QUOTE (Tymeaus Jalynsfein @ Jul 23 2009, 03:25 PM)  And now you get insulting... Who would have guessed... It wasn't intended as an insult. As a matter of fact, I'm a little insulted myself that you'd think it was; I'm not one of those English-is-the-superior-language people who thinks that not knowing English means you're an inferior person. Not knowing English just means ... you don't know English. What a concept. One of my absolute best friends doesn't know how to spell or diagram a sentence in English to save his life, even though he's now a professional writer. I proofread for him because English spelling and grammar are completely intuitive for me. I certainly don't think any less of him that he needs my help. What happened here is that you claimed I was wrong-- in bold type, indicating severity or conviction -- which is utterly untrue. Then you tried to back out of it saying "oh, I was just thinking of the non-native English speakers here and was trying to point out that it's possible to misread what you wrote". Bullshit. YOU said that I was "wrong'. I wasn't. Be man enough to admit your mistake, don't try to cover it up. |

YOU said that I was "wrong'. I wasn't. Be man enough to admit your mistake, don't try to cover it up. In the context of the Quote, I believe You were wrong, and I corrected what I perceived to be the inaccuracy... However, I was man enough to say that it was possible I misunderstood you... The main reason that I posted that response was because it could be Misleading, in general (lots of little things added up here, that are of no real relevance)... the CONTEXT of the quote you used, in my opinion, could have been better delineated... But... AS I have said... I was wrong, I Misunderstand you... I am sorry... I generally have no qualms with your posts or your style... So as I said in the original post... If I misunderstood, No Harm, No Foul... No need to continue the argument... Keep the Faith... |
