i dont really care about my reputation anywhere, as ive said if you dont like me ignore me (or ban, whichever, dont care, whichever you see fit)

but there are people that find me enjoyable, as i said its all sarcasm, even the post that started all of this. (see my first post in this topic).

sarcasm is my thing, i love it, and i use it often. but you can definately tell when im being serious (i.e. now)

if you dont like sarcasm (especially when its easy to point out), then just ban me.

Look, people arent going to start gunning for the people you know just because you know them.

If that was the case, Id be banned 3 times over, PM it to me nice and quietly and Ill post that you arent a lying sack of shit.

sepia stopped staring at Deedlit long enough to write:
It's "I don't need any stinking rules"

My god, using a bunch of negatives in a sentence is truly aggravating. I really don't mean to sound snobby and annoyingly grammatically correct.


Interestingly enough, English used to have double negatives. In fact, English is in the minority as far as that goes. While it does make "sense" in a mathematical way not to allow double negatives - language isn't math. Double negatives are an innate thing - just like using prepositions if the verb precedes its object and postpositions if the verb follows its object, or the tendancy to use language to be rather broad.

So how come English doesn't have the beasts? Well, at the time that English was getting standardized (around the time the printing press became a big hit in London) there was a fad amongst foppish nobles and speculative grammarians to scorn the use of double negatives. Usually for the reason that "double negatives just don't make no sense." Anyway, so this grammarian makes up a book (which, as part, decries double negatives as uncultured and stupid) of English Grammar and it sells fantastically to the schools. Standard English absorbed that little gremlin for just long enough while cementing itself that a fad from centuries ago has become mantra to grammar teachers everywhere.

But how do we know that double negatives are native to language, and not an invention? Take a peep at almost any creole.

A creole is our little looking glass to the roots of language - a language comprised of only the bare necessities. How do creoles come about? When a community grows up without a language of their own, they'll take what linguistic scraps they can find and toss them together. Where does that happen? Often times in colonial situations. Black Vernacular English (occasionally refered to as Ebonics) is an example that you might be framiliar with. Slaves of different tongues had to communicate with each other, and with their English speaking owners. Slowly enough a creolized register of English came about.

What's the big deal there? Black Vernacular English, a creole, has always had double negatives - ever since its inception. Ergo, double negatives are innate to language and perfectly sensible (as far as language is concerned).

So, to sum up: MY LIFE IS A CROTCH!

The moral of the story: Vorbis has too much free time, and is too obsessed with language.

Here's your very first test on these forums. Can you let this thread die, or are you going to drag the shitstorm out until you're banned?

The first step: stop posting.

Ya only got three words that match, and they dont have any of the western vernicular...

A better way to say would be "we dont need no stinkin rules" butthats still stupidly offensive.

I am so glad the origin of his name was cleared up. I was getting tired of thinking of his name as "Man + Juice + y". And that left an impression worse than the aftertaste of a diet soda. :bleh:

Perhaps you should read the rules again, chump. I wrote them for a reason.

And for the love of Ebert, use proper capitalization. We maintain standards here.

I don't normally find myself lurking, just biting my tongue.

Which is why I try not to let guys like this bug me.

However, coming right out and saying you've been flamed/banned before and that you just don't care is bad mojo.

p.s. Suddar was fat
