So, remember what you said in that other thread about a bad start? This ain't the way to make it better. Seriously, if you want to make an honest shot at fitting in around here, please don't post crap like this.

No drinking for the trolls either! Posted by Nato (Member # 1448) on :
At a more harshly moderated forum I visit, you'd be banned for this sort of post.
Posted by Sopwith (Member # 4640) on :
Well, is he a troll or just a dweeb?
Posted by Promethius (Member # 2468) on :
why does it matter? Just dont respond to his post if you dont like it. He will get the picture if he is totally ignored. Personally I dont care whether he posts this or not. It matters so little, there is no point in making a fuss about it.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Actually, what bugs me about the thread title is the lousy grammar.
". . . more drunk than I???!" would be correct. Tsk.
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
You actually missed the more grating error: then. Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
True. Thing is, I have that one set to auto-correct in my brain.
(Also, Tom, I answered your questions regarding my preferences in my laptop thread -- but you never came back with recommendations. *hopeful* Pretty please?)

Well, Tom, I disagree. I think you are bashing this poor youngster for his grammar, when I believe it is a spelling error he is making.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Oops, I apologize, Tom. You did not specify the mistake as a grammatical one.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
Of course, it is the triple question markage which is the most grievous sin. It makes the babies weep.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Yeah, CT??? I am so going to look up "markage" in the dictionary. Ha ha.

Posted by Anna (Member # 2582) on :
Hum. Could someone explain to a humble foreigner when you're supposed to use "I" and when you're supposed to use "me" ? I never quite understood it and end in using my feeling.

I thought it was supposed to be "me"?
who is more drunk than me who is more drunk than him
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Claudia Therese, I think you are having some barkage up the wrong tree issues, dear.
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
I think it's one of those examples that can go either way, depending on whether you consider yourself to be the object of that sentence, or the subject of another clause.
Who is more drunk than I am? Who is more drunk than me?
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Nope, "me" would not be the object of "than."
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
I'll take your word for it; this was one on which I was always a bit fuzzy.
And prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
"This is the sort of English up with which I will not put!"
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
I've never heard that one before; I like it. I still don't think I can regularly place prepositions at the end of sentences in my writing, but it makes a good point, I suppose.
Posted by Jonathan Howard (Member # 6934) on :
The proper phrasing should have been: "Who was more drunk that I (was)?"
I think that I was very "tipsy" once. I was permitted 2 wine glasses (sister's wdding), so I naturally had 3 red and 4 white. I also verifid that each exceeded 14% of alcohol. That was dinner, then the dancing started.
I lost track of the amount of test-tubs with oblique substances I was offered, more so the vodka.
I loved the feeling, and slept about 8 hours extra.

I think that the first post was inappropriate. It should have been written without UNUsuAL CapiTALISaTion, or weird ways to write a full stop>
But, then, who am I to speak?

Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
Elizabeth, my usage of the language is always appropriate-like. I define that which is propriety.
*twinkling eyes
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
That's appropriat ish, CT. I am so doing a hands-washage of you.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
As one proper woman to another, Elizabeth, may I invite you to nibble on my blushing posterior?
I am so the Big Bad.

Tonight my English won't be better but at last I laughed.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
(to CT)well, you had better tell me why it is experiencing blushage, first.
(Ah, I feel a tease-her-forever thing growing. Like Dag and his Aisian pornage.)

My sweet rump is embarrassed for you, darling Elizabeth. It is rosy with shame at your critical nitpickage, and I must go cool it off in the virgin Wisconsin snow.

It is such a burden to be so, like, modest and all.

Your snow is still virginal?
Wow. I guess that's what I get for living on campus.

Everything about me is virginal, dear.

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
You two are so cutiful.
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
They really are! In fact, I'm finding vast amusage in their cutefulness. You should maintain the cutage as long as possible.
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
"Could someone explain to a humble foreigner when you're supposed to use 'I' and when you're supposed to use 'me' ? I never quite understood it and end in using my feeling."
When you are the subject -- i.e. doing the acting -- you use "I." When you are the object -- i.e. having something done to you -- you use "me."
In other words, "Susan and I ran to the store." "Carol was less happy than I with the result." (Note: In the second sentence, the verb "was" has been omitted, but is still implied.) "She handed the barrel to Bob and me."
Posted by Jonathan Howard (Member # 6934) on :
All I know, Tom, is that the verb 'to be' makes both the subject and the predicate be in the 'subject' form. That is from Latin.

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
I always sort out the "I" and "me" issue by removing the other person.
"Jane and Me went to the store" = "Me went to the store" = Wrong!
Therefore,
"Jane and I went to the store."
OR:
"Peter phoned Jane and I" = "Peter phoned I" = Wrong!
Therefore,
"Peter phoned Jane and Me."
Posted by Jonathan Howard (Member # 6934) on :
"John acted like he was I fifty years ago."
"He was I." - correct.
Your system works, and I put this post to raise the PostCount.

I think, in the name of humour, that the more incorrect the grammer the better.
In other news, my head really hurts. Why??!
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
The correct way of saying that is, "My head has major hurtage."

Bah! That is such a non-PC comment. I'm actually serious. Posted by Jonathan Howard (Member # 6934) on :
Has? Has? How dare you use 17th century 'slang'? You should use "Mine own head hath perpetual hurtage within".
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
"Bah! That is such a non-PC comment. I'm actually serious."
PC? Non PC? I m not going for either, I was speaking in the Claudia Theresish tongue.

You were relating mockage of the left-handishness, as if there were something wrong-like about it. Forsooth, and all.

I'm sure after the prunes cleaned you out your intestines didn't have much excess baggage.
