Like her greasy, typo-pouncing ferret "subject", Raoul, she dishonestly clusters those typos in a barren attempt to malign several well-written posts--and in effect--me, their writer.

The fact is, since most language authorities have for the greater part of this century sanctioned "split-infinitive" constructions (such as mine above) as correct in colloquial English, you prove yourself very much the pitiful-wanna-be-pedant-with-the-dusty- bag-of-obsolete-pronouncements, "Princess Nora"--when you give credence to Raoul's sophomoric, pseudo- intellectual stylistic pontification. > >>> Raoul, are you saying that despite your shabby try at >>> avoiding the consequences of your intellectual cowardice >>> by cobbling together a spurious and ludicrous scheme to >>> misuse an occasional typo to divert attention from your >>> prior invertebrate behavior--you have suddenly given >>> up?

If she'd take you, of course. Yes, Mr. "Einstein" Xemblinosky, you did find the one typo in several hundred otherwise fully coherent words. I'm glad the "princess" sees fit to emphasize your "cleverness" and "creativity". > >>> Franky, Raoul, I don't know which is worse: a cowardly, > >>"Franky?" Who the fuck is "Franky?" Yes, Mr. "Victor Hugo" Xemblinosky, you showed us your "immense writing talent" by finding another typo in several hundred more words. Congratulations on your "brilliant intellectual achievement". I'm so delighted that your "princess" has noted your "achievement". > >>> greasy, typo-pouncing ferret; or a moran who fancies > >>A "moran?" Yes, Mr. "Cervantes" Xemblinosky. You have proven you "wit" and "imagination" once again by diligently searching out another typo. How superb that your "princess" has noted your "amazing feat". > >Uh oh...NOW you've done it! Just ask Wotan ;-) Should we end by saying, "Like 'princess', like peon," or would that be too honest and politically incorrect for name-mangling, typo-pouncing, ferret Xemblinosky? copyright FLAME GIANT > >
