolves to form a new language.
its origins r non standard & cld be constituted as "bad" English, like e Jamaican creole. It is this instoppable evolution I refer to.
says Steven Pinker makes a similar argt, but adds that only 2nd-gen speakers can evolve creoles/podgins into patois; 1st gen's screwed.
definitely. pinker makes a valid point.
geez I don't even know the diff btwn patois and pidgin. Pidgin's worse right?
like pidgin's personal and patois is communal?
and this plurk is still very much ALIVE!!!!!
says patois has consistent grammar an all; more like a dialect. Pidgin's rudimentary and inconsistent.
gotcha. we were saying the same thing except i was looking at it from a social perspective.
why can't we just fall back onto grunts and hollers; Just like it was used to?
we still do, DPL, in our body language, which is, what, 65% of the message?
