Marty wrote in news ![]() I saw the aftermath of a Hamas rocket hitting a kindergarden the other day,,,, how about damning that...twit Martin So, if your neighbor murders your son, it's ok for you to kill them all? That's not what the cops say where I live. It's NOT OK for me to kill off the neighbors if they kill someone of mine. I'll certainly want to, but we are a society of laws. We don't just start banging away on the neighbors with our M-16s trying to see how many we can kill. That leads to anarchy and everyone dies. Why is murder OK when it's done by Zionists? I've wondered that for years. Laws of society? Yet you just got done telling me how all Jews should die or AH should have "finished" the job. You're a loon. So why do you insist on debating with a loon? Do you think he will suddenly stop being a loon if you argue with him enough? Yes, you're right of course. It's a fine line between not allowing racist stuff to go without saying anything and thus condoning it and ignoring loons as a matter of policy. You can point out that a post is racist with one post in that thread if you feel that every one is is less intelligent than you are and can't figure it out themselves. That is not the same thing as engaging in a debate. I doubt that I'm more intelligent than anyone else here, which is doubless why I posted multiple times on the subject. ![]() -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Aside from the incorrect spelling of the root word you compounded your folly by not using it as an adjective. "Which is (doubtlessly) why." You and Dave are equally illiterate. Or, perhaps I should say "equal illiterate?? Bwaahahhahahah. Wilbur Hubbard |

You need to clear up your muddled thought and expression, Neal. Are you alleging that "doubtless" is an adjective, or that "doubtlessly" is an adjective? Without a doubt, it's doubtlessly when used as an adjective. Perhaps I should commence writing to you using lower Flesch-Kincaid grade level scores? Wilbur Hubbard |

Without a doubt, it's doubtlessly when used as an adjective. Perhaps I should commence writing to you using lower Flesch-Kincaid grade level scores? It would be better, perhaps, if you commenced by learning the difference between an adjective and an adverb. Maybe you should learn how to diagram a sentence. Let's take a look, shall we? "Which is (doubtlessly) why." Which = Subject = noun is = Verb why = Object = noun doubtlessly is a modifier of why. Therefore, it follows that doubtlessly is an adjective, not an adverb. ad.jec.tive \"a-jik-tiv\ n : a word that typically serves as a modifier of a noun - ad.jec.ti.val \'a-jik-"tï-v?l\ adj - ad.jec.ti.val.ly adv Go back to school for a refresher course in remedial English, barrister!

Did your grammar lessens end in the third grade? Sorry, Dave, but vague insults in lieu of reasoned rebuttal makes you a loser in any debate. Wilbur Hubbard |

Did your grammar lessens end in the third grade? Lessens? Debating with Neal is never going to make you appear anything but foolish, Dave. Spit the hook. Like any typical, obfuscating lawyer, Dave is trying to make something complicated out of something simple. We are discussing a simple, four-word sentence. It has a subject a verb an object and an object modifier. That's it! Dredging up non-applicable grammar rules is not necessary. He's trying to save face but doing badly. He apparently thought that doubtlessly was a modifier of the verb and, consequently, an adverb. But any fool knows it's "doubtlessly why" and not "is doubtlessly). If doubtlessly were an adverb the sentence structure would be: "Which doubtlessly is why." I guess Dave never learned the KISS rule. Or the logical order rule. Wilbur Hubbard |

![]() "Dave" wrote in message ... On Tue, 6 Jan 2009 15:06:12 -0500, "Wilbur Hubbard" said: We are discussing a simple, four-word sentence. [snip] "Which doubtlessly is why." Poor attempt at post-editing in a failed attempt to further obfuscate. I take back what I said, Neal. While the third grader would probably not have recognized that your four words are part of a dependent clause introduced the relative pronoun "which," the third grader would at least have gone you one better by recognizing that your four words do not constitute a sentence. Do a little googling of "clause" and "sentence" and maybe you can start to get this grammar stuff sorted out. Sorry, but you're just plain wrong, Dave. All it takes to make a complete sentence is a subject and a verb. "Which is doubtlessly why." This is a complete sentence. "Which is why." This is a complete sentence. "Why me?" This is also a complete sentence. "That is." This, too, is a complete sentence. "Which is?" Same applies here - complete sentence. Go to the back of the class! Don't forget the dunce cap.

Don't forget the dunce cap. Keep it up, Neal. The more you say the more you display your ignorance of the language. Take my earlier advice and google up "sentence," "clause" and "phrase" before you dig yourself in even deeper. I don't have to dig any deeper. I've managed to bury you as it is. Wilbur Hubbard |

That link talks about "doubtless" used as an adverb and I have shown, without doubt, that in the sentence, "Which is doubtlessly why," that doubtlessly is used as an adjective since it is a modifier of the word "why" and not a modifier of the verb "is."
