I'm of two minds. A lot of posts must have been drunk typed but the concentration required to type anything that long while pissed to the gills is a superhuman effort

Strangely, I recall reading a few that were, for want of a better word, 'picture perfect'. More questions than answers.

I'm sure you do, along with other mildly interested members. However, is it not obvious that the answer will have to come from him who has resigned and is therefore unlikely to either read your request nor, accordingly answer it?

Even a P.M. should, if he who has resigned is sincere, be ignored.

resign? from the forum?really?
obviously a bit ruffled but how dramatic.
He'll be back,
I guess the true measure of his disdain is that the "resignation" was not afforded any literary flair.

I'd have to agree with you. On the flip side, the 'resignation' has certainly attracted notoriety.

My facility with language is above average and my ability to royally screw things up is also above average

Suspect we have more dyslexics in the English-speaking world because we for historical reasons, including the Normans and the printing press, spell words non-phonetically.

Like spelling forred "forehead".

Interesting. He seemed (generally) more coherent than Sam Hunt and not disposed to poetry.

And don't you mean, mispronouncing "forehead" as "forred"?

If you speak the queens english, it's a lot more phonetic, but yea, it's a pretty crap language, lots of stupid rules.

It has been said that English borrows words from other languages.

It has also been said that it doesn't borrow words from other languages, it follows them into dark alleys, knocks them down, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Speaking of Germans... English is a Germanic, not a Latin tongue. Sure, with many French/Latin words, but you can throw them all out and we will still have a tongue that works with more than only its bare bones.

Like the words above.

That would be ‘speeking Chermann’

I like to think he'd be proud of us.
