Mumblefuck, what experiment are you running with the GringoStar account?

REAL TALK, I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DEEP INSIDE A PERSON'S HEAD IN MY LIFE.

[DJ_Chaps]

LAY WASTE? MENTAL DETERIORATION CONFIRMED WITH YOU. HOLY SHIT, LEGIT RETARDED. JUST SHUT IT DOWN TUBBY, OR FIND A NEW GUY TO TILT YOU DAILY.

Legit retarded... like more than when Nina was willing to pity fuck you and you literally stammered something about being friends then ran out the door?

Or some other form of 'legit retarded'?

WTF ARE YOU ON ABOUT NOW? I AM SOOO IN YOUR HEAD. POOR GUY. PLEASE MAKE UP MORE SHIT OUT OF SHEER DESPERATION, ITS ALL YOU HAVE.

[Henry]

That is the best you could do. And the other guy, calling me a faggot. You guys stink like a bunch of pussies who peaked in high-school.

Started a sentence with a conjunction.

Unnecessarily uses a hyphen.

I agree that the big reveal is how Goodell was "tough" with the Pats over Deflategate to save his job. Meaning, with the fed judge nixing Brady's 4-game suspension, the Goodell's actions to seem tough were almost for show.

But that doesn't mean that a team I once admired isn't plagued by a cheating-enabling head coach. And that is the real shame. Because it has, IMO, stained the legacy of that franchise, as well as of its HOF-caliber quarterback.

The hyphens in this post are more appropriate, since they're used to join words to create single adjectives. Mumbles loves the hyphen though. Along with making lists and putting adjectives in quotations to show irony, like he did in this above post.

1) The USA has the reputation in soccer that Nigeria has in ice hockey.

2) I read through some of your posts. Please point me to a place where you contributed that was "great." Since 2012, as evidenced by your reputation and post count, you have been, and continue to be, mediocre.

Or he does in this post

Well, I imagine no one has ever accused you of being either brainy or creative.

The only thing you seem to know about me is that I am new here and others are trying to bully. You guys LITERALLY act no different than girls in 8th grade when a new girl comes into the school.

It is so fascinating how you guys think like a mob and try to project your own failures and confused sexuality on me. It's like every time you insult me, I get to learn more about you.

The all caps adverb.

Again, with the sexuality... You seem to have some demons to work out.

And you again go back to adolescent female behavior.

"Us girls have organized a lot of homecomings and dances together and we've been through a lot, like when Steve broke up with Jessica, so don't waltz in here thinking you're going to be prom queen."

You guys seem threatened that someone with a brain just invaded this little world where your stock is much higher than it is in the real world. Get your shit together. If you have standards, I would love to hear what they are and maybe have a debate on issues and principles.

You want a captive audience for your own retardation, but can't accept (or counter, obviously) the rants and ideas of others. You are not only a fascist, you are sorely mismatched for any kind of actual debate that doesn't find its basis in seniority. Fuck your small little fart-infested life.

The elipsis.

In summary, your complaints about Larry and myself can be summed up by the following points.

1) We know each other.

2) We both try not to be racist.

3) I am new to the forum.

4) There have been some minor grammatical mistakes.

So you guys are longing for the days when PFA had no new PFA members and they didn't know each other, were aggressively racist, inarticulate, hostile to reason, and made absolutely no spelling or grammatical errors? Sounds fucking awesome.

welcome to forum Gringo, yes the seniors are tough on the incoming freshman

sorry, got to join in this grammar seminar here because of improper use of reflexive pronouns is a pet peeve of mine

use the reflexive if you have already referred to yourself in the sentence (just as i did in this sentence)....that is: use "me" instead of "myself"--your use of "myself" smacks of an attempt to appear more educated when if fact the opposite is true because its use is wrong


that said, i think it a good idea to sprinkle a few error of spelling & grammar into your posts...there are people that need to point out others unimportant mistakes, and by sprinkling you will be pleasing them, thus making them feel better about themselves...and after all, isn't it everyone's goal to please as many as possible with one's posts?

FFS, you are pretentiously ignorant! And because you obviously aren't familiar with how fucking ignorant you are about this matter, I have taken the time to mumble up a reference to set your ignorant ass straight.

Can I Start a Sentence with a Conjunction?
http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/edu...-a-conjunction

Today’s topic is whether it’s OK to begin a sentence with and, but, or or. The short answer is: yes, and just about all modern grammar books and style guides agree! So who is it that keeps saying it’s wrong to do it?

It’s Fine to Start a Sentence with a Coordinating Conjunction

And, but, and or are the three most common members of a group of words known as coordinating conjunctions. The question about whether it’s grammatical to begin a sentence with and, but, or or is actually the question of whether it’s grammatical to begin a sentence with a coordinating conjunction. Here’s what some of the big usage guides say on the matter. The one that seems to get quoted the most is the Chicago Manual of Style, which says:

There is a widespread belief—one with no historical or grammatical foundation—that it is an error to begin a sentence with a conjunction such as and, but or so. In fact, a substantial percentage (often as many as 10 percent) of the sentences in first-rate writing begin with conjunctions. It has been so for centuries, and even the most conservative grammarians have followed this practice.

Both Garner’s Modern American Usage, and Fowler’s Modern English Usage call this belief a superstition. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary of English Usage (or MWDEU) says, “Everybody agrees that it’s all right to begin a sentence with and,” and notes that you can find examples of it all the way back to Old English.

Many People Have Been Taught That It’s Wrong

However, MWDEU also observes that “nearly everybody admits to having been taught at some past time that the practice was wrong.” So where did this idea come from? In The Story of English in 100 Words, David Crystal writes:

During the 19th century, some schoolteachers took against the practice of beginning a sentence with a word like but or and, presumably because they noticed the way young children overused them in their writing.

But instead of gently weaning the children away from overuse, they banned the usage altogether! Generations of children were taught they should ‘never’ begin a sentence with a conjunction. Some still are. (Entry for and)

If you’ve ever been angry at a teacher who kept your whole class in from recess because two or three of your classmates were misbehaving, you should have a big problem with this rationale for not beginning a sentence with a conjunction. They think you can’t handle the freedom of using conjunctions!

So, suck it, chump!

Believe it or not, I actually have my undergrad degree in English and I am familiar with the proper way to write (MLA and Chicago) and speak. I certainly appreciate that your post was not an attack, but it is difficult for me to take seriously any correction with simple errors like "got to join" and the improper use of a colon in your writing, all the while completely ignoring capitalization and punctuation, but I appreciate the use of your last sentence as an insurance policy against hypocrisy.

I may be new here, but I am not new the English language, I am not new to self-loathing internet bullies who use the internet as a defensive launchpad in order to doctor their own failing egos, and I am definitely not new to forums. As many of these catty girls have pointed out, I may not even be new to this forum.

You are not new the English language, huh?

[Henry]

I didn't comment on the correctness of your grammatical quirkiness other than to say you overuse hyphens.

In fact I use conjunctions to start sentences all the time:

No offense Larry, but you're five foot three and a buck fifteen. You probably didn't have a normal brain to begin with. And that's before you smoked all that weed and spent god only knows how many hours building skate parks on tony hawk.

But few enough people do so that it makes it stylistically distinctive. All I was doing is pointing out the distinctiveness of the grammar.

Like all caps adverbs. FAIRLY distinct.

Look, I'm not here to police grammar or come off smart. I come here to read comments from guys I've been reading for years.

Why do you come here? To use big words for the sake of using them in the hopes of impressing the lawyers? To correct the tech guys on a subject you know nothing about? To post an article and school the finance guys? You're a try hard. You try hard to prove you have a big brain because you're unhappy you don't get paid to use it.

You seem to know about a lot about me without knowing anything about me. Another sad sack just projecting his own inadequacies.

Have I been using big words for the sake of using big words? This is how I write. I think the problem is that I have a slightly larger vocabulary, perhaps even than you, and when people see words that challenge them they get uncomfortable and begin to assume that these "big" words must be accompanied by flawless grammatical structure and style. Get the fuck out of here, I will write what I want.

The fact that you guys presume I am trying to be smart only describes how fucking moronic you are. You telling me that I am trying to sound smarter than I am is overwhelmingly hypocritical. All of your posts are a clear attempt at trying to be the smartest guy in the room by correcting peoples' grammar and using words that seem barely within the grasp of your vocabulary.

But you seem to have spent a lot of time trying to dissect my writing, I really appreciate it. Clearly I have disturbed your safe space, I don't want to trigger you further. You fucking pussy.

[Henry]

Again, I didn't correct your grammar. I simply pointed out the similarities between accounts.

Have I been using big words for the sake of using big words?

I don't know, you tell me.

A substantive response to anything I've said to drag down the discourse would be greatly appreciated, but I sense you are more of a guy who rests on platitudes and resorts to baseless insults when challenged on your intellectual merit.

Is that how you talk to the toll booth operators?

Well, despite your expert analysis, which in itself demonstrated a desperate need to express your own intelligence, I am not Mumbles. I am not sure what else to tell you - your skills deceive you.

Also, I am not sure what you meant by the toll booth operator comment. Is that the profession of the guy I was responding to, or were you pointing out that the way I wrote is not how anyone would address a blue-collar working man?
