Dixie--
As you draw upon the resources of your "wisdome" to finish your "disertation," be sure to do a spell-check of your text. Your professor might have acquired a lot of WISDOM along the way as he/she read and critiqued DISSERTATION after DISSERTATION and he/she just might think that correct spelling counts for something!
I remain truly curious as to which words in my posts have sent (or would have sent) you to the dictionary. You have accused me of using such words, but you seem not to be able to list a single one--not yet, anyway. Perhaps you will find one here.
You say "it's just ironic that you call Sassy out when you created a thread to do exactly to him what you are mad that he did to you...." Well, not exactly, Ms. Chik. You see, Sassy initiated this little grammar war by INCORRECTLY accusing me of an error. My response, by contrast, showed him clearly and CORRECTLY(from independent sources) that he was dead wrong in his interpretation of the matter. There IS a difference between a gratuituous and blundering assertion (such as Sassy made) and a scholarly and well documented rebuttal (which I provided). Thus, I believe you will agree, your choice of "exactly" to characterize our respective contributions is not "exactly" on target.
All right, Sassy, you may come back on here and do two predictable things:
(1) whoop and croak about my violation of my pledge to forego further discussion of this issue. You do need some kind of comfort, given the heavy polemical bombardment I have dislodged upon your piteous efforts at grammar-sharping. Ms. Chik's chiding post was just too tempting for me to resist. It provided yet another opportunity to enlighten someone whose discernment (not to mention spelling) is in need of an upgrade.
(2) unburden yourself of any of a variety of irrelevant insults, that tactic being the one you are most skilled in. Play to your "strength."
Get your nose down out of the air. I hear it might rain today, and you could drown.
You can't help but try pitifully to get the last word in, can you? Your ego is such that it could only be fully expressed on such a forum as we have here...anywhere else on line you would be banned in a heartbeat. And I'm certain that that same ego, if expressed in person, would drive any potential audience, nay...any acquaintance, away.
BTW, I need no allowance or permission from you to post as I see fit concerning your shortcomings and failures.
Trouble is, you found NO shortcoming in the grammar you sought vainly and laughably to correct. In your ignorance, you interpreted a "shortcoming" that just was not there. Then, even after being shown irrefutable proof that you were WRONG, you refused to acknowledge your proven error and forthwith abandoned any efforts toward substantive discussion of the matter. Instead, you took the cheap and cowardly route--you started slinging ad hominum insults and have continued consistently to embrace that polemically impotent tactic. Truly pitiful!!!!!!!!!!!!
I should just repeat my last post on this topic...it would answer your latest diatribe just as well as the one before.
If I throw a stick will you go away? I suspect not Your ego won't let you
