I read them. They were wrong.


LOL. That pretty much says it all. The whole world's wrong except for you,
right? (Well, you and illiterates at the NY Post)

Perhaps you would be able to quote something from any of your links that
proves that I am wrong??????

I bet that you cannot. Furthermore, I will admit that I didn't bother to
read your links, because I am so confident about my position.




BTW in a decent education system one learns this sort of linguistic
mechanics no later than about the 7th or 8th grade, not at the university
level. The papers I pointed you to were dealing with the theory rather
than
the practice. The authors assumed a basic knowledge of the grammar on the
reader's part.

So what? Are you able to post a couple of lines that prove me wrong?


Ler's face it, Dave. You are a pompous ass, who believes that his
education gives him an innate superiority in matters of language.

I disagree. Furthermore, I am willing, and able to discuss the matter with
you.

Your degree is beginning to look pretty useless - don't you think?




Regards


Donal
