I have no time for drunk drivers

Be fair, you do seem to be a fairly useless drink-driver since by your
own admission you've failed to kill a single person.

 

Right. That's it. I'm going to neck a gallon of neat orange juice, crank
up the Fuglypla, and hunt down some unfortunate to ruthlessly mow down.

Anybody know where cur.tony lives?

Stinking drunk-driver!

 

Heh. Try replying to my other post, binlid.

Obvious - but completely wrong.

That should read:

"So, for how long have you been trying to use English, sonny?"

Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.

Gosh, you're smart.

Care to work out how to use a sig seperator?

 

But in both cases the sentence ends with "sonny".

HTH.

But Platy does ok with our language, for a Paddy-Mick.

 

No thanks. I prefer the more technically correct 'separator'.

Actually, though, I have an atomagical one - but it ain't clever enough to
formulate original stuff based on the content of the post - and I don't use
sigs, they're bad for your health.

Cor! You write good, dunnit?

1. "Prepositions are not words to end sentences with." is an example of
irony. In your case, wasted irony.

2. Try to use punctuation correctly: ie "But, in both cases..."

3. Try to understand sentence formation - and for what commas can be used -
got that, sonny? (expl: both sentences end with ", sonny", not just "sonny".

4. And never start a sentence with a conjunction.


Let that be a lesson to you.

Best 'ad to say it though, but.

It seems you imagine my speech would pause after the word 'but', is that
the case? I wrote that line exactly as I'd say the sentence, I'd not
pause after the word 'but'.

I can see how if I'd written something along the lines of - 'The sky is
blue. But, sometimes clouds obscure the sky.' the word 'But,' would be
correct, in that context it sounds correct.

In a single sentence I'd not make a pause, there's no point in doing so,
it's a one line interruption.

Boring, boring, boring.

You and Des should meet up.

That's the problem then, driving while tired, or lighting up or
whatever should be a crime instead of speeding perhaps. I know when I
speed I am more aware than I am while doing slow speeds, (in a car
anyway)

 

I did not imagine anything. Just because you don't talk proper doesn't mean
that not writing proper should be a natural consequence.

Invoke article 4:
4. And never start a sentence with a conjunction.

Rules for correct written English are not governed by what 'sounds correct'
to you.

Errrk! Could you repeat that, using sensible punctuation, so that it makes
sense to the reader rather than just the speaker?

Perhaps not.

Ah! The simple, cheap, throwaway line. Always useful when you have no lucid
argument to offer.

But *oh* so true in your case

That would be the sig you don't use again

That, on the other hand, would be the sig separator that is
a) Broken
b) In the wrong place.

I say, this is jolly interesting.

Popcorn, anyone?
