@Lustig Andrei,
Quote:Has it ever occurred to you, JTT, that when you go off on these tangents on what are supposed to be language threads all you're doing is confusing the OPs for whom English is still a minor mystery?
Of course it hasn't occurred to you, Merry, that the question was long ago answered, completely.
A language incompetent like you, one of the Peeves group, is hardly the one to be deciding what ought to be discussed with language students.
Had you actually read the thread, you would have noticed that Ori wasn't the least bit puzzled.
Quote:You're certainly not competent enough to discuss politics or world history.
But Noam Chomsky is. As is John Stockwell, Howard Zinn, William Blum and others. But you, laden with a lifetime of this propaganda pablum are not, nor are you near brave enough to even consider learning.
Quote:And, you're right on one point, of cours: I'm frightened to discuss anything of which I have extremely limited knowledge. Apparently, it doesn't stop you, however.
And yet you still post and opine.
