the epstien files dont even matter when you are elite ultra rich above the law and rigging markets while doing the usual US leadership move of create value for the weapons manufacturers that sponsor you, those million dollar missile defense systems arent going to sell themselves, and there is tons of money to be made in fracturing society with culture wars and raiding the fake ops of the moment, and all the while halting the progress of society that would make other important sponsors like fossil fuels become irrelevant
my punctuation does not have to be perfect for the ideas to be understood, language, grammar, word use, and communication is as varied as the human experience, and obsessive pedantic emphasis on arbitrary rules serves hierarchy more than the free exchange of information. seems like more people understand this concept than dont as i have more upvotes than both of the obtuse grammar priss mounds. Also grades are not indicative of intelligence, in fact there are all kinds of intelligence that cant be formally measured.
It doesn’t have to be perfect, but that doesn’t mean you should go full Saramago. Punctuation can really help the reader organize and process what you are saying. I read your entire first comment but I retained absolutely nothing because it just kept going and going and going. There’s a big difference between grammatical pedantry and just wanting to understand what someone is saying.
Basically, it was a 1 sentence review of their problem and everyone but the person I replied to decided to take it as anything other than internet fuckery.
I don’t think of myself as a troll but when people cast the bait and tackle for themselves, they don’t deserve feeling indignant. They kept feeding and I kept eating. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
however you see yourself, you come off like a not-very-creative troll in this thread. needling people about grammar is maybe the oldest troll bullshit on the internet and it was never funny. There are venues where adhering to a formal style is important (arguably), but a random thread on a forum ain’t it. It’s ok to show up in your linguistic sweatpants sometimes.
That is funny but making fun of someone because of their grammar is just not great. Perhaps English is not this persons first language. Maybe they were not able to get the same education as you because of outside factors.
Not at all. You sound like you’re 14 and trying to be “smart” in front of people who can barely stand to be around you.
You’re not even acknowledging the rebuttal to the argument YOU started, and refuse to see that they conveyed the message they were trying to deliver without your pedantic little rules.
Language is not a set of rules but a living, cognitive phenomenon and a system of communicative patterns acquired through usage.
I didn’t start an argument. I agreed with another user that OP used as little punctuation as possible, and then all you sour bitches came and started harassing me. Go touch grass kid.
i never said you were dumb, i said obtuse (for changing the topic at hand to something arbitrary) pedantic (for emphasizing the arbitrary rules if grammar) and a priss mound (for being unpleasantly self righteous about the aforementioned things) and i will never give a fuck about punctuation in certain situations or the criticisms of random bad faith internet commenters. This has added nothing to the conversation.
im just having genuine human interactions with you, after you in the first place took a jab at me over something arbitrary and unrelated to the original topic, and i think even with great effort to miss the point and deflect the trajectory of conversation, its very apparent how increadibly useless bringing up grammar and punctuation is, as this seems to be an exchange filled with animosity and ill will, going nowhere and accomplishing nothing.

Hey! Punctuation involves more than commas. Did you know that?
He and the other person that downvoted you failed grammar class.
*He
Fuck! I played myself.
Honestly, your attempt at a joke on this, is really immature.
Punctuation is great and all that, but taking pride in looking down is an ugly look.

This is incredibly overly hostile to someone telling you, correctly, that punching down in comedy fucking sucks.

I fear you are either confused about the tone I took with you or with that particular idiom.
Nope, just calling a jerk a jerk, because this ain’t funny.

are you suggesting that people maybe shouldn’t invest so much of their time and attention on things that ultimately maybe don’t matter all that much?

ACAB, especially the grammar police.
All Commas Are Bad?

Awe, feeling sad that it’s not about you instead?

You’re still arguing, so it’s clearly added something that intrigues you.

Many word make seem mad. The calm please.
