I wouldn't ever criticise an uneducated person's grammer.

Or spelling.........

PDW

Ba BOOOM!


Spelling? Go on, tell me about my spelling mistake .... and I will
demonstrate that you are an ignorant pair of yokels.

Tell me all about "grammer" Donal....


Only an ignorant yokel would attempt a spelling flame in a discussion about
grammar.

Flame ? Moi!?
I t was a serious question...I truly want to know what grammer
is...


http://www.dictionary.com

grammer, IN
Zip code(s): 47236

Only an ignorant yokel wouldn't know that Donal was talking about a
place in the USA.

particularly in that context....or any for that matter ;-)


See above. I'm sure there was some context link - for Donal.

Too late. I already know I'm an ignorant yokel. However, I'd much
rather be ignorant than stupid. Ignorance is curable.

If Donal is stupid, would it not then follow that he'd be ignorant and
not recognise the fact?


I've never said that Donal was stupid.

I know that I am ignorant.

That's the difference between those of us who live in the "old" world and
those of you who live in the "new" world.

You think that you know everything, in the same way that my teenage 16 y/o
son does.

So..... you are correct! I *am* ignorant. I am probably ignorant of
99.9999% of mankind's knowledge.

I'd love to be Australian ..... It would we wonderful to be able to
demonstrate my intelligence by bragging about my expensive cars, or even by
boasting about the size of my smallholding.

I know that I am ignorant.


At least you recognise the fact.

That's the difference between those of us who live in the "old" world and
those of you who live in the "new" world.


What?
That the old worlders are ignorant...probably because they so rarely
get out.
I recall some old worlders being stunned that my wife and I would
drive to Portsmouth from London for the day.

You think that you know everything, in the same way that my teenage 16

y/o
son does.

Tell me Donal, can a 16YO be anything but a teenager?
Does he have a better command of English than you?

So..... you are correct! I *am* ignorant. I am probably ignorant of
99.9999% of mankind's knowledge.


Yes.

I'd love to be Australian .....


I'm sure!

It would we wonderful to be able to
demonstrate my intelligence by bragging about my expensive cars, or even

by
boasting about the size of my smallholding.


My, Is that a chip I see?



Absolutely!

I am extremely envious your wealth. ... but you knew that, didn't you?




Oh and I don't have expensive cars...well one is, but it's a
collectors item.
The others, well, a couple are becoming collectors cars, particularly
one of the Lancias which while being close to 25 years old, has less
that 10,000 km on it.
The Peugeot 407, a mere $55,000
The Lancer EVO, $62,000
and a bunch of Mitsubishis, the most expensive being the AWD Verada
fitted with a supercharger and other bits at $50k.


Are these Australian dollars?



The PRB, a Caterham/Lotus 7 look alike is only partly finished as I'm
still waiting for one of your old world companies to deliver the
specialist parts that I ordered some 9 months ago.

Oh and my smallholding is .... shall we say...adequate?


I was talking about PDW's plot of land .... NOT your thingamijig!!

One should cultivate the feeling of being uncomfortably comfortable.

I'm a bit uncomfortable about the degree of Oz's comfort.

How does a copper earn enough to buy such expensive cars ...?
