Ah, I do love the smell of complete twats in the middle of the night. It makes me feel alive.

My dear boy, a spot of peppermint tea should clear that cough right up.

At least one of the three quotes above wasn't meant entirely serious.

You sure?

I'm enjoying this thread, more of the same please.

I'll certainly see what I can do, ruffers. I believe it's only a matter of time before someone else feels a burning desire to condemn ill-conceived prejudices simply because they don't agree with his or her own ill-conceived prejudices.

I believe one too many commas MF?

This part of the thread was particularly funny, given that the English language is assembled almost entirely from paronyms

(such as the American mispelling of English)

Relevant? Probably not

Next!

Where's this tea then, I'm thirsty...

Its just not good enough to say 'Saddam- fuckhead dictator'. He at least planned and err.......'executed' his ideas for Iraq which is more than can be said for the axis of good and oil need.
He also gave plenty of chances for his enemies to 'join' him. It was a simple choice- my way or electrodes on the testicles.
What did the Romans do for us? You know the rest.
Mussolini got the trains running on time didn't he? Not all bad then.
This Bush guy can't take the blame for anything can he?

No. It's grammatically correct both ways, but I prefer a more rhythmic style of writing, which generally includes a liberal sprinkling of commas. Otherwise, regarding the paronymous origins of the English language, you are absolutely correct. Bravo for being the sole rowboat of reason in this sea of self-righteous narrow-mindedness. Apart from myself, of course, but I like to think I'm more of an island.

John Donne be damned.

You're absolutely right - it's not relevant at all. But very useful as a distraction, I'm sure.
