@6h0st1nth3m4ch1n3,

Stop that nonsense and take your sick dog to the vet NOW. And that's not what "elope" means, but you got NO TIME for dictionaries. MOVE!!!!!

Another example tailor-made to bundle puristic panties.

And to think that High Seas, the master of all that is language, made this egregious error. It could even see her kicked out of the prescriptivists' guild if they ever heard of it.

This argument looks like fun. Can anyone join in?

@6h0st1nth3m4ch1n3,

Never mind that one, have you any update on the sick dog?? Lookit, if all else fails send me an IM with a street address and I'll mail you a check for the vet and for dog medications - McTag here knows me and he knows my word is good.

Why thank you, J.

That is very touching and very heartwarming.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that.

If you type carelessly, spell badly, and write poorly, you risk giving others the impression you are careless and worse, not worth reading.
And that is surely the opposite of what you intend.

I don't know why that works for McTag as he seems honest.

There've been too many fabrications from you, High Seas to consider trusting you with or for anything.

You're pointing your finger at the wrong person, 6h0st... . But you'd have no way of knowing that my post was sarcastic. It's High Seas who tries to correct other people's English but she knows so little about language that she only ends up embarrassing herself.

@McTag,

Hello, McTag - except for you and the original poster all other entries here on my screen show "user ignored", so presumably your comment refers to one of those. No argument is therefore involved here; this methodology has much to commend it, not least saving reading time. I do hope the original poster comes back and replies - so far no IMs from him have been received - and will update you as I know that you, also, love dogs.

That's true, but consider he's posting under stress - quite understandable considering the health emergency of his dog.

Yes, we've heard your "joke" a few times now, HS. It wasn't funny the first time around. But keep milking it.

no presumably about it, i put JTT on ignore for a few seconds, and when i came back to this thread i could see quite clearly that McTag's response was to JTT, so let's be honest, McTag's response was to a poster you have on ignore, not presumably

by the way i un-ignored JTT, in my humble opinion, the ignore button is the refuge of the coward

Oh, what a tangled web she weaves when it's her practiced study to deceive.
